With over 100 films and panels at the festival, we hope you sample from several sections. Start with our expanded Gala line-up featuring films with high-profile makers and subjects, among them the world premiere of CAN’T STAND LOSING YOU, a portrait of pop-rock legends The Police. Move on to the Viewfinders competition section for distinct directorial voices, including the US premiere of THE PERVERT’S GUIDE TO IDEOLOGY, reuniting the provocative duo of filmmaker Sophie Fiennes and cultural critic extraordinaire Slavoj Žižek. For New York stories, turn to the Metropolis competition, with highlights like PLIMPTON!, a profile of the inimitable man of letters. This year, the festival introduces two new sidebar sections: Sonic Cinema taps into the vibrant doc genre of music with such films as BIG STAR: NOTHING CAN HURT ME, a US premiere; Photography on Film explores the intersection between still and moving images with programs like the one-time-only event VII UNCOMMISSIONED. DOC NYC also expands its panel offerings with Doc-A-Thon, a five-day series of discussions and masterclasses essential for both established professionals and aspiring filmmakers. The American Perspectives and International Perspectives sections boast lively docs covering subjects as diverse as an ambitious animator in PERSISTENCE OF VISION and Guatemalan bus culture in LA CAMIONETA. The Short List section expands to offer another look at ten of the year’s best documentaries, all front-runners for awards season. And our Midnight selections bring you late-night eye-openers like BETTIE PAGE REVEALS ALL. What else is new?

    May 24, 2014 Star Shines at Shell PHOTO BY YOSHI JAMES Homage to cult band’s “Third” kicks off Levitt series By Bob Mehr The Levitt Shell’s 2014 summer season opened Friday night, with a teeming crowd of roughly 4,000 who camped out under clear skies to hear the music of Memphis’ greatest cult band Big Star, in a show dedicated to its dark masterpiece, Third. Performed by an all-star troupe of local and national musicians, it was yet another reminder of how the group, critically acclaimed but commercially doomed during their initial run in the early 1970s, has developed into one of the unlikeliest success stories in rock and roll. The Third album — alternately known as Sister Lovers — was originally recorded at Midtown’s Ardent Studios in the mid-’70s, but vexed the music industry at the time, and was given a belated, minor indie-label release at the end of the decade. However, the music and myth of Third would grow exponentially in the decades to come. When it was finally issued on CD in the early ’90s, the record was hailed by Rolling Stone as an “untidy masterpiece ... beautiful and disturbing, pristine and unkempt — and vehemently original.” 1 North Carolina musician Chris Stamey had long been enamored of the record and the idea of recreating the Third album (along with full string arrangements) live on stage. He was close to realizing a version of the show with a reunited, latter- day Big Star lineup, when the band’s camp suffered a series of losses: first, with the passing of Third producer Jim Dickinson in 2009, and then the PHOTO BY YALONDA M.

  • On Bach's Bottomby Alex Chilton
    On Bach’s Bottom by Alex Chilton Elizabeth Barker Not too many years ago, I stole a rock star’s likeness for my novel and then he asked me on a date. He’s the singer for a band I’ve loved since I was 14, one of the most enduring infatuations of my life. The character I based on him was very minor: my protagonist’s most adored ex-boyfriend, who wore beaded necklaces and ate his ice cream from the pint, with a butter knife instead of a spoon. He existed in flashbacks where kids drank Alex Chilton warm beer on back porches in the New England summertime, Rickie Lee Jones on the Bach’s Bottom radio. In one scene he dragged his finger through the melted frosting of a lemon danish, on a front stoop on a Sunday morning when he and his girl had barely slept and both had 1981 exciting hair, unwashed and ocean-salty. Line Records There wasn’t much point in adding that character to the story. I mostly stole the singer’s likeness so that I could infuse some of his goofball aura into my book. His aura was the exact sunny-yellow of the nucleus of a lemon danish, and I wanted to use him like a filmmaker uses pop songs to siphon off the sentiment of the melody. A few months after I wrote that section of my book, the singer moved to Los Angeles, to my side of town. And it unthrills me to get to this part of the story, because no one ever wants to use the word Twitter when they’re talking about love—but I suppose that’s the reality of the world today.

Widely regarded as one of the most prominent figures in the history of sports, Armstrong had brought global attention to cycling as the man who had triumphed over cancer and went on to win bicycling’s greatest race, the Tour de France, a record seven consecutive times. Charting Armstrong’s life-story (and given unprecedented access to both the Tour and the man), Gibney began filming what he initially envisioned as the ultimate comeback story – Armstrong’s return from his 2005 retirement and his attempt to win his eighth Tour.

  • Alex Chilton By:Dave Hoekstra Jan
    Alex Chilton by:Dave Hoekstra Jan. 30, 1994 The pairing of Alex Chilton and Ben Vaughn is a natural. Each is a terrifically perceptive songwriter, influenced by the wonder of 1960s AM radio, but stimulated by the challenge of reinvention in the 1990s. Chilton, 42, grew up in Memphis, Tenn., where he played in the Box Tops from 1967-70 and the celebrated Big Star from 1971-74. Chilton's songs have been recorded by the Bangles, R.E.M. and the Replacements, who paid homage with the hit tune "Alex Chilton." Besides working as a songwriter, he has been a cabbie and a dishwasher, and last year, took part in an acclaimed Big Star reunion. Vaughn, 38, was borm in Camden, N.J. Marshall Crenshaw had a hit with Vaughn's "I'm Sorry (But So Is Brenda Lee)," and the Skeletons dipped into the Vaughn songbag for "I Dig Your Wig" and "Lookin' for a 7-11." Vaughn is a passionate American musicologist, having compiled and annotated "Johnny Otis: The Capitol Years," and last year, produced the late Arthur Alexander's "Lonely Just Like Me." Besides being a songwriter, he's been a landscaper and a dishwasher. His new record is "Mono U.S.A." (Bar None Records). Chilton and Vaughn met in the mid-1980s, when they did some Midwestern dates together, and now the Ben Vaughn Combo will open for Chilton Friday at Metro.[Editors note: the cover was only $4!] Chilton and Vaughn plan to collaborate on some new songs. On a conference call last week, Chilton and Vaughn discussed the craft of songwriting.

  • North Mississippi Allstars: up and Rolling
    North Mississippi Allstars: Up and Rolling A forgotten roll of film inspired a musical accompaniment, the North Mississippi Allstars’ new record Up and Rolling. Shot before the turn of the century, the photographs resonate with the music of four families from the Mississippi hills. The album captures the communal spirit upon which the band was founded. In 1996, a photographer from Texas, Wyatt McSpadden, traveled to North Mississippi looking to photograph local musicians. Brothers Luther and Cody Dickinson had grown up just south of Memphis and cut their teeth playing experimental rock & roll together, as well as the roots repertoire pioneered by their father, Jim Dickinson, a legendary producer (Big Star, the Replacements) and session player (Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan). Their feet were firmly planted in the North Mississippi mud and music scene, and they were excited to show Wyatt around their community, to introduce him to the musical families of Otha Turner, RL Burnside and Junior Kimbrough. Their first stop was Otha Turner’s farm. Then in his late eighties, he was the last living fife and drum musician in the hills—“and a friend to all,” Luther exclaims. “He looked sharp that day, still in his Sunday best and ready for a good time.” They all sat together on Otha’s fabled front porch, which was something like a classroom for the elder Dickinson brother. The two would sit for hours, the kid playing guitar while the old man made up lyrics on the spot. That’s how “Call That Gone” came into the world, decades before the Allstars recorded it for Up and Rolling.

    WMC INVESTIGATION: 10-YEAR ANALYSIS OF GENDER & OSCAR NOMINATIONS womensmediacenter.com @womensmediacntr WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER ABOUT THE WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER In 2005, Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem founded the Women’s Media Center (WMC), a progressive, nonpartisan, nonproft organization endeav- oring to raise the visibility, viability, and decision-making power of women and girls in media and thereby ensuring that their stories get told and their voices are heard. To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.
