96 MINUTES, USA
DIRECTORS: FAX BAHR & GEORGE HICKENLOOPER
CAST: ELEANOR COPPOLA, FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA, JOHN MILUS, MARTIN SHEEN, DENNIS HOPPER

A documentary about the making of Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now (1979).

JODOROWSKY’S DUNE (2013)

90 MINUTES, FRANCE
DIRECTOR: FRANK PAVICH
CAST: ALEJANDRO JODOROWSKY, H.R. GIGER, NICOLAS WINDING REFN, MICHEL SEYDOUX

An account of the failure of legendary cult film director Alejandro Jodorowsky to adapt Frank Herbert’s sci-fi classic Dune (1984). The documentary is a life-affirming treatment of creativity, ambition and resilience. Guaranteed to interest fans of sci-fi, but will also thrill anyone interested in film.
