Podcast appearances and mentions of nancy buirski

This episode celebrates the memory of filmmaker Nancy Buirski who died recently, and her latest film, "Desperate Souls, Dark CIty and the Legend of Midnight Cownoy" which has been shortlisted for an Oscar. Producers Simon Kilmurry and Susan Margolin are the guests. Also, filmmaker PJ Raval discusses his latest documentary, "Who We Become", now on Netflix.

The only movie to win an Academy Award for Best Picture with an X rating, “Midnight Cowboy” is one of those movies that once you see it, you never forget it. It broke taboos and made American movies relevant again; it both reflected the changing times and was revolutionary. And it had Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman in the indelible roles of Joe Buck and Ratso Rizzo. The late Nancy Buirski's final film, “Desperate Souls, Dark City and the Legend of Midnight Cowboy”, masterfully captures the expanding universe of “Midnight Cowboy” and the creative powerhouses who turned James Leo Herlihy's novel into legend.   Producers Simon Kilmurry and Susan Margolin join Ken on the pod to discuss “Midnight Cowboy” director John Schlesinger's vision, his influences and constraints. In what ways did a gay novelist and gay director, and a blacklisted screenwriter, infuse the film with its outsider ethos? Is/is not “Midnight Cowboy” a queer film? And how does the documentary aesthetic invigorate the movie? Simon and Susan also reflect on the legendary career of Nancy Buirski, a creative force whose life and career impacted so many in the documentary field.   “Desperate Souls, Dark City and the Legend of Midnight Cowboy” is shortlisted for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature Film.   Hidden Gems: Simon Kilmurry: “In the Shadow of Beirut” Susan Margolin: “Lovin' Stuff”   Follow: @midnight_cowboy_doc on Instagram and @SKilmurry twitter @topdocspod on Instagram and twitter   The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.

I was deeply saddened by the passing of Nancy Buirski on August 29, 2023. Nancy was an award-winning documentary filmmaker. I had the privilege of having Nancy on my show in 2020 for her documentary entitled "A Crime on the Bayou" and again this year for "Desperate Souls, Dark City and the Legend of Midnight Cowboy." I had the honor of meeting Nancy at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival this year. She will be deeply missed by the film community, but her beautiful work will live on!To honor Nancy, we are running an encore show of her interview with me about "Desperate Souls, Dark City and the Legend of Midnight Cowboy,” available to watch in select theaters and VOD."Desperate Souls, Dark City and the Legend of Midnight Cowboy" Follows the behind-the-scenes odyssey to get Midnight Cowboy (1969) produced, as well as the tumultuous era in which the movie was released and embraced. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This past week we lost a great friend of the documentary community: Nancy Buirski. In addition to making a number of exceptional films through her career, she also founded the Full Frame documentary festival. Perhaps most of all, she was a generous and thoughtful human being.

Encore! Writer & Director Nancy Buirski discusses with Jan Price her documentary, "Desperate Souls, Dark City and the Legend of Midnight Cowboy," -- available to watch in select theaters! A half-century after its release, Midnight Cowboy remains one of the most original and groundbreaking movies of the modern era. With beguiling performances from Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman as two loners who join forces out of desperation, blacklist survivor Waldo Salt's brilliant screenplay, and John Schlesinger's fearless direction, the 1969 film became the only Xrated film ever to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. Its vivid and compassionate depiction of a more realistic, unsanitized New York City and its inhabitants paved the way for a generation's worth of gritty movies with complex characters and adult themes.But this is not a documentary about the making of Midnight Cowboy: it is about the deeply gifted and flawed people behind a dark and difficult masterpiece, New York City in a troubled time of cultural ferment, and the era that made a movie and the movie that made an era. Featuring extensive archival material and compelling new interviews, director Nancy Buirski illuminates how one film captured the essence of a time and a place, reflecting a rapidly changing society with striking clarity.

Writer-Director Nancy Buirski discusses with Jan Price her new documentary, “A Crime on the Bayou.” Critics call it, “infuriating and inspiring” – Reel News Daily, and “Thoughtful and illuminating” –The Hollywood Reporter. Opening in NYC, LA and Select Theaters Nationwide June 18, 2021! ‘A Crime on the Bayou' is the story of Gary Duncan, a Black teenager from Plaquemines Parish, a swampy strip of land south of New Orleans. In 1966, Duncan tries to break up an argument between white and Black teenagers outside a newly integrated school. He gently lays his hand on a white boy's arm. The boy recoils like a snake. That night, police burst into Duncan's trailer and arrest him for assault on a minor. A young Jewish attorney, Richard Sobol, leaves his prestigious D.C. firm to volunteer in New Orleans. With his help, Duncan bravely stands up to a racist legal system powered by a white supremacist boss to challenge his unfair arrest. Their fight goes all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, and their lifelong friendship is forged.

Two documentary filmmakers visit Filmwax in this episode. Nancy Buirski makes her 3rd visit with her doc "A Crime on the Bayou" and first-time visitor Lisa Immordino Vreeland makes her first visit with the doc "Truman & Tennessee: An Intimate Conversation". Both films premiere today virtually and in select theaters nationwide.

This week on Sean at the Movies I am talking with Director Nicole Riegel about her stellar Ohio set drama, Holler starring Jessica Barden and with documentarian and director Nancy Buirski about her thrilling historical documentary A Crime on the Bayou. I adore both of these movies and it was an absolute pleasure to have the chance to speak with them and let them tell you their stories. See Holler in limited theatrical release and available for online rental from IFC Films immediately and see A Crime on the Bayou in limited theatrical release on June 18th and follow @CrimeontheBayou on Twitter for updates when the movie will be playing near you.

On this episode of The Storytelling Lab, Rain reconnects with documentary filmmaker, Nancy Buirski. Nancy is most famously known for directing "The Loving Story," and is the Founder and Director of the Full Frame Film Festival . For all you passionate filmmakers out there, this is the episode for you! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

A CRIME ON THE BAYOU is the third film in director Nancy Buirski's trilogy profiling brave individuals who fought for justice in and around the Civil Rights era, following The Loving Story and The Rape of Recy Taylor. The story begins in 1966 in Plaquemines Parish, a swampy strip of land south of New Orleans. After months of clashes, the public schools have been integrated by court order. But we are in the land of the white separatist despot, Leander Perez, who rules Plaquemines like his fiefdom, making sure that segregation sticks regardless of federal laws desegregating schools and mandating voting rights. A 19-year old Black fisherman, Gary Duncan, tries to break up a fight between white and Black teenagers outside a newly integrated school. He lays his hand on a white boy’s arm and the boy recoils, as if bitten by snake. That night, police arrest Gary Duncan for assault on a minor. With the help of a young attorney, Richard Sobol, Duncan bravely stands up to Perez. Systemic racism and pervasive anti-Semitism meet their match in decisive courtroom battles, including the U.S. Supreme Court; hate is vanquished by a powerful friendship that will last a lifetime. With the rise of white nationalism in the U.S. and abroad, there is no more important story to tell today. The roots and the mechanics of hate groups are in full display in this dramatic story of a crime on the bayou. Together this trilogy demonstrates that regular people standing up for their values are the root of human progress. Mildred Loving, Recy Taylor and Gary Duncan did not set out to change history. But they remind us that anyone can. A CRIME ON THE BAYOU Executive Producer is John Legend. Director Nancy Buirski joins us to talk about the her searing indictment of the systemic racism that is responsible for the hideously unjust incarceration of Gary Duncan and thousands of others as well as how it continues to this day.

Talking Pictures: Director Interview, The Rape of Recy Taylor Host Paul Booth interviews direcor Nancy Buriski (By Sindey Lumet) about he new film being released in L.A. and N.Y.C. Recy Taylor, a 24-year-old black mother and sharecropper, was gang raped by six white boys in 1944 Alabama. Common in Jim Crow South, few women spoke up in fear for their lives. Not Recy Taylor, who bravely identified her rapists. The NAACP sent its chief rapeinvestigator Rosa Parks, who rallied support and triggered an unprecedented outcry for justice.                                             Our film exposes a legacy of physical abuse of black women and reveals Rosa Parks' intimate role in Recy Taylor's story. An attempted rape against Parks was but one inspiration for her ongoing fight for justice for countless women like Taylor. The 1955 bus boycott was an end result, not a beginning. Theatrical opening: December 8th - LA (Laemmle Santa Monica) December 15th- NY (IFC Center)

Nancy Buirski’s most recent films, The Loving Story and The Rape of Recy Taylor educates the public about important historical events that shaped Black history. Rock The Schools executive producer, Monique Linder filling in for host Chris Stewart, talks to Ms. Buirski about how these stories are rooted deeply into education and why they must be told.

For this episode, I am joined by Nancy Buirski, Sarah Green, and Peter Saraf, who along with their fellow nominees Ged Doherty, Colin Firth, and Marc Turtletaub, were awarded the 2017 Producers Guild Stanley Kramer award for their work on Loving, an intimate portrait of Mildred and Richard Loving, the couple behind the landmark Supreme Court Case Loving v. Virginia. 

Join The Gist of Freedom as we talk to actress Winter Lee about her role in "Loving" a film which celebrates interracial love, marriage and family! WWW.blogtalkRadio.com/TheGISTofFREEDDOM.com 8pm ET RICHMOND, Va. — The story of Richard and Mildred Loving was made into a “major motion picture” it was  filmed in Central Virginia. The Lovings were an interracial Virginia couple arrested in the 1950s for violating state law that prohibited interracial marriage. The couple sued, and in 1967, their case was heard by the United States Supreme Court. The movie  stars Ruth Negga (World War Z, The Samaritan) and Joel Edgerton (The Great Gatsby, Zero Dark Thirty).  “Mildred and Richard Loving were not political activists,” producer Nancy Buirski said. “They considered themselves to be an ordinary couple who loved each other and were willing to fight for the right to live together and raise their children in peace in their home state. We are grateful for the warm welcome we have received in Virginia as we seek to do justice to the story of this courageous couple.” Buirski also produced and directed The Loving Story, a documentary that aired on HBO.

Film legend Sidney Lumet tells his own story in a never-before-seen interview shot in 2008. With candor, humor and grace, Lumet reveals what matters to him as an artist and as a human being. The documentary features clips from Lumet’s films – 44 films made in 50 years – including Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, 12 Angry Men, Network and Before the Devil Knows Your Dead. Peabody and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Nancy Buirski (Afternoon of a Faun, The Loving Story) combines these elements to create a portrait of one of the most accomplished, influential and socially conscious directors in the history of cinema. By Sidney Lumet reveals the network-film-posterspiritual and ethical lessons at the core of his work. First and foremost a storyteller, Lumet’s strongly moral tales capture the dilemmas and concerns of a society struggling with essentials: how does one behave to others and to oneself? By Sidney Lumet director and producer Nancy Buirski joins us for a lively conversation on Lumet’s complex and fascinating life, the relentless honesty of his work and the horrifying incident that impacted his perception of our collective humanity.

A conversation with director Nancy Buirski of the new documentary By Sidney Lumet.

Of all the great ballerinas, Tanaquil Le Clercq may have been the most transcendent. With a body unlike any before hers, she mesmerized viewers and choreographers alike. With her elongated, race-horse physique, she became the new prototype for the great George Balanchine. Because of her extraordinary movement and unique personality on stage, she became a muse to two of the greatest choreographers in dance, George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins. She eventually married Balanchine and Robbins created his famous version of Afternoon of a Faun for her. She had love, fame, adoration, and was the foremost dancer of her day until it suddenly all stopped at the age of 27. The ballet world has been haunted by her story ever since. Director Nancy Buirski joins us to talk about an iconic artist with an indomitable spirit.

Nancy Buirski is the Director of "Afternoon of a Faun: Tanaquil le Clercq". I should admit, I fell in love with 'Tanny' through photographs over decade ago. So, to see her move on screen truly deepened my intrigue/ crush.This is a universal story of struggle and change. I feel that her story will appeal to more than our dance community. It's beautiful. Really well done, Ms. Buirski. Thank you. Ballet Initiative Podcast RSS
