Year: 2008
Director: Stephen Walker
Plot: The Young@Heart Chorus is a vocal group from Northampton, Massachusetts who have earned an international reputation for their unique interpretations of songs by Sonic Youth, the Ramones and the Clash. However, this isn't a teenage garage band attacking the classic punk rock songbook -- the Young@Heart Chorus is comprised of twenty-two senior citizens whose average age is eighty, and under director Bob Cilian they've gained a degree of fame for their enthusiastic a capella renditions of well-known rock and roll tunes. Filmmaker Stephen Walker spent several weeks with the members of the Young@Heart Chorus as they rehearsed for their annual concert in Northampton, and Young@Heart is a documentary which offers a look at their rigorous rehearsal process, the background of several members, and their efforts to stay active and think positive, even as their friends succumb to old age. Produced for British television, Young@Heart was screened in competition at the 2007 Los Angeles Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Body: The International Documentary Association announced their nominees for their annual awards today. The five features to get the nod are Kassim the Dream, Stranded, Man on Wire, Young @ Heart, and Waltz With Bashir. It’s an interesting batch of nominees, for sure. For one thing, it excludes some the year’s most seen American documentaries. Though Young @ Heart and Man on Wire made multiple millions and are thus considered nonfiction hits, both of the religion twins, Religulous and Expelled (currently the #2 and #3 highest grossing nonfiction films of the year, respectively, behind U23D) were excluded from the honors. Also interesting is the nod for the mostly animated Waltz with Bashir, which Sony chose to keep in the New York Film Festival rather than pull for a qualifying run. IDA also announced today that in addition to the career award that they’d previously planned to give to Werner Herzog, the December 5 ceremony will also honor Rob Epstein with the Pioneer Award, and Stefan Forbes, director of my favorite political doc of the year thus far, Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story, will get the Jacqueline Donnet Emerging Filmmaker Award. indieWIRE has the full list of honorees.

Body: Wildly divergent posts on the State of Documentary today. At Film.com, Eric D. Snider comes up with four “possible explanations” for why reality television is more popular than documentary film; scale of distribution (ie: the fact that most documentaries play in just a handful of cities, if they get traditional theatrical distribution at all) is not mentioned, but the “lighthearted” nature of reality TV vs. non-fiction film is. Meanwhile, AJ Schnack points out that the crowd-pleasing Young@Heart is the fourth doc to cross the $1 million mark at the box office so far this year, putting 2008 on track to be the biggest year for docs since 2003. The second-highest grossing doc of this banner year thus far is Expelled; in a Pop Matters post about why that film is “the essence of bullshit”, George Reisch dismisses its success by claiming that “early box-office indications are that it’s a fizzle.” I know reality is subjective and everything, but when it’s *this* subjective, it starts to seem like a bad joke. Rainbow Media, the Cablevision-owned company that in turn owns IFC and the AMC network, has purchased the Sundance Channel. Bloggy bits from Matt Dentler, Nikki Finke, Jason Guerrasio and Alison Willmore. Anthony Miccio at Idolator bemoans the lack of a “a critical backlash” to I’m Not There (what can I say––I tried), then rants for a bit about why it sucks. A salient point: “[T]here’s a TV movie from the ’70s that equally reveled in ’60s iconography, while revealing a little more about the music itself and throwing in a bunch of jokes to boot. Maybe not taking their marvelous meta seriously is why The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash doesn’t get the same boot-licking treatment I’m Not There is enjoying.” Netflix and Blockbuster “subscribers are stuck somewhere between the years 2004 and 2006, unaware that movies like Juno and No Country for Old Men are out on DVD,” posits Chris Albrecht at NewTeeVee. “How else to explain the dearth of anything remotely resembling a “new release” in their respective Top 100 lists?” Originally posted on:SpoutBlog » Karina Longworth
