Directors breaking the boundaries of film and video are the focus of this illuminating six-week showcase of established and emerging talents. From avant-garde innovators who transformed film history, such as Kenneth Anger, to the visionaries of today, each of the artists presented in this series challenges conventions—from an exhilarating real-time portrait of soccer superstar Zinedine Zidane to a raw narrative documentary capturing life in post-Katrina Louisiana to a contemporary masterpiece by the Quay Brothers. Expanding the Frame concludes with visits by four European filmmakers—movie archaeologists, demolition experts, visual poets—who discuss their extreme approaches and revolutionary techniques.
