"This post is part of a series of brief, email interviews that we’re conducting with select filmmakers who are showing work at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. All of our Sundance 2009 coverage lives here. Ry Russo-Young, whose first feature Orphans was recently released on DVD by Carnivalesque Films, makes her first trip to Sundance next week with You Won’t Miss Me. Described as a “kaleidoscopic narrative”, this New Frontiers section selection stars Stella Schnabel (daughter of Julian) and incorporates a wide variety of formats, including 16mm film and 1-chip video. You can check out the trailer at the filmmaker’s web site; her answers to The Four Questions We Ask Everyone, "

"I have a perverse interest in watching people do dumb things when they know there on camera. There is something compelling when someone is so arrogant as to think that they can say and do whatever they want, to whoever they want, while a filmmaker is recording everything. Perhaps there is nothing that is quite as (wrongly) gratifying as watching a really, really arrogant person get put in his place. After Don't Look Back was released, Bob Dylan, who was not exactly known for good relations with the press to begin with, became a minor recluse, rarely giving interviews, and certainly never giving anyone such complete access as D.A. Pennebaker had for this movie. And with good reason- Dylan comes off as an incredibly conceded, egotistical, and mean-spirited jerk in this movie. Don't Look Back can be compared to another documentary, Overnight, with a crucial difference. Overnight documents Troy Duffey destroying his career due to his arrogance, where Dylan is already famous. This makes ... "

"Bob Dylan has led an eventful life. He’s redefined the protest song, influenced the Beatles, found God, and won an Oscar. The nation’s reigning poet laureate continues to make great music and tour nearly 50 years after his rise to the top of the folk scene. His story is legendary and inspiring. But is it cinematic?The real-life Dylan is. D.A. Pennebaker’s Don’t Look Back and Martin Scorsese’s No Direction Home are towering documentaries chronicling the 1965 British tour and Dylan’s life up until his motorcycle wreck, respectively. That Dylan is charming, mysterious, and inspiring. He is as close to a musical superhero as anyone has come, including Elvis.But what about the fictional Dylan? Being a natural storyteller, Dylan seemed fit as any to explore himself on a deeper level. For someone who has successfully dodged the press’ attempts to explain his entire being, surely the man himself could provide the best insight.Unfortunately ... "

"Within an hour last April in Durham, I sat within ten feet of both Gary Gaetti and D.A. Pennebaker. They might as well be former college roommates.Gaetti is currently an assistant coach for the Durham Bulls. I saw the familiar name (he's a substitute on my beloved Parker Brothers' Electronic Baseball) but his neck was so tan that I thought he was black. Then he gave the first base line his profile and I saw the schnoz. It was the real deal.Pennebaker was in town promoting his new film Bob Dylan: 65 Revisited at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival. The upstairs Cinema One at the Carolina Theatre was mostly full by the time I got my will call ticket, but attending alone warranted an end seat on the second row. Four seats over from me in the front row sat an older fellow who was napping with his head straight up. A festival photographer knelt in front of me next to the stairs and snapped a few shots of a group of three ladies standing next to the stage. I wondered where P ... "
