Getting Real Conference of the International Documentary Association
Keith Wilson, opening presentation at the Getting Real Conference of the International Documentary Association, Los Angeles, April 15.
Description: In 2017, filmmaker and producer Keith Wilson (Joonam, I Didn't See You There, Interior. Leather Bar.) began a feature documentary about Frank Moore, the controversial Berkeley-based performance artist, public access TV host, shaman, and commune leader. Over the course of an hour, Wilson weaved together the biographical details of Frank Moore’s life, art, disability, and communal family with Wilson’s professional and personal journey as a queer documentary filmmaker as images and videos play on the screen behind Wilson in a humorous, self-deprecating fashion. Getting Real '24 uproariously kicks off with this performance, which is particularly pertinent as a critical examination of film industry practices, including an unforgettable roast of the “core application.”
