Pedro Costa (2001) 104 mins

Critically hailed as one of the best portrayals of the cinematic process, & called “probably the best documentary of any kind I have ever seen” by Adrian Martin, Costa’s understated documentary on Jean-Marie Straub & Danièle Huillet treats their creative partnership with insight & sensitivity. Centring on the exacting processes undertaken during the editing of their 1999 film Sicilia!, the pair recount personal anecdotes & professional ruminations over their significantly collaborative cinema. An affectionate, humorous & indelible image of profound kinship & creative symbiosis.
Imported 35mm print.
* Preceded by Casa De Lava at 7.00pm.
