A SLICE OF BLOOD AND HONEY:
Experimental Cinema
From Macedonia - Fri - Sat at 7, 9:15pm
Against the struggles of economic
hardship and bitter Balkan politics, Macedonia has a flourishing youth
culture. NWFF Studio Director, Dave Hanagan, visited its capital,
Skopje, this spring to meet filmmakers and bring back examples of
their work. Among these four programs are short films, video art and
documentaries that provide a sometimes playful and sometimes jarring
reality as it is seen by the eyes of Macedonia's young, contemporary
artists.

GLASS: A PORTRAIT OF PHILIP IN 12 PARTS - Daily at 7, 9:30pm (plus Sat & Sun at 2, 4:30)
Philip Glass's achievements in music - film scores,
operas, symphonies - make him one of the most important composers of
our era, crossing divides between elitist concert halls and popular
venues. Director Scott Hicks (SHINE,
SNOW FALLING ON CEDARS) gains access to confidants and situations that
the average documentarian could never obtain. The film traces an
eventful year in Glass' life, as he stages the opera WAITING FOR THE
BARBARIANS, writes his eighth symphony, scores several films, travels
the world and maintains a family with his fourth wife, Holly.
