A one-of-a-kind movie you can see at the Denver Film Festival tonight.
Reid Davenport scored the best director award in the documentary category at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year for, and Matt Campbell understands why. Davenport"is wheelchair-bound and has other physical disabilities involving motor function and speech, and the film is about his own personal journey as a disabled filmmaker — but also about a lot more."
Campbell explains the premise like so:"He's living in Oakland, and outside his apartment, a tent for a circus is erected — and while they're building the tent, he narrates the history of circuses. But it's also a meditative story of his own personal experiences with being ostracized as a disabled person in this country that echoes circus freak shows. He puts differently abled people in that context, which is really fascinating.
Just as intriguing from Campbell's perspective are the film's visuals."He's his own cinematographer, and the camera is fixed to his wheelchair, so you see a lot of almost avant-garde, poetic landscapes as the camera is fixed on the street and the sidewalk. There's a Stan Brakhage-esque sense at times, where the viewer gets a chance to focus on what most of us may not even notice on a day-to-day basis.
