Dir: Alexander Olch
Filmmaker Richard P. Rogers tried unsuccessfully for twenty years to make a documentary about his life. When he died in 2001, he left behind his unfinished life's work and many, many reels of film. His wife --acclaimed photographer Susan Meiselas --commissioned Rogers' former student Alexander Olch to complete the project. Working in collaboration with Meiselas and Rogers' longtime friends actor and writer Wallace Shawn and Bob Balaban, Olch creates a sensitive and enigmatic portrait of his mentor.
“A stirring autobiography-by-proxy culled from 200 hours of footage… an act of memory preservation and facilitation whose eloquence, largely free of pat analysis, captures the messy, paradoxical emotions that often remain irreconcilable to the grave.” – Nick Schager, Slant MagazineOffiicial Website

Please Note:
Citadel renovations are ongoing, so Metro Cinema continues to screen in the Rice Theatre, just down the hall from our normal room. Until we return to the Zeidler, screenings will continue to be from video, and not from 35mm.
Also, all Silver Screen passes are good for 3 months past their normal date of expiry, to thank you for your patience.
