Film:
Land Of Look Behind (1982)
Director Alan Greenberg in attendance
This documentary feature, made for $9200 (including kidnapping ransom paid to the crew's Castro-backed captors), is the finest and first non-fiction film to on the subject of Rastafarianism and reggae.?First-time director Alan Greenberg, a Werner Herzog protege, has invented an amalgam of dramatic and field technique with breathtaking results--in fact Herzog has called it the documentary film that has influenced him more than any other over the last 20 years, while it's one of Jim Jarmusch's three favorite films, ever. The images and characters are unforgettable, the reggae performances by Gregory?Issaacs and Lui Lepki genuinely hypnotic, and the original non-reggae scoring sublime.
The Ballad of Ramblin' Jack (2000)
Director Aiyana Elliott and co-writer Dick Dahl in attendance
What happens when your dad is a pioneering folksinger who lives up to his nickname perhaps more than you'd like? In this excellent "bio-documentary" Aiyana Elliott sets out to tell the story of her father from myriad perspectives, including her own.
