Show Notes
Joining us this week is documentarian Anuradha Rana?? Associate Professor, School of Cinematic Arts, DePaul University ? as we discuss Alexandre O. Philippe?s Memory: The Origins of Alien?and interview director Alyssa Bolsey and cinematographer Camilo Lara of Beyond the Bolex. Both films deal, albeit in very different ways, with behind-the-scenes looks at the art of filmmaking. From blood-curdling chest-bursting scenes to the perfect windup, rotating-lens-turret camera, we?ve got you covered.
