In 1985, Richard Linklater began a film screening society in Austin, Texas, that aimed to show classic films to a budding community of cinephiles. Eventually incorporating as a nonprofit, the newly branded Austin Film Society raised enough money to fly in their first out-of-town invitee: filmmaker James Benning. Starting in the ’60s, Benning had been creating non-narrative films largely on his own, while Linklater had just begun to craft his first 8mm shorts. Ever since their first meeting, the filmmakers have remained close, even as their careers have wildly diverged. This documentary explores their unique friendship and relationship to cinema.

西南偏南电影节联合创始人Louis Black与Karen Bernstein执导的一部关于美国著名导演理查德·林克莱特的纪录片。理查德·林克莱特是美国影坛最成功的独立影人之一，代表作有“爱在”系列三部曲《爱在日落黄昏时》《爱在黎明破晓前》《爱在午夜降临前》、《少年时代》等经典作品。

这部78分钟的纪录片由Michael Dunaway和Tara Wood联合编剧、导演，以理查德·林克莱特这位艺术家21年的职业生涯为主要线索，采用了真人讲述与动画场景相结合的表现手法。值得关注的是，该片邀请了伊桑·霍克、朱丽·德尔比、基努·里维斯、马修·麦康纳、扎克·埃夫隆 、比利·鲍伯·松顿、杰克·布莱克、凯文·史密斯、马克·杜普拉斯、贾森·雷特曼等等很多与他合作过的电影人，一起讲述他们心目中的林克莱特。 　　这些演员是怎么看待林克莱特？他们对着摄影机发表意见时，会比其他时候更尖锐一些吗？与他合作最多（多达7次）的男演员伊桑·霍克表示：“他有些特别之处，这让他显得独一无二。”《日出之前》三部曲女星朱丽·德尔比形容他聪明过人，对一切举重若轻。杰克·布莱克甚至打了个比方：“他就是藏在我们身边的莎士比亚。” 　　马修·麦康纳则称他是一个“老派、固执的林克莱特”，马修的出演的第一部电影《年少轻狂》就是林克莱特执导，他回想那次电影首秀，形容“如同触电”，依然心有余悸。基努·里维斯则借用林克莱特早年作品《都市浪人》（"slacker"）语带双关地说：“在他的Slacker（都市浪人）里可没有人敢slacker（偷懒）”，意思是在他手底下干活，都得打起十二分精神。

Synopsis The city’s loneliness is immense for James, an Indigenous teenager fighting to preserve his happiness and innocence amidst the urban vastness. As he struggles not to feel abandoned, he begins to realize that forging his path requires him to trample on others. Director’s statement The short film James explores a young man’s transition from childhood to adulthood as he navigates a male-dominated environment. The narrative delves into his silence and the violence he turns to in search of happiness. We collaboratively developed the dialogues to create a realistic context with casual conversations that reveal the characters’ personal anecdotes and aspirations. I prefer working with “natural actors”—people with no experience in front of the camera, but who bring all their knowledge and experiences to their characters. James Maldonado, the film’s lead, is unique as I’ve known him since he was six. In James, he perfectly conveys his character’s internal struggles, the feelings of helplessness and anger, and his emerging understanding of the world.

A biopic about the actor James Dean, whose stardom of the ultimate teenage rebel as well as the premature death made him a legend. His roles are depicted having much in common with his personal life, most notably the difficult relationship with his father.
