docu What the "Up" series of documentaries tells us about stages of life By feeds.scpr.org Published On :: Fri, 18 Jan 2013 14:42:57 -0800 Director Michael Apted (L) with Larry Mantle in the AirTalk studio. Larry MantleThis past Wednesday on "AirTalk," film director Michael Apted came in to talk with us about his eighth documentary in the series that's followed the lives of 13 people, beginning in 1964 when the kids were seven. They've shared their stories with Apted every seven years, and he's clearly invested a lot of emotion into this project. "56 Up" is wonderful for how it shows the mid-life evolution of the participants. Apted includes scenes from earlier interviews, so that we see what aspects of today's 56-year-olds were present in childhood and what turns their lives have made over these years. "56 Up" is showing at the Nuart in West Los Angeles, and Apted will be doing Q-and-A at some of the screenings. This content is from Southern California Public Radio.

docu New Documentary Explores History, Legacy Of Iconic LGBTQ Bookstore ‘Circus Of Books’ Through The Owners’ Daughter’s Eyes By feeds.scpr.org Published On :: Fri, 24 Apr 2020 09:06:11 -0700 Circus of Books storefront.; Credit: Netflix/Circus Of Books (2020) Sabrina Fang | FilmWeek®Rachel Mason had, to a certain extent, the normal upbringing you’d imagine a family of five with small business owner parents would have. But in her documentary, ‘Circus of Books’, she pulls the curtain on the double-life her parents led as modest business owners and pillars of the LGBTQ community. Karen and Barry Mason established West Hollywood’s Circus of Books on Santa Monica Boulevard in the 1980s. What seemed like an unassuming bookstore was actually a gay porn shop that became an institution in the LGBTQ community during a time when homosexuality was still largely unaccepted. The store was far from being a “bookstore with a circus theme”. The Los Angeles-based shop was the central hub for gay pornography around the country, once one of the main distributors for adult films. While the store was becoming a home for gay culture and pride, the Masons largely kept their business a secret from colleagues, friends, family, even their own children. It’s a central conflict that Rachel Mason explores throughout the film as the daughter of two shop owners caught between the pressures of maintaining a traditional family image and making a living as gay pornography distributors. Today on FilmWeek, we’re joined by ‘Circus of Books’ director Rachel Mason for a conversation on her documentary and the experience of creating a film with her parents and their secret as the subject. ‘Circus Of Books’ is currently streaming on Netflix. For more on the film from LAist’s Mike Roe, click here.

docu Director Of New Documentary ‘Spaceship Earth’ Explores Quarantining In The Name Of Science By feeds.scpr.org Published On :: Fri, 08 May 2020 09:04:37 -0700 A still from "Spaceship Earth".; Credit: Neon/"Spaceship Earth" (2020) FilmWeek®Two months is a long time to be quarantined in one place. Just ask, well, pretty much anyone in the era of COVID-19. But imagine if you were quarantined for two years instead of two months, all in the name of science, and it was by choice! In 1991, eight researchers did exactly that in Oracle, Arizona as part of a first-of-its-kind mission called BIOSPHERE 2. No, there was no failed BIOSPHERE 1 mission -- BIOSPHERE 1 is planet Earth. The mission’s goal was to create a living ecosystem inside a massive glass and steel facility to show that human life could be sustained in outer space. The idea was that whenever humanity finally did gain the ability to travel deeper into space and colonize another planet, a biosphere would need to be built first so that life could be sustained. But what started as a science experiment quickly evolved into a cultural phenomenon, and while some watched with bated breath to see whether the researchers could really create a living ecosystem in a controlled environment, others saw the project and those who were involved as a cult of sorts. Director Matt Wolf explores BIOSPHERE 2 the researchers (“biospherians”) who carried the mission out, what ultimately happened and the good and bad ways in which it became a cultural phenomenon. Today on FilmWeek, “The Frame” host John Horn talks with Wolf about the making of the film and what can be learned from the biospherians about our current situation staying at home because of COVID-19.
