COMMENTS
Screened in the program The Heart of Guy Maddin. Guy Maddin attended to receive the 2006 Golden Gate Persistence of Vision Award.
OTHER
Maddin’s newest film is a collaboration with Isabella Rossellini to commemorate her filmmaker father Roberto’s centennial. Rossellini plays all the parts—her father, herself and peers such as Hitchcock, Chaplin and Fellini—in this tribute to one of cinema’s greatest directors and to cinema itself.
—Jason Sanders
FACTOID #27
A surrealist stop-motion animator, the Czech Jan Svankmajer, was the first recipient of the Golden Gate Persistence of Vision Award in 1997. The POV Award honors the lifetime achievement of a filmmaker who works outside of feature-length narrative filmmaking.
