Film Title: Strange Culture (Trailer) Director: Lynn Hershman-Leeson Genre: trailer of a documentary (StudentFilmmakers Magazine June 2007 Filmmaker Spotlight) Lynn Hershman-Leeson's new film, Strange Culture, is about artist and professor Steve Kurtz, who was held as a suspected terrorist by the U.S. government after "suspicious" art supplies were found in his home. Because Kurtz cannot legally talk about the case, the unconventional documentary uses actors (Tilda Swinton, Peter Coyote, Thomas Jay Ryan, and Josh Kornbluth) to interpret the story, as well as dramatic reenactment, news footage, animation, testimonials, and footage of Kurtz himself. Strange Culture was filmed in about four days, shot with the Panasonic AG-DVX100, and edited for about five months on Final Cut. Completed and released in January 2007, Strange Culture premiered at Sundance, made its rounds in the film festival circuit, and will continue to screen this summer and fall at Lincoln Center and at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
