One of the most interesting works in progress right now among documentary filmmakers has got to be Les Blank’s film on documentary film pioneer Ricky Leacock, described in Blank’s own words as “having the time of his life in Normandy, France, where he is happily at work creating DVDs that will contain his memories, photos, tales, and if we’re lucky, some recipes of some of the finest meals I’ve ever had.” I’m really looking forward to seeing this film, I can only imagine how wonderful it will be to see Ricky through Les’ lens. I’m also looking forward to seeing Les Blank again this summer since he’s the filmmaker in residence at the Woods Hole Film Festival this year. I suggest making plans now to spend a few days or the whole week in Woods Hole for the films, panel discussions, filmmakers, and all the other wonderful things that makes Cape Cod so wonderful in the summer. Les Blank will be showing All In This Tea, his latest film, at the festival.
