Year: 2007
Director: Jack Youngelson, Peter Sutherland
Plot: Filmmakers Peter Sutherland and Jack Youngelson profile controversial photographer Tierney Gearon in a documentary that traces the acclaimed shutterbug's personal development and highly publicized run in with London police -- who deemed her 2001 exhibition at a London's Saatchi Gallery pornographic. When Gearon was just a young adolescent, her mother began to experience troubling psychological problems that eventually shattered their entire family. Years later, as the artist's own marriage began to fail, Gearon immersed herself in film as a means of documenting her family and embarking on an inward journey of self-examination. Whether her portraits were of her two young children or her elderly mother, the photographer consistently claims that every picture she takes is a self-portrait. In 2001, authorities accused Gearon of child pornography upon discovering that her Saatchi Gallery exhibition contained nude pictures of her children, and as a result Gearon began to doubt her abilities as a parent as she increasingly turned her lens on her own mother. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Body: The Tribeca Film Festival opens tomorrow (with Baby Mama, a film I haven’t seen but am rooting for via sheer love for Miss Liz Lemon), and there are a number of films on the schedule that we’ve covered at other festivals and can reccommend, including Baghead, Bigger, Stronger, Faster* and especially Mister Lonely. After the jump, you’ll find a look at some of the films and events that I’m looking forward to covering over the next couple of weeks. The festival concludes on May 4. 2001: A Space Odyssey: A gem of a special event. First, a 40th anniversary screening of Stanley Kubrick’s sci-fi masterpiece. Then, a panel discussion, featuring astronaut Buzz Aldrin, actor Matthew Modine, science writer Ann Druyan, artificial intelligence pioneer Marvin Minsky and NPR’s Ira Flatow. My Winnipeg: Guy Maddin’s latest, a highly dramatized personal doc about his hometown, was one of my favorite films of 2007, but I never got around to reviewing it at Toronto. I’m looking forward to seeing it again at Tribeca and finally publishing a review before its release via IFC this spring. My Marlon and Brando: An experimental narrative that dramatizes the real-life story of a romance between an Iraqi actor named Hama Ali Khan and Turkish actress Ayça Damgaci. In spring of 2003, as the war in Iraq began, Damgaci headed into Iraq to find Khan. Damgaci plays herself, and actuals video love letters made by Khan are woven throughout. The Tribeca catalog describes the film as “something wonderful and new in the history of lovers beseeching.” Sold! See the English-language trailer at YouTube. Somers Town: Shane Meadows, director of another of my 2007 favorites, This is England, reteams with young England co-star Thomas Turgoose for another coming-of-age drama, this one about the friendship between two boys who fall for the same girl Guest of Cindy Sherman: Tribeca often makes it a point to showcase non-conventional, independently produced documentaries about artists, with A Walk into the Sea and the woefully underseen Tierney Gearon: The Mother Project as recent examples. In this competition feature, videographer Paul H-O documents his relationship––as both documentarian and love interest––to art star Cindy Sherman. Faubourg Tremé: The Untold Story of Black New Orleans: As a Katrina doc completist, I’d be remiss to not check out Dawn Logsdon and Lolis Eric Elie’s portrait of the Faubourg Tremé section of New Orleans, also known as the Sixth Ward. The filmmakers began following residents of the area years before the storm and continued to track their lives through the Hurricane and its aftermath. I Am Because We Are: A documentary written, produced by and starring Madonna, about AIDS orphans in Malawi, the country she somewhat controversially adopted a child from? I am because I can’t look away. Other films on my screening list: The Auteur, Chevolution, Secret of the Grain, Milosevic on Trial, Eden, The Chicken, The Fish and the King Crab, Lou Reed’s Berlin, The Objective, Milky Way Liberation Front, Lost Indulgence.
