Well, that is how Charles Busch became a household name (at least in my household) for his campy portrayals of glamourous women on the verge of a nervous breakdown (to borrow a title from another queen of camp melodrama).

Three Film Portraits of Artists At FLIFF

Man Ray's Famous Photograph Wednesday, November 2----Three films showing at the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival will focus on the creative life and careers of three different artists, each in a style all its own.

Dutch Documentary To Open IDFA

One of the ways that the International Documentary Filmfestival Amsterdam (known as IDFA for short) has built strong loyalties with the local audience and visiting professionals is the platform it offers for documentary films of local filmmakers. The first such showcase will be the Opening Night Film, to screen on November 23, of 4 ELEMENTS by Jiska Rickels. The film mixes documentary technique with visual poetry, which illustrates man's battle with his environment. The film focuses on four...

The Life Of A Character Actor

Wednesday, October 25----Life can be hard for a character actor. The same ability that the actor has to totally disappear into a role is the same drawback that he has in creating a distinct personality on the stage or screen. Such are the paradoxes explored in the fascinating documentary portrait THE LIFE OF REILLY, which focuses on the long and varied career of character actor Charles Nelson Reilly. The film screens twice on Thursday (a FREE Senior Matinee at 2:00pm and an evening screening a...
