Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host Nicolas Rapold. This week we begin with some films from the cult label Something Weird Video: the revenge drama Johnny Firecloud, and a couple of films from the one and only Doris Wishman. My adventurous guest is Adam Piron, Los Angeles-based programmer for the Sundance Film Festival where he's associate director of the indigenous program. Other movies discussed: Straight Time; Bless Their Little Hearts; The Exiles; and the silent movie The Daughter of Dawn, which led Adam to an incredible personal discovery. Adam is also a member of the Cousin collective, which supports indigenous artists and has a program featured in this year’s Documentary Fortnight at MoMA.
