Film Letters

This book of correspondence between filmmakers brings together more than fifty letters writing between artists Jim Jarmusch, Terrence Malick, Robert Frank and Bill Brandt. Postcards, manuscripts and typewritten letters together with recent emails reveal unknown and surprising relationships, a whole creative universe that take place outside the cinematographic plane. The material gathered by Garbine Ortega, director of Punto de vista International Documentary Film Festival, includes stills, portraits, drawings and story boards that bring the creative process closer to a personal and intimate sphere.

More than 50 postcards, manuscripts, typewritten letters and even emails are presented alongside stills, drawings and storyboards to create a stunning epistolary archive many years in the making. Curator and Punto de Vista International Documentary Film Festival director Garbiñe Ortega has compiled these materials in an effort to “create echoes and reverberations between materials which, as in a film, thanks to the editing, take on another meaning beyond their specific content.” The volume includes correspondence exchanged among filmmakers Jodie Mack, Jonas Mekas, Stan Brakhage, Jorge Honik, Claudio Caldini, Lech Kowalski, Nicole Brenez, Marcel Hanoun, Nathaniel Dorsky, George Kuchar, Nazli Dinçel, Norman McLaren, Maya Deren, Jean Vigo, Richard Leacock, Monica Flaherty, Richard Linklater, Gabe Kingler, Robert Breer, Robert Smithson, Nancy Holt, Fernando Trueba, Jean-Marie Straub, Jim Jarmusch, Hanun Farocki, Robert Frank, Fred Wiseman, Margaret Tait, Ute Aurand, Terrence Malick, Lynne Sachs and Gunvor Nelson.
