dir. Alexander Olch, US, 2008, video, 82 mins, color

Dusty boxes of film, 200 hours of footage, a broken editing computer: these were the parts of filmmaker Richard P Rogers’ daring attempt to make his own autobiography. He died in 2000, leaving behind a lifetime of filmed memories. Working with Wallace Shawn, Bob Balaban and acclaimed photographer Susan Meiselas (Richard’s wife), student and protege Alexander Olch began to make an impossible film out of the pieces. An autobiography that isn’t; a documentary which is fiction; a lifetime of questions, finally answered.
