The Lives of Artists: Five Films by Michael Almereyda

One of the most consistently inventive, impossible-to-categorize directors of our time, Michael Almereyda ( Tesla ) has shown a fascination with idiosyncratic characters and visionary creators across both his narrative and documentary films. This selection of Almereyda’s nonfiction work brings together a candid portrait of legendary photographer William Eggleston ( William Eggleston in the Real World ), a wild ride through the colorful life of Hollywood Renaissance man Hampton Fancher ( Escapes ), and three shorts that draw inspiration from the photography of Chris Killip and the poetry of John Ashbery and Kenneth Koch.
