Sam Cullman – Co-director – Art and Craft.

FRED’s Matt Micucci meets Sam Cullman, co-director of “Art and Craft”, shown at IDFA 2014. Sam talks to us about the central subject of the art forger, getting to know him quite well and understanding his nature as well as the reaction he got from museums when he told them he would be making a film about him.

“Art and Craft” is a fascinating portrait of a schizophrenic who got away with donating forged artworks to museums for 30 years.

Elvira Nana Lind – Filmmaker – Songs for Alexis.

Matt Micucci interviews filmmaker Elvira Nana Lind, whose film “Songs for Alexis” was shown at IDFA 2014. She tells us about how she met the central subject of the documentary Ryan Cassata, how this is as much a universal story about being a teenager as it is about the LGBT community and how this film has inspired people who have seen it so far.

“Songs for Alexis” is an endearing coming-of-age story about a teenage transgender guitarist named Ryan and his girlfriend and muse Alexis. This is a film about love, identity and perseverance.
