FILM FORMALLY is back! This month, friend of the podcast Sophy Romvari’s films are premiering on the CRITERION CHANNEL and to mark the occasion we’ve recorded a set of commentaries for six of these films - NINE BEHIND, IT’S HIM, PUMPKIN MOVIE, NORMAN NORMAN, IN DOG YEARS, and STILL PROCESSING.
Please note that, due to sync necessities, there are a few gaps in the episode’s discussion: we’ve filled with with snippets of Will’s original score for the film.
A box of stunning family photos unseen for decades awakens lost memories as they are viewed for the first time on camera.
In this episode, we discuss:
Hybrid documentary and fictional elements.
Still Processing’s long production and post-production schedule.
Photographic storyboards.
Audience expectations and documentaries about grief.
Composing the score.
What did we learn?
