Wim Wenders

Wim Wenders' newest film, DON'T COME KNOCKING marks the first collaboration of Wenders and writer Sam Shepard since PARIS, TX in 1984. A breathtakingly beautiful film about family, identity and the now civilized West, the film features Sam Shepard as the main character, Howard, a washed up Western Hero who knows only how to run away; Shepard's wife Jessica Lange plays the love he left behind; Eva Marie Saint plays his abandoned mother; and Sarah Polley and Gabriel Mann play his estranged children.

Nicole Holofcener

Nicole Holofcener's FRIENDS WITH MONEY opened Sundance this year and has its theatrical release beginning April 7th.

Simultaneously sensitive and wry, Nicole Holofcener's brand of comedy is as redeeming as it is dark, poking fun at magnificently flawed characters who endure pointed indignities that almost force us to laugh with them - as much as it may hurt.

Nicolas Rossier

Nicolas Rossier spoke to me on the 16th of December from his home in New York. Speaking to me about his film Aristide and the Endless Revolution, a film which maps the journey of Jean-Bertrand Aristide and politics in Haiti since the late 80's, we the importance of neutrality in filmmaking and the involvement of the western nations in the struggle and eventual dissolution of Haiti's young democracy.

Greg Whiteley

Greg Whiteley's film NY Doll is a sensitive portrait of the newly converted ex-base player of the infamous glam punk band The New York Dolls. Offering me as much kindness as he offered his subjects, Greg gave me a half hour of his time and from his home in Los Angeles.

The fractured state of the Middle East

Craig Phillips explores the fractured state of the Middle East as seen through the eyes of three very different 2005 films - Jarhead, Paradise Now, & Turtles Can Fly.

Todd Solondz

His first widely released film, Welcome to the Dollhouse, [Fear, Anxiety & Depression was his first feature] remains the favorite of many of his fans, for its spot-on portrayal of suburban junior high school hell, and, while he tries to never look back to his previous work, he also can't quite let go of some of Dollhouse's characters in his new film, Palindromes.
