Directors on Directors

Storied auteurs are seen through the lens of fellow filmmaking greats in these revealing director-on-director portraits that stand as distinctive works of art in their own right. Whether it’s Agnès Varda filming a walk with Pier Paolo Pasolini through 1960s Time Square, Ken Jacobs turning fellow avant-garde hero Jonas Mekas into the star of a stroboscopic still life, or Elem Klimov paying moving tribute to his late wife Larisa Shepitko, these by turns candid and carefully crafted miniatures reflect both the creative work of their subject and the unique eye of the filmmaker behind the camera.
