The co-founder and Executive Director of the Woodstock Film Festival,
Meira Blaustein is the first guest. The 15th edition of the much respected
Hudson Valley film festival runs from October 15th through the 19th in the towns
of Woodstock, Rhinebeck, Rosendale, Saugerties, and Kingston. Tickets are
currently on sale for various screenings and panels. Get tickets and details on
their website.
Up next is filmmaker Michael Wechsler (The Red Robin) who
discusses his experiences at IFP’s Independent Film Week
where the interview took place. We also discuss Michael’s career and his latest
project. Coincidentally, The Red Robin will have its next screenings at the
Woodstock Film Festival on Friday, October 17th at the Upstate Films theater in
Woodstock, and again on Sunday, October 19th at the Orpheum Theater in
Saugerties, NY. Tickets may be purchased on the Woodstock Film Festival’s
website.
And last up is filmmaker Kevin Schreck who discusses his feature documentary
Persistence of Vision.
The film is a remarkable examination at one man’s obsession; in this case the
British animator Richard Williams (Who Framed Roger Rabbit) and his 30-year
journey attempting to create his magnum opus. He and a crew of animators hand
drew, frame by frame, what was to be the most elaborate and exceptionally
artistic animated movie of all time, called The Thief and The Cobbler. It never
came to be. Find out why in this fascinating conversation. The next screening of
Persistence of Vision is to take place at The Society of Illustrators in New
York City on October 9th. Find out more.
