Spielberg on Spielberg - behind the camera
Copenhagen International Film Festival will be the first festival to screen the brand-new documentary Spielberg on Spielberg, where the audience will have a unique possibility to step behind the camera with the director. _____________________________________________________

Steven Spielberg, probably the world's most commercially successful filmmaker, is given one and a half hours to pin down what has been the basis for his incredible career. He does this together with Time Magazine's film expert Richard Schickel. Spielberg is as good a commentator of his own works as he is a director. "I started making films to improve my own life, and it was only later that I realised that other people were interested in them too." Hear, hear! Spielberg is good at showing what he has learnt from his own films, and both his biggest fans and occasional admirers will end up knowing more about how Spielberg became the director he is today. For hardcore fans, there are many fascinating small details peppered between the better-known facts, and the film adds an extra dimension by showing extracts from the short films he made in his youth. |

Spielberg on Spielberg is directed by the film critic Richard Schickel, who has made numerous portraits of great filmmakers. Much like his career as a journalist and author, Schickel's career as a documentary filmmaker has focused on the world of film. Among other documentaries, he has made insightful portraits of Martin Scorsese (Scorsese on Scorsese), Chaplin (Charlie: The Life and Art of Charles Chaplin) and Woody Allen (Woody Allen: A Life in Film). |

_____________________________________________________ Spielberg on Spielberg will first be shown on Monday, 24 September at 1930 hrs in CinemaxX, and here, two dedicated fans, the film director and screenwriter Søren Frellesen and the film critic Christian Monggaard, will give a spirited introduction to the world of Steven Spielberg. The film will not be released in Danish cinemas, and will be shown the last time on Wednesday, 26 September at 1930 hrs in CinemaxX.
On the occasion of the festival premiere of the documentary, CinemaxX will also give the audience the chance to see Spielberg's controversial award-winning film München, which will be shown on Tuesday, 25 September at 1930 hrs. _____________________________________________________
Spielberg on Spielberg is a part of the series Film on Film, which gives the audience a unique chance to get behind the cameras of three international film icons. The series also includes the terrific documentary Never Apologize: A Personal Visit With Lindsay Anderson, where the actor Malcolm McDowell gives us a lively and very personal portrait of the master director Lindsay Anderson (If). Brando, the last film of the series, throws a different, and also surprising, light on one of the greatest film actors of all times, Marlon Brando. The film is shown at a special event in Cinemateket on Friday, 28 September. None of the films will be distributed in Danish cinemas. Spielberg on Spielberg and Brando are produced by TCM (Turner Classic Movies). |
