Director Sara Driver refined her craft during New York's indie filmmaker boom in the late 1970s-1990s. Her directorial debut came in 1981 with You are Not I, a film about a young woman who escapes a mental institution during the chaos of a pileup. We revisit our conversation with Driver from 2018 where she discussed her docmentary, Boom For Real. It tells the story of a young Jean-Michel Basquiat and the New York arts community around him. Sara currently appears in Jim Jarmusch's latest zombie flick, The Dead Don't Die.
Panique à Centerville ! La Terre est désaxée, les morts sont déterrés, la population est désarmée. Seul un trio de policiers de bourgade, mené tambour battant par Bill Murray, Adam Driver et Chloé Sevigny va tenter de résoudre le mystère et de mettre fin à l'apocalypse zombie. Un pur produit de série Z, nous direz-vous ? Pas loin, sauf que derrière la caméra, c'est Jim Jarmusch. Et Jim Jarmusch, le décalé, le poète, on le connaît pour son cinéma détaché de toute convention, ses rythmes lents et contemplatifs qui transforment ses dialogues en sonnets lyriques. Un cinéma qui divise, destiné aux avertis, mais qui ici semble, avec les codes de la comédie horrifique, vouloir se rallier à une approche plus "grand public". Il n'y a qu'à voir le casting, composé de ces ténors du film de genre souvent absent du Grand écran (Steve Buscemi, Rosie Perez, Danny Glover pour ne citer qu'eux) pour voir que les moyens sont là. Jarmusch a-t-il déterré ces monstres du cinéma "bis" pour offrir un spectacle jouissif de cynisme et de satire ? Mérite-t-il sa place en ouverture et en compétition aux bacchanales cannoises ? Réponse dans le nouvel épisode ! The Dead Don’t Die (2019) De Jim Jarmusch avec Bill Murray, Adam Driver , Tilda Swinton , Chloë Sevigny , Steve Buscemi , Danny Glover, Caleb Landry Jones, Rosie Perez , Iggy Pop, Sara Driver, RZA, Carol Kane, Selena Gomez, Tom Waits… Émission animée par Thomas Bondon, Thierry De Pinsun et Alex.

Talking Basquiat the Teenage YearsThe great iconic artist Jean-Michel Basquiat is remembered by his friends who knew him when, as a teenager, he first burst upon the Downtown New York scene as Samo and began to make the artworks that sell for millions of dollars today. Sara Driver’s movie Boom for Real is the jumping off point for a conversation about Basquiat and New York in the 80s with “Beginnings” host and Paper magazine founder David Hershkovits, Driver, Alexis Adler, Felice Rosser and Lee Quinones. This talk was Howl! Happening's key exhibition event for "Zeitgeist: The Art Scene of Teenage Basquiat" a lively discussion about the times and artists in the exhibition. First-hand, and up close and personal, our panel of artists was in the midst of the development of a scene that has produced some of the most influential creators of our time. These artists present an unvarnished “realness” characteristic of the times—intersecting with the public’s avid interest it has pushed whole new generations to appreciate (and long for) that lost, raw and anarchically free era.Artwork: Fight Tyranny In All Forms by Walter RobinsonSupport the show (https://squareup.com/store/howl-arts-inc)
BOOM! It's Sara Driver, longtime partner and collaborator of the one and only master of indie films, Jim Jarmusch. Driver is also a filmmaker in her own right, having made a handful of movies back in the day and her recent documentary Boom For Real: The Late Teenage Years of Jean-Michel Basquiat. Driver was a close friend of Basquiat's, and her intimate portrait of the late artist is quite the quite-the! And speaking of, we have quite the quite-the episode here: Driver explains where Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon and she used to see people get mugged ... in the same spot where now there's a Damien Hirst gallery that you can't even get into if you're not dressed right! We talk about how the "nerdy" weirdos of those days grew up to create a lot of what became No Wave and the Cinema of Transgression .. before there would eventually be such a thing as the "indie" movie scene ... and why the hell we should care on a podcast like this.

Fans of Bob's Burgers, Archer, Home Movies and Dr. Katz, rejoice! Jesse's talking with the incomparable H. Jon Benjamin this week. With lead roles in some of the most popular comedies of all time, it's hard to call Jon a failure. But he doesn't really mind the label. In fact, he just wrote a book called "Failure is an Option: An Attempted Memoir." In it, he recounts his shortcomings in excruciating detail and how, wouldn't you know it, a lot of those failures opened the door to success: failures in family, in work, in serving fajitas. It's a very self-deprecating, self-aware memoir. And since it's written by H. Jon Benjamin, it's also really, really funny. Then, a talk about the gritty golden days of the New York City art scene with filmmaker Sara Driver. Driver just made a new documentary - it's called "Boom For Real: The Late Teenage Years of Jean-Michel Basquiat." It's a story about one of the most celebrated artists of the 20th century and the art community he came up in. Driver lived in that same community and talked with dozens of other people from New York's art scene to tell a totally unique, hypnotizing story. Finally: the outshot is a little different this week. But it won't leave you hungry!
Conveying Basquiat’s personal magnetism, eccentricity and non-stop creativity without romanticizing him, BOOM FOR REAL: THE LATE TEENAGE YEARS OF JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT serves as another chapter in the ongoing effort to rescue the artist from his own hype. To tell this story, Driver, who was part of the New York arts scene herself, worked closely and collaboratively with friends and other artists who emerged from that period. Drawing upon their memories and anecdotes, the film also uses period film footage, music and images to visually evoke the era, drawing a portrait of Jean-Michel and Downtown New York City-pre AIDS, President Reagan, the real estate and art booms – before anyone was motivated by money and ambition. BOOM FOR REAL: THE LATE TEENAGE YEARS OF JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT follows Basquiat's life pre-fame and how New York City, the times, the people and the movements surrounding him formed the artist he became. Using never-before-seen works, writings and photographs, director Sara Driver worked closely and collaboratively with friends and other artists who emerged from that period: Jim Jarmusch, James Nares, Fab Five Freddy, Glenn O’Brien, Kenny Scharf, Lee Quinones, Patricia Field, Luc Sante and many others. Sara Driver made her directorial debut with the short film YOU ARE NOT I in 1981, which she adapted from the 1948 Paul Bowles short story of the same name. The film, named as one of the best movies of the 1980s in a Cahiers du Cinéma critics’ poll, was lost for many years until its rediscovery in 2008 among Bowles’ belongings in Tangier. Director Sara Driver joins us for engaging conversation with one of the late-twentieth century’s brightest and innovative artist.
In our report from Miami Art Week 2017, Tanja Hollander, Nancy Davidson, Tania El Khoury, Sara Driver and Amy Sherald talk about the roles that social media art, inflatable sculpture, interactive performance, documentary film and figurative painting played during Miami Art Week and Art Basel 2017. Tanja Hollander is an artist who lives and works in Auburn, Maine. No need for a ticket to an art fair or a museum to experience her social media project Are You Really My Friend? during Art Week. You could participate by visiting a small pavilion inside the Botanical Garden on Miami Beach. The vast archive of the project is currently on view in its entirety at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. For the multi-media installation Per Sway that she presents at Locust Projects in Miami, Nancy Davidson created inflatable symbols of power and control that mirror the bizarre and horrifying political climate in the world today. Based in New York, Davidson is an interdisciplinary artist known for anthropomorphic weather balloon sculptures that explore the architecture of the body. Miami Dade College Live Arts program invited artist Tania El Khoury to share a dozen haunting stories from the Middle East. Based in London and Beirut, Tania choreographed two intimate interactive performances for venues on Miami Beach. As Far As My Fingertips Take Me is a one-on-one encounter inside a small room at the New World Center. Gardens Speak is a theatrical experience for groups of ten at the Fillmore Theater. New York based filmmaker Sara Driver takes us back to a seminal time in New York City history with her new documentary Boom for Real: The Late Teenage Years of Jean-Michel Basquiat. Sara was part of the independent film scene in lower Manhattan from the late 1970s through the 1990s. Besides making her own feature films, she’s recognized for producing early film projects by her partner Jim Jarmusch. After screenings at the 2017 Toronto and New York festivals, Magnolia Pictures plans the film's release in theaters for 2018. Joining us Live on UNTITLED Radio, Baltimore based painter Amy Sherald talks about her work and the impact of recent art news. This year, her figurative paintings came to the world’s attention and doubled in value when the National Portrait Gallery commissioned Sherald to paint the portrait of First Lady Michelle Obama. Our conversation leads to Naima Green's writing on the subject in the New York Times.

Hello and welcome to the Art Smitten guide to the Melbourne International Film Festival. My name's Ben and I love films a bit too much. If you didn't know, the end of next week is the beginning of over two weeks of the Melbourne International Film Festival – or MIFF – as it takes over many of the screens in the city, and pushes film to the forefront of Melbourne's minds. There’s such a wide array of films in this year’s festival, so there’s bound to be something for everyone. Unless, of course, you just really hate films. Then I probably can’t help you. Personally, as I said, I love films, and I'm going to be seeing quite a few of them at the festival. But rather than giving you my picks of the festival, I thought I’d share a few tips on how to navigate the whole thing. Firstly, choosing films. A good way to start off is with people you know. This is probably the easiest way to find something you’ll enjoy. If you’ve liked a film directed by someone or starring someone, chances are you’ll like their latest one. And there’s plenty of recognisable names in this year’s festival, like directors Kelly Reichardt and Pedro Almodóvar - Tom Hanks even pops up and there's not one but two films starring Kristen Stewart - so hopefully there’s someone there whose films you’re already familiar with and can go watch. Or: take a stab in the dark! Film festivals are notorious for including an eclectic array of films, to say the least. Pick something or someone you’ve never heard of and just go watch it. You may be surprised. Or if you’re not that adventurous, at least read about a bunch of films you have no idea about and see what takes your fancy. Who knows, that might just become your next favourite filmmaker. Don’t forget retrospectives. Film festivals are not just about showcasing new films, they’re also about celebrating the past. Most film festivals have a couple of themed retrospective sections, and this year MIFF have included four separate retrospective streams, including one celebrating Jerry Lewis who turned 90 this year and one entirely devoted to female directors from New York like Elaine May or Sara Driver. You could almost go the entire film festival watching films from these retrospectives. Also, check cinemas to see what’s coming soon. For example, High-Rise, Captain Fantastic and Girl Asleep, three popular titles at the festival, are all being released fairly shortly after the festival ends anyway, so unless you’re absolutely dying to see them I’d recommend holding off and going to see something that might not have a wider release. Hopefully by this stage you’ll have a fairly decent idea of what it is you want to watch at the festival. But remember, book early! This is Melbourne, city of culture. Cinephiles are racing to secure tickets to their chosen films. Some sessions are already sold out and even more are selling fast! So be quick if you don’t want to miss out. Once you’ve got your tickets and have put all the dates and times in your calendar, you’re ready to get to the films themselves. Don’t be afraid to go alone, either. This goes for the rest of the year too but there’s nothing wrong with going to the cinema alone. Especially if all your friends take ages to agree to go with you. Just book the ticket and go for it. Remember to get there early and get used to queuing! There’s going to be lots of waiting around but I prefer that to arriving just on time and worrying that I won’t get a good seat. You can always talk to people, anyway. Generally, film festival audiences are friendly and eager to chat about what they’re seeing during the festival or what they’ve just seen. Strike up a conversation in the queue or even once you’re seated. Chances are the other person will be more than happy to talk and you might even make some new friends. Just remember to stop talking once the film itself has begun! Also, turn your phone off. But my number one tip is: enjoy yourself. It’s really a fun time of the year and I hope this guide can help you make the most of it. So if you only go and see one film or if like me you’re seeing over fifty films, enjoy the festival. See you there!Written by Ben VolchokSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
