On episode 5 of the podcast season, Penny Lane discusses her new documentary film, Confessions of a Good Samaritan, about her journey to becoming an anonymous kidney donor and its emotional repercussions. While educating us on the kidney donation process and why it’s important, the film is, above all, a portrait of the filmmaker in crisis. It is equally a film about making a film about donating a kidney.

Lane uses many different techniques to get us inside her stressed and complicated brain: inviting us onto her desktop, showing us interviews with herself, documenting the donation process with cameras, and even curating archival footage and interviews to reflect the state of mind of the ‘character of Penny Lane’ as she develops through the film.

Penny Lane has been experimenting with film form throughout her career, from the archival footage film Our Nixon, to the animated documentary NUTS!, to the tongue-in-cheek look at the Satanic Temple in Hail Satan? through seemingly conventional talking head interviews, to found footage in The Pain of Others, and beyond. Lane weaves almost all of these techniques (and a few more!) into Confessions of a Good Samaritan, offering a thoughtful, educational, and funny look at the complicated feelings that come with doing good in the world.

Creative Nonfiction #4: Sam Green on live documentary and 32 Sounds

In the fourth episode of our Creative Nonfiction Film podcast season, Sam Green discusses his film 32 Sounds and the live documentary.

Episode 4: Sam Green (bottom) in his film 32 Sounds and the poster of 32 Sounds in a circle frame (top right)

On episode 4 of the creative nonfiction podcast season, Alex Heeney talks to Sam Green about 32 Sounds and his work exploring the possibilities of his work that he describes as “live documentaries”. These are part locked footage, part live performance, usually including a live band on stage performing the film’s music.

On this episode, we give some background on Sam Green’s work in live documentary, talk about how A Thousand Thoughts (2018), co-directed with Joe Bini, felt like a turning point for his work in the form, and discuss what makes 32 Sounds such a wonderful and innovative film. Finally, Alex talks to Sam Green about making 32 Sounds, and more broadly about how he thinks about live documentary and why this is a space he likes working in.

The episode features a conversation between Alex Heeney and Orla Smith about 32 Sounds and live documentary, recorded in January 2022 right after the world premiere of 32 Sounds. The interview with Sam Green was conducted via Zoom in January 2022 the day after 32 Sounds had its world (virtual) premiere at Sundance. This is an edited version of the complete conversation; the complete conversation is available on our website here.

About Sam Green’s live documentaries

Green’s first live documentary was Utopia in Four Movements (2010), which had its world premiere at Sundance 2010. He then did The Love Song of R. Buckminster Fuller (2012), which Alex Heeney saw at its world premiere in San Francisco. Director-editor Joe Bini, whom we interviewed about live documentary in our ebook Subjective realities: The art of creative nonfiction, also saw the film in SF. This led to Bini and Green collaborating on the Kronos Quartet live documentary A Thousand Thoughts (2018). 32 Sounds is Green’s first live documentary which was also designed for a home viewing experience.

About 32 Sounds, which we discuss on the podcast

On the Seventh Row podcast, Orla Smith described 32 Sounds as the “feel good film of the festival”. It’s an immersive deep-dive into how sound makes us feel and how we process sounds. It asks us to consider the sounds we encounter all the time and don’t notice, the sounds that mark our memories, and how we create sound. Its vignette structure was loosely inspired by 32 Short Films About Glenn Gould (François Girard, 1993). 32 Sounds certainly contains more than thirty-two sounds, though the selected ones are occasionally tallied for us. It is alternately lighthearted — explaining sound waves with a whoopie cushion — and deeply contemplative, as when Green dreads listening to the answering machine recordings left by his late brother.

Creative Nonfiction #3: Philippe Falardeau on Lac-Mégantic: This is Not An Accident and reinventing the true crime doc

In the third episode of our Creative Nonfiction Film podcast season, we interview Philippe Falardeau about his four-part documentary series, Lac-Mégantic: This is Not An Accident, and reinventing the true crime doc.

Episode 3: Philippe Falardeau (top right) on Lac-Mégantic: This is Not An Accident (still at bottom) and reinventing the true crime doc. In this podcast interview, Philippe Falardeau discusses his series Lac-Mégantic: This is Not An Accident

On episode 3 of the creative nonfiction podcast season, Philippe Falardeau discusses Lac-Mégantic: This is Not An Accident is a four-part documentary series about the catastrophic 2013 train disaster in Lac-Mégantic, its inevitability, the aftermath, and the government failure to change safety requirements to avoid another “accident” in future. Lac-Mégantic had its world premiere at the HotDocs Film Festival where all four episodes were screened back-to-back.

The Lac-Mégantic rail disaster was the fourth-deadliest rail accident in Canadian history (47 people died) and the deadliest involving a non-passenger train. The documentary Lac-Mégantic not only chronicles the disaster and its devastating effects on the town Lac-Mégantic, but also how blame was handled and how similar disasters continue to happen.

[fusebox_track_player url=”https://traffic.libsyn.com/seventhrow/creativenonfiction3.mp3″ image=”https://seventh-row.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Creative-Nonfiction-E3-300×300-1.png” artist=”Alex Heeney & Orla Smith” subscribe_googlepodcasts = “https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#/ps/Iyjypezrg5ewsbm2atvukjpnicm” subscribe_itunes=”https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/seventh-row-podcast/id1437069031?mt=2″ subscribe_soundcloud =”https://soundcloud.com/seventhrow” subscribe_spotify=”https://open.spotify.com/show/3yfsbjXBhHJFPdIDcCshoI” subscribe_stitcher =”https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/seventh-row-podcast?refid=stpr” subscribe_tunein=”https://tunein.com/podcasts/Arts–Culture-Podcasts/Seventh-Row-podcast-p1159237/” ]

The series reclaims the history of the Lac-Mégantic rail disaster by showing how systemic problems lead to a disaster that has been blamed on individuals. The series also reveals how appropriate safety measures have not been taken in the intervening years to prevent a similar disaster from happening (and other, smaller disasters have indeed continued to happen).

At the beginning of the episode, Alex Heeney introduces the series Lac-Mégantic, and why she thinks it’s worthy of discussion. Next, we play your Alex’s interview with Falardeau about the film. Finally, we wrap up with how the film fits into the framework for creative nonfiction that we at Seventh Row created in our ebook Subjective realities, and offer some suggestions for what to watch and listen to next.

Creative Nonfiction #2: Sophie Fiennes on Four Quartets and documenting theatre on film

In the second episode of our Creative Nonfiction Film podcast season, Sophie Fiennes discusses Four Quartets and how she approaches documenting live performance on screen.

Episode 2: Sophie Fiennes (top right) on Four Quartets (still at bottom) and documenting theatre on film.

On episode 2 of the Creative Nonfiction Podcast Season, Sophie Fiennes discusses her new documentary, Four Quartets, in which she captures the stage play directed by and starring her brother, actor Ralph Fiennes. For the production, Ralph Fiennes adapted the T.S. Eliot poem for the stage — which was never originally intended to be performed that way — and then toured this production around the UK in 2021.

Sophie Fiennes’s film of Four Quartets is neither live capture nor a full adaptation of the play. Instead, Fiennes remarkably documents the theatre production on screen, maintaining all the original lighting and blocking. Her choices of framing and camera movement really puts us in the black box theatre with Ralph Fiennes. Unlike most recorded theatre, where there is a constant sense of information loss, Sophie Fiennes gives us a sense of the theatrical space so we get a better sense of what we’re missing when we’re missing it. It’s built into Sophie Fiennes’s direction.

Sophie Fiennes discusses Ralph Fiennes’s production, the challenges of documenting the play on screen, and how working with Declan Donnellan of Cheek by Jowl just before she shot Four Quartets changed how she thinks about acting and theatre.
