An intellect which at a certain moment would know all forces that set nature in motion, and all positions of all items of which nature is composed, if this intellect were also vast enough to submit these data to analysis, it would embrace in a single formula the movements of the greatest bodies of the universe and those of the tiniest atom; for such an intellect nothing would be uncertain and the future just like the past would be present before its eyes.”30:48 - See the bombing of Dresden in World War II Wikipedia entry32:38 - The quote “Hello babies.

"I was 23 when I first approached him about making this film," filmmaker Robert Weide says in the trailer for his IFC Films documentary Kurt Vonnegut: Unstuck in Time. "I became obsessed. What high school kid isn't going to gobble this up?" Weide continudes, holding a copy of the author's dark comic novel Breakfast of Champions, "He thinks what I think about the world." Thirty-nine years ago, Weide reached out to his literary idol proposing a documentary on Vonnegut's life and work. Shooting began in 1988 and the doc reflects the friendship and bond Weide and Vonnegut formed over the decades. "I was always filming on and off with him over the years," says Weide in the trailer. Vonnegut died on April 11, 2007. Kurt Vonnegut: Unstuck in Time dives into the author's upbringing and his creative output, spanning his childhood in Indianapolis, his experience as a prisoner of war in World War II, his marriage, family and divorce, his early careers as a publicist for General Electric and a car salesman, and his long years as a struggling writer, leading to eventual superstardom in 1969 following the publication of his lightning-bolt anti-war novel Slaughterhouse-Five (which would later be adapted into the 1972 movie from George Roy Hill). The documentary follows Weide's odyssey as he examines the impact of Vonnegut's legacy on his own life, extending far beyond the printed page. Kurt Vonnegut: Unstuck in Time was announced as part of the lineup for Doc NYC today. IFC is releasing the documentary in theaters and VOD on November 19. Weide produced and wrote Kurt Vonnegut: Unstuck in Time and he co-directed with Don Argott. Weide was nominated for a Documentary Feature Oscar in 1999 for Lenny Bruce: Swear to Tell the Truth. He would go on to win a Primetime Emmy for that docu in Non-Fiction Programming, Picture Editing, as well as two other Emmy wins for Directing in a Comedy Series (Curb Your Enthusiasm) and Outstanding Informational Special (W.C. Fields: Straight Up). He is the EP of HBO's award winning comedy series Curb Your Enthusiasm and has directed 29 episodes throughout the series' 10 seasons.

Don Argott's latest documentary, KEEP SWEET explores the leakage left behind by the self-proclaimed “Prophet of the FLDS”, Warren Jeffs and how Jeffs' demands for absolute loyalty, and the complete adherence to religion dogma, requiring strict dress codes, banishing community celebrations and casting out followers who didn't fall in line irreparably damaged the lives of so many. His controversial reign ended with a conviction for sexual assault with underage girls, landing him in jail for life. Jeffs' downfall sent shock waves throughout the community, with some continuing to pledge their loyalty to him, while others turned their backs on Jeff's and the FLDS religion altogether. Ten years after his arrest, those left behind attempt to rebuild their community. KEEP SWEET is an allegory for the unsettling reality we are living through in America. Can we learn how to live with one another despite our different ideologies, or are we destined to live apart? Director Don Argott (Art of the Steal, Kurt Vonnegut: Unstuck in Time) joins us for a conversation on his own perception of the FLDS people living in Colorado City, Arizona, Warren Jeffs pernicious impact on the lives of people who trusted him and lengths that people will go to for their beliefs.

Robert B. Weide, Bob to his friends, is a rare bird who has studied comedy and also created it, on a very high level. His documentary W.C. Fields Straight Up won an Emmy and Lenny Bruce: Swear to Tell the Truth was nominated for an Oscar. His latest documentary, Kurt Vonnegut: Unstuck in Time, is now playing in theaters and on VOD, and it was forty years in the making. Bob explains why and traces his own impressive career, highlighted by teaming with Larry David to create Curb Your Enthusiasm, which earned him a second Emmy for Best Director. He also wrote and directed a series called Mr. Sloane (starring Nick Frost and Olivia Colman) that deserves to be better known. Full disclosure: Bob is a family friend, and both Leonard and Jessie are fans of his work.

KURT VONNEGUT: UNSTUCK IN TIME is a dazzling, worthy tribute to Kurt Vonnegut and the first of its kind on Vonnegut - is a deep, immersive dive into the author's upbringing and his creative output. It spans his childhood in Indianapolis, his experience as a Prisoner of War in World War II, his marriage, family, and divorce, his early careers as a publicist for General Electric and a car salesman, and his long years as a struggling writer, leading to eventual superstardom in 1969 following the publication of his lightning-bolt anti-war novel Slaughterhouse-Five. KURT VONNEGUT: UNSTUCK IN TIME began 39 years ago when young, struggling filmmaker Robert Weide (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Lenny Bruce: Swear to Tell the Truth) wrote a letter to his literary idol proposing a documentary on Vonnegut's life and work. Shooting began in 1988 and the resulting film reflects the friendship and bond Weide and Vonnegut formed over the decades. KURT VONNEGUT: UNSTUCK IN TIME is first and foremost a biography of a beloved American author. But it also documents a filmmaker's odyssey as he examines the impact of a writer's legacy on his own life, extending far beyond the printed page. Director Robert Weide joins us for a conversation on Vonnegut's literary legacy, his family's fascinating history and the mutual respect and kindness of friendship.
