Rita Dove: An American Poet
Rita Dove: An American Poet (2014)
, 50minutes
Directed by Eduardo Montes-Bradley

Genres Documentary
Themes Films about writers

The film is made of a series of in-depth, on-camera interviews with Poet Laureate Rita Dove—conducted and recorded between September 2012 and October 2013. These interviews were edited with hundreds of still images and several hours of home movies from the Dove family's collection. The intimacy of the dialogue between Rita Dove and Montes-Bradley's camera provide a rare personal insight into the wide range of Dove's artistic passions. Most of these images are the results of the efforts of Rita Dove's father (Ray A. Dove) to record family life in the 1950s and 1960s. Mr. Ray Dove recorded in 8mm and Super 8mm birthdays, the opening of gifts on Christmas Day year after year, holidays and family excursions. According to the filmmaker, "Rita's father is omnipresent and perhaps the silent protagonist of the film as he captured images of Rita which have become fundamental clues to the evolution of the suburban middle class African American child into the celebrated poet we know and recognize.
Stay More: The World of Donald Harington
Stay More: The World of Donald Harington (2013)

Themes Films about writers, Documentaire sur une personnalité

In this documentary, Donald Harington defines the background of Stay More, the fictional Ozark village where Harington’s novels are based. Harington shares his childhood memories of the small town of Drakes Creek (the town that was the model for Stay More) and looked back on his uneasy relationships with his parents and the upsetting loss of his hearing at the age of 12. Likewise, Harington reflects the dubious delights of getting his initial novels into print, with their sales on no occasion matching the favorable notices, blending these stories with the humorous perceptions on the writer's life (particularly the writerly penchant for liquor, religion, and sex). What came of this is a bittersweet portrait of an inspired but haunted artist, a writer genuinely rooted in American folk traditions whose triumphs seemed always to be matched by deep disappointments, a novelist who not only blends comic relief into his tragedies but poignant 'tragic relief' into his comedies.
