My favorite film about filmmaking is Wim Wender's THE STATE OF THINGS (bleak as it is...) Its cynical view of Hollywood confirms my reasons for being an independent documentary-maker. Oh-and let's not forget Dzigha Vertov's MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA (speaking of documentary, sort of) and in the independent film world, there's a wonderful feature by Tony Buba called LIGHTNING OVER BRADDOCK (distributed by Zeitgeist). It's about an socially- conscious documentary filmmaker (played by Tony) who is tempted to "go Hollywood." He's also haunted by a semi-derranged former subject played by one of Tony's semi-deranged former documentary subjects. This film includes parodies of The Godfather, Rambo, MTV and Ghandi and also manages to make a significant statement about life in the Rust Bowl outside Pittsburgh. And in the experimental realm there's Bruce Conner's A MOVIE. Gee, I think I've said enough for my first message on SCREEN-L... Hope this was useful for Henry Breitrose or others.
