ACMI Summer Documentary Program
Switch from blockbusters to documentaries as summer comes to a close.
Overview
Get your fix of non-fiction filmmaking at ACMI this February. As summer comes to a close, the Fed Square cinema will showcase a trio of critically acclaimed documentary films that pose bold questions about our relationship with art and technology.
Screening from February 11-27, Goodnight Brooklyn – The Story of Death by Audio chronicles the nine-year history of the eponymous New York music venue, as director Matt Conboy combines concert footage with interviews featuring indie music legends.
In a one-week-only engagement from February 15-22, Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World sees master filmmaker Werner Herzog — a man who, by is own admission, doesn't even own a mobile phone — explore the weird and wonderful world of the internet. Funny and moving, it's a must-see for fans of Herzog's unique and esoteric style.
Rounding out the season, from February 23-March 15, Cameraperson offers an intimate look at the work of acclaimed documentary cinematographer Kirsten Johnson, whose 25 year career has taken her all around the world.
