dir. Brett Morgen, 2007, 95 min.
Saturday, Mar. 3, 1pm; Blue Note
In person: award recipient Brett Morgen
Meeting Brett Morgen in person, it's hard not to draw comparisons to his most famous film subjects. Like Robert Evans or Abbie Hoffman, Brett is an animated speaker, whose ideas seem to well up and spill out as fast as he can talk. But Brett is also an extremely thoughtful observer and critic of contemporary culture. His breadth of subjects — from a small-town high school basketball team to the Yippee revolution — is impressive, and his kick-out-the-jams style means that he's never afraid to tell you where he stands. Join us as we present him with the 2007 True Vision Award. Brett will show clips from work, old and new, and give behind-the-scenes commentary on his films. This is one show-and-tell presentation that is not to be missed.
