Renowned cinema verité filmmaker Chris Hegedus, along with her late husband and co-director D.A. Pennebaker, was nominated for an Academy Award in 1993 for “The War Room”, a fleet-footed and entertaining documentary following the brainstorming and bull sessions of Bill Clinton's crack team of campaign consultants, especially James Carville and George Stephanopoulos, who became media stars in their own right. In her discussion with Tiller, Chris reflects on first getting connected with Pennebaker (3:00), recognizing dramatic verité stories to tell (11:30), meeting the larger-than-life star of “The War Room” James Carville (16:40), shooting only 40 hours on 16mm film (21:10), her and D.A.'s editing process (31:00), and ultimately when to put the paintbrush down (39:00). 

The NSCAD film festival is back for its third year and one of the alumni returning is Oscar-nominated Chris Hegedus. She joins host Jeff Douglas to talk about her time at NSCAD and her 1993 documentary, The War Room, which is about the team that helped Bill Clinton triumph over George H.W. Bush and Ross Perot in 1992.

Historian Ronnie Grinberg's new book Write Like a Man: Jewish Masculinity and the New York Intellectuals couldn't be better "Know Your Enemy" fodder. (Main characters include: Midge Decter and Norman Podhoretz, Diana and Lionel Trilling, Irving Howe, Alfred Kazin, and Mary McCarthy!) These writers, Grinberg shows, built and sustained a novel, secular, Jewish, and masculine concept of the intellectual life, an ideology that would profoundly affected the development of  Cold War liberalism, neo-conservativism, Zionism, and right-wing reaction against feminism, gay rights, and black power. As we discovered in this conversation, it's impossible to make sense of the creative and scholarly contributions of the New York Intellectuals — good and bad — without gender as an essential lens. Moreover, Grinberg shows how scholars can easily misapprehend the deeper motivations for neoconservative reaction (among those such as Podhoretz and Decter) if they are not attentive to the centrality of gender, sexuality, and patriarchy in these thinkers' work.  Further Reading:Ronnie Grinberg, Write Like a Man: Jewish Masculinity and the New York Intellectuals (Mar 2024)Sam Adler-Bell, "The New York Intellectuals Were a Boys' Club," Chronicle of Higher Education, Apr 10, 2024Matthew Sitman, "Midge Decter to Howard Meyer, April 15, 1987," Friends and Enemies, Apr 8, 2024B.D.

I moderated a panel discussion at ReelAbilities Film Festival on The Quiet Epidemic, an eye-opening film about Lyme disease that highlights the emotional toll of patients' journeys with the illness and the scientific facts of the disease.  During the panel I spoke with the film's Emmy-winning producer Chris Hegedus, who helped the directors bring this topic to light, 19-year-old Julia Bruzzese, a patient with Lyme disease featured in the film who bravely shared her story because she knew it could help other patients, and Julia's dad, Enrico Bruzzese, who has been her caregiver and biggest supporter. This episode also includes my recent conversation with past guest and the film's executive producer, Ally Hilfiger, who talks about her own Lyme story and how important it was for the film to include both real, digestible science and a patient's story for viewers to connect with. The Quiet Epidemic reminds us how important it is to educate about a devastating tick-borne disease like Lyme, which is growing more and more common, yet still so difficult to test for and treat.

In the last few years, many people have turned to home baking as a distraction, as solace, and for fun. But nothing beats the sweet and inventive creations of a professional pastry chef. On this week's show, we get a peek into the lives and careers of those behind the rolling pin. We begin with internet cake sensation Bronwen Wyatt of Bayou St. Cake. Bronwen's cakes are not only delicious but visually arresting, with designs that draw on the baker's art school education. We learn the role social media played in her launching her small cake company in 2020. Then, we sit down with Kelly Jacques and Samantha Weiss, who are bringing freshly baked joy to New Orleans' Marigny neighborhood through their new bakery café, Ayu Bakehouse. They discuss how their education and friendship evolved over the years, leading to their shared vision being realized on Frenchmen Street. Finally, we hear about the illustrious career of Jacquy Pfeiffer, the James Beard Award-winning pastry chef who helped found The French Pastry School in Chicago and whose quest to win the Meilleurs Ouvriers de France (France's top pastry prize) was the subject of a documentary by D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus.

Prestigious podcaster and poster Grimm joins us to discuss two documentaries chronicling the 1992 presidential election cycle from very different perspectives. First, we discuss Chris Hegedus and D.A. Pennebaker's lionizing character study 'The War Room', chronicling the efforts of Bill Clinton's campaign advisors, George Stephanopoulos and "Ragin' Cajun" James Carville. It's a hagiographic text owed a great deal of blame for the faux-proletarianization of democratic politics in the 90s.Next, we cover the underseen, revelatory 'SPIN' by Brian Springer. It's a revealing look behind the scenes of 1992's biggest news items through the use of raw satellite footage that shows the multitude of ways the media surreptitiously flattens, omits, and outright fabricates the news to sell us the status quo.

Long before documentary series were the trend, filmmakers D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus created THE ENERGY WAR: FILIBUSTER a ground-breaking episodic look at Washington, D.C in 1977-78. Part Two of the series, FILIBUSTER is a real-life political drama, taking audiences behind-the-scenes during the fierce legislative battle and historic double filibuster over President Carter's natural gas bill. Referred to as a “holy war,” the issue had evaded solutions for more than thirty years and six presidents. THE ENERGY WAR features combatants on all sides of the political aisle, from oil lobbyists to Senator Edward Kennedy to Secretary of Energy James R. Schlesinger. First aired on PBS in 1979, the series has scarcely been seen since. The documentary continues to resonate today as politicians struggle to fix our current energy crisis. Chris Hegedus, D. A. Pennebaker, and Pat Powell capture all of the drama and brinksmanship of a political era where senators did something nearly unimaginable today, they crossed party lines to negotiate an important and historically significant piece of legislation, the deregulation of the natural gas industry. Co-director Chris Hegedus joins us for a conversation on the why and how she and her collaborators were able to chronicle a ground floor, fly-on-the-wall view of political history.

In 1992, strategists James Carville and George Stephanopoulos changed the way campaigns are waged... or did they??? We revisit THE WAR ROOM (1993), D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus's acclaimed documentary about the Clinton/Bush election, and remember just how dispiriting the '90s were. "The Rise and Fall of Clintonism" by Ryan Cooper - https://www.thenation.com/article/the-rise-and-fall-of-clintonism/ "Is Trump the New Clinton" by Musa al-Gharbi - https://thebaffler.com/latest/is-trump-the-new-clinton-al-gharbi

In the late 1980s, Depeche Mode invited D.A. Pennebaker and his wife Chris Hegedus to make a film about the band, using Bob Dylan: Dont Look Back as an example. Like that film, Depeche Mode: 101 is largely in the Direct Cinema style that characterizes Pennebaker’s work, and it’s much more than a concert recording. After the screening, Eric Hynes talks with the legendary documentary duo about the film and shooting music documentaries in general. (Recorded November 19, 2017 at EYE Cinema.)

Talking to BBC Radio 4 Film Programme presenter Francine Stock, renowned filmmakers and Academy Award-winners D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus discuss their latest film Unlocking the Cage, as well as look back over a body of work spanning 40 years. Supported by BBC Storyville.

Acclaimed documentary filmmakers D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus, directors of Unlocking the Cage, talk to SIFFcast about their film.

This week’s pairing tracks the rise and fall of Clintonism in America via two behind-the-scenes documentaries following dramatic Democratic campaigns: 1993’s THE WAR ROOM and 2016’s WEINER. In this deep-dive discussion of the earlier film, we talk over the advantages and limitations of Chris Hegedus and D.A. Pennebaker's fly-on-the-wall documentary style, compare the yin-yang personalities of stars James Carville and George Stephanopoulos, and, inevitably, wonder about the lasting effects of Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign on the 2016 election. Plus, some feedback from our last few episodes. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about THE WAR ROOM, WEINER, or both by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The latest documentary from the renowned filmmaking team of Chris Hegedus and D. A. Pennebaker (The War Room), UNLOCKING THE CAGE follows trailblazing animal rights lawyer Steven Wise in his challenge to break down the legal wall that separates animals from humans. UNLOCKING THE CAGE premiered at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival. Given that the Supreme Court has ruled that corporations are people, why not chimps? Attorney Steven Wise and his legal team, the Nonhuman Rights Project, are making history by filing the first lawsuits that seek to transform an animal from a “thing” with no rights to a “person” with legal protections. Supported by affidavits from primatologists around the world, Wise maintains that, based on scientific evidence, cognitively complex animals such as chimpanzees, whales, dolphins and elephants have the capacity for limited personhood rights that would protect them from abuse. The filmmakers capture Wise’s progress: from the halls of academia to animal sanctuaries and zoos, and finally into the courtrooms where he makes a compelling case on behalf of four captive chimpanzees in New York State. UNLOCKING THE CAGE captures a monumental shift in our culture, as the public and judicial system show increasing receptiveness to Wise’s impassioned arguments. It is a provocative and intimate look at a lawsuit that could forever transform our legal system, and one man’s lifelong quest to protect “nonhuman” animals. Among the most renowned and recognized documentary filmmakers, co-directors Chris Hegedus and D. A. Pennebaker join us to talk about their latest groundbreaking film.

Aaron is joined by Keith Enright for a discussion of politics, new and old, through the lens of The War Room (1993), the behind-the scenes 1992 Clinton campaign documentary. We go into depth about the backroom politics and how those are what defines the campaign, but are usually far from the public eye. We contrast the politics of today and yesterday by looking the current affairs and Robert Drew's Primary. About the film: The 1992 presidential election was a triumph not only for Bill Clinton but also for the new breed of strategists who guided him to the White House—and changed the face of politics in the process. For this thrilling, behind-closed-doors account of that campaign, renowned cinema verité filmmakers Chris Hegedus and D. A. Pennebaker captured the brainstorming and bull sessions of Clinton's crack team of consultants—especially James Carville and George Stephanopoulos, who became media stars in their own right as they injected a savvy, youthful spirit and spontaneity into the process of campaigning. Fleet-footed and entertaining, The War Room is a vivid document of a political moment whose truths (“It's the economy, stupid!”) still ring in our ears.

Dokumentären Till Ungdomen, som har premiär den här helgen, skulle egentligen ha handlat om drömmar, visioner och politiskt engagemang hos fyra norska ungdomar. Tanken var att följa dom inför valkampanjen 2011, men mitt i inspelningsarbetet inträffar då terrordådet på Utöya, och filmen får ett helt annat innehåll. För alla ungdomarna påverkas på olika sätt. Kinos reporter Hugo Lavett träffade Till ungdomens regissör kari Anne Moe och en av de medverkande ungdomarna Sana el Morabit, och ingen av dem kommer någonsin att glömma var de var den 22 juli 2011. Filmarna D A Pennebaker och Chris Hegedus har gjort legendariska dokumentärer. Pennebaker kommer för evigt att gå till filmhistorien som mannen som fångade Bob Dylan i Don't look back från 1967 - den där Dylan håller stora skyltar med ord ur texten till Subterranean Homesick Blues. Han har också dokumenterat musikfestivalen i Monterey i filmen Monterey Pop. Och tillsammans med sin fru Chris Hegedus har de också gjort filmen Town Bloody Hall som vi berättade om förra veckan, samt The War Room om president Clintons presidentvalskampanj. Kino fick finbesök av regissörsduon i studion. Här kan du lyssna på den klippta versionen: Och här på den lite längre: I helgen är det faktiskt premiär för hela två filmer som handlar om en period av livet som många tenderar att mytologisera. Både svenska Bitchkram och franska Min ungdoms kärlek kretsar kring åren runt tjugo. En period av sökande, stormiga kärlekshistorier och karriärdrömmar. I Min ungdoms kärlek är det Camille som måste ta sig vidare efter att tonårsförälskelsen kraschat och historien bygger faktiskt på regissören Mia Hansen-Löves egna erfarenheter av att tillbringa större delen av tiden mellan 15 och 19, gråtande på en säng. När Nina Asarnoj träffade Mia Hansen-Löve på ett hotell i Stockholm så handlade samtalet ganska snabbt om hur det EGENTLIGEN var de där dramatiska åren. Och om att göra en långfilm för att komma över minnena från den tiden. När filmsajten Netflix lanserades i Sverige i måndags hade man flugit in tre höjdare för att möta den svenska pressen. Roger Wilson var där för att ta reda på vad sajten egentligen innehåller, och ta reda på mer om Netflix satsningar på egna tv-serier - där man tänker släppa säsongernas samtliga avsnitt på en och samma gång. Att Lars von Trier gillar regler och koncepttänk, det vet vi efter till exempel Dogmaprojektet med sina stränga regler, och filmen de fem benspaend, där han tvingade den danske regissören Jörgen Leth att spela in en film utifrån vissa begränsningar som Lars von Trier hittat på. Och lite samma stuk hittar man i konstprojektet Gesamt som von Trier har tagit intitiativet till. Där har han valt ut sex konstverk ur kulturhistorien som sedan filmare över hela världen fick tolka eller inspireras av. De gjorde sedan vars en max fem minuter lång film, som sedan regissören Jenle Hallund i sin tur klippte ihop till nya filmer. Det kom in över 500 bidrag från 52 länder som Hallund fick sätta saxen i. Sveriges Radios kulturkorrespondenet Gunnar Bolin åkte till konsthallen Charlottenborg i Köenhamn för att se Gesamt, där han visades in av Christian Skovbjerg Jensen.
