Logline: NBA All-Star Kenny Anderson is in a mid-life crisis, grappling with his identity and coming to terms with his past and he searches for relevancy in his future.
Elevator Pitch:
This is not your typical basketball documentary. Like Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” we follow Kenny as he travels back to people and places of his past witnessing him reconciling the good with the evil. What happens to a sports superstar once their talent has left them, and they are forced to confront who they will be for the rest of their lives. “Men’s courses will foreshadow certain ends,...

Today Kino Lorber releases Paul Lovelace and Jessica Wolfson’s documentary Radio Unnameable, starting with an exclusive run at Film Forum in New York City. The following interview was originally published on the eve of the film’s screening at BAMcinemaFest.
For decades, Bob Fass has been a unique voice on the airwaves of New York City’s freeform radio station Wbai with his show “Radio Unnameable.” From hosting a young Bob Dylan to organizing spontaneous youth gatherings with the Yippies, Fass has come to define an era of radio that had a profound influence on our culture. In their new documentary film Radio Unnameable, Paul Lovelace and Jessica Wolfson tell Fass’ story by utilizing a treasure trove of archival material, interviews and audio (which is constantly updated and can be sampled here). After premiering at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, Radio Unnameable screens at the BAMcinemaFest today.

Kino Lorber will distribute "Radio Unnameable," a documentary about on-air personality Bob Fass who revolutionized late night, free-form radio programming. It will premiere September 19 at the Film Forum in New York before expanding. "Radio Unnameable" first aired in 1963 on New York's Wbai and still broadcasts Thursday nights, midnight to 3am. The show became a cultural hub with guests who included Arlo Guthrie, Allen Ginsberg, Kinky Friedman, Abbie Hoffman, Bob Dylan and Carly Simon. Directed by Paul Lovelace and Jessica Wolfson, "Radio Unnameable" draws from Fass' immense archive of audio, film, photographs, and video. Said Kino Lorber CEO Richard Lorber: "New York-based Bob Fass has been a defining figure and inspiring visionary on the national media scene for half a century. We are thrilled to introduce Pauland Jessica's "Radio Unnameable" to a new media generation - they'll...

Filmmaker: Radio is such a personal experience; for many people, the magic of Bob Fass lies in the power and focus of his voice on the radio and the way in which that voice acts within their own day to day lives.

Today the full lineup for BAMCinemafest has been unveiled, including the opening and closing night films. (The initial slate of titles was announced just over a month ago.) The fest will be bookended by comedian Mike Birbiglia’s Sundance charmer Sleepwalk with Me and Rock ‘n’ Roll Exposed: The Photography of Bob Gruen, the latest doc from British musician and filmmaker Don Letts (Dancehall Queen).
The Spotlight screening is Benh Zeitlin’s Sundance Grand Prize winner Beasts of the Southern Wild, and other highlights out of the newly announced titles include the Ross brothers’ Tchoupitoulas, Cory McAbee’s Crazy and Thief and Tim Sutton’s Pavilion (all of which I’m very excited to catch up with.)
Speaking about the 2012 lineup, BAMcinématek’s program director Florence Almozini said, “I’m really excited about the fourth edition of BAMcinemaFest as it may be our best yet. I think we’re refining...

BAMcinématek has announced a first round of titles for its fourth annual BAMcinemaFest, running June 20 through July 1, and we've already placed one of them at the top of our must-see list: The Unspeakable Act, directed by frequent Notebook contributor Dan Sallitt. Here's the official synopsis: "Jackie's romantic feelings for her brother Matthew form the unlikely backdrop against which the milestones of adolescence — choosing a college, losing one's virginity — unspool in film critic Sallitt's long-awaited directorial return, an unnervingly dispassionate take on the last taboo, set in Brooklyn's Ditmas Park."
