Alan Berliner's film about his father...forgetting the title at the moment, sorry. But it's fabulous. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Dawes" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2007 8:08 PM Subject: Film Portraiture. Hello All, I hope you are well, Film Portraiture. I'm looking for examples of portraiture in documentary film. I.e. Portrait of Jason, Zinedine Zidane, Alfred Brendel, Tarnation Other potential subjects for debate. Portraiture V's Biography/Profile/Interview Could all films such as those by Nick Broofield be described as portraits. Of one person (Thatcher) or a collection of many (Chicken Ranch) Is Tarnation a self portrait? Where might the brackets of such a term sit? It is an essay about Zinedine Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait, but a growing part of the writing is being influenced by the form and history of this type of film. As well as examples, I would be interested to hear thoughts on the concept. Many thanks, Benjamin * * Film-Philosophy Email Discussion Salon.
