In-the-Works

Conversations

Now in its fourth year, DocuClub is proud to continue the In-the-Works session at Full Frame. Monster Road: Bruce Bickford may be the world’s only outsider/visionary/folk artist working in the medium of animation. The dark and magical clay animations he made for musician Frank Zappa in the 1970s and ‘80s are Bickford’s claim to fame, but represent just a small part of his (mostly unreleased) 40-year body of work. Monster Road is a 90-minute documentary that explores Bickford’s astounding films and the events which helped shape his amazing sensibility. Rebels: A 75-minute documentary that uses the events of July 1, 2000 (the day the Confederate flag was removed from the dome of the SC state house) as a backdrop to examine a southern filmmaker’s search to better understand both sides of the Confederate flag issue in South Carolina, and to perhaps come to terms with his own feelings about this controversial subject.
