Highlighting one of the most innovative American directors, this film reveals the path traveled by the auteur from his small-town Texas roots to his warm reception on the awards circuit. Long before he directed Boyhood, Richard Linklater’s intense desire to create fueled his work outside the Hollywood system. Rather than leave Texas, he chose to collaborate with like-minded artists crafting modest, low-budget films in a DIY style. His ability to showcase realistic characters and tell honest stories was evident from his films, and others soon took notice of his raw talent.Mr. Football

IMDB 8 | Jul , 1992
The first biographical film on the famed Mexican artist, traces his life from childhood through his Cubist period, his leading role in the Mexican mural renaissance, his fame as a muralist in the USA, and his later years. The film explores Rivera's life and work, including his stormy relationship with Frida Kahlo and the destruction of his famous mural at Rockefeller Center. Shot on location in Mexico and the United States, the film includes a remarkable collection of archival film and photographs, much of which has not been seen before. The text is drawn from the writings of Rivera and Kahlo and from other historical texts. Using Rivera's own words, this richly detailed film brings to life the difficulty he faced in his transition from studio artist to public and political artist, and the conflicts that arose from that point onward.Věra 68

In 2018, when Juraj Jakubisko celebrated his 80th birthday, his students from the Miroslav Ondříček Film Academy in Písek, led by director and composer Patrik Ulrich, decided to pay tribute to him with a 30-minute documentary. The documentary focuses on three of the artist's key activities: film, visual arts and teaching. Quite a lot has been written and filmed about Jakubisko's film work, so the most interesting part of the film is a unique insight into Jakubisko's artistic world. For example, the protagonist shows us the pages of his cartoon diary. Jakubisko's collaborators, including his wife Deana and cameraman F. A. Brabec.
