You may have him on your list already but if not, search for filmmaker ROSS McELWEE. Recent standard-bearer of that genre. --- Jonathan A. Cullum Auburn University "Nostalgia isn't what it used to be" --Sam Phillips >>> [log in to unmask] 4/21/2005 10:56:43 PM >>> Dear All - I am compiling a list of personal documentaries or any other films or videos of an autobiographical nature - from the most superficial/ banal to the most personal/ confessional. Any genre, from (self) promotional/ corporate through to art/ "experimental". If you are able to supply a short synopsis and/ or provide any details re distributors or accessibility through libraries etc. I would be most grateful. Also - any journals which may have devoted issues to this type of film and /or curated seasons, festivals.
