Ok, last post about Iceland, I swear.
Oddly, one of my favorite things in Iceland was going to RIFF at the cinema down the street from my hostel to see Man on Wire with a subsequent Q&A session with the director, James Marsh. Now, I know I'm late on the train for this one, but it is a spectacular film; incredibly moving and uplifting. If you haven't seen it yet, do it NOW. I'm pretty sure you can find it streaming on Netflix.
Anyway, here is a clip from the Q&A. Apologies for the off WB and shitty timing, I am way too lazy to color correct (why bother?) and I didn't think to start recording his responses til halfway through the session. Here he first answers a question about why he only used stills to portray the moments when Phillipe was on the wire and then discusses why he deliberately chose not to address the 9/11 attacks.
A very interesting talk and I wish I had more to share!
