Ep 874: Alan Berliner
from Filmwax Radio · host Adam Schartoff
The world premiere of Filmwax friend the filmmaker Alan Berliner‘s “Benita” will take place at DOC NYC. “Benita” is about experimental documentary filmmaker Benita Raphan who died by suicide during the loneliness of the COVID-19 shutdowns. DOC NYC 2024 Lifetime Achievement filmmaker Alan Berliner, who was her friend and creative advisor, creates a kind of posthumous collaboration with Benita on her final project, using as many of her images, sounds, and words as possible. BENITA is a deep dive into the many complexities of artists’ lives, from the whimsical to core existential questions, and lessons we can learn about the intersection of mental health and creativity. – Jaie Laplante of DOC NYC Screenings: Friday, 11/14 7PM at the IFC Center & Sunday, 11/16 11:30 AM at Village East. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk-lAX_947Q
