"SOMEPLACE ELSE" on NPR... Listen to it here
& Come support US at the screening on 4/14 & 4/21 at Gene Siskel Film Center, Chicago, IL
LOOOOOOOVE, KAI
Excerpts from the NPR talk/review:
"It's great, we call it, "a personal documentary"... a documentary on Vance's career but it's also how the blues music and how things have affected Kai-Duc while he's been living here... Kai as a chicago filmmaker is pretty cool... this guy's got some talent... he quit his job just to focus on filmmaking and finishing this film. It's reflective, it's poetic... those kind of reflections, sort of internal musings are juxtaposing with Vance Kelly who's a real showman and very raunchy... this film has a lot of character and personality..."
(One misspell in the excerpt, I'm not from England but France)
Other reviews here:
"AFFECTING" "A TENDER PORTRAIT of one of Chicago's hardest-working bluesmen, an impressionistic meditation on place, belonging, and passion." (A. Mast, Flavorpill.com/chicago, Documentary Film Event of The Week)
"ENGAGINGLY INFORMAL" "PERSONAL AND POETIC" (B. Scharres, Gene Siskel Film Center, Director of Programming)
"IT'S FRESH! I LIKED IT A LOT! AN ART DOCUMENTARY." (M. Saeed-Vafa, Documentary & Critical Studies Programs, Columbia College)
Texturalistically inclined soul loving to watch indie Fs, listen to alternative Ms,
catch contemporary dance Ps, wandering in modern art Ms, travelling in unknown Ts,
taking random Ps...
Free spirited agent of the mind, I like to be aware of things surrounding
the near, the close, the not so distant, the remote and the far away in all matters...
