Nice, will check out. It made me remember of one that I don't think I talked about:
SODOM - LORDS OF DEPRAVITY - 3 hour doc about the band. Good if not great, let's say it's not as good as the Cannibal Corpse one but it is still enjoyable.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVQm4rwpOAI20 YEARS OBSCENE EXTREME FESTIVAL ANNIVERSARY - Calling it a documentary is very misleading, it is just a report from the 20th OE and quite a shallow one with random interviews of people in the audience and bands. It does give you some of the Festival vibe and the people are usually funny and nice but the lack of focus and more depth makes it a little lackluster... You see people talking about Napalm Death and Gutalax for example, but then the bands interviewed are Brainwash (ITA) and Asphyx. I mean, they are ok and cool interviews but it makes no sense, there's not much said about the origins of the festival itself and so on. But it's cool to watch if you just take it as less than a documentary, some very funny moments.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j42syfSnsToMURAL - JACKSON POLLOCK - A short (40 minutes) doc about the painting of "Mural" and it's restoration. Half of it is interesting and half quite "meh", not essential and has the usual "art world" affectations.
THE REALMS OF THE UNREAL - A very well made doc about Henry Darger (from wikipedia: "He has become famous for his posthumously discovered 15,145-page, single-spaced fantasy manuscript called The Story of the Vivian Girls, in What Is Known as the Realms of the Unreal, of the Glandeco-Angelinian War Storm, Caused by the Child Slave Rebellion, along with several hundred drawings and watercolor paintings illustrating the story").
I was really interested in the subject, the director Jessica Yu handles it very nicely and there are tons of info and visuals of his art so I can't really explain why it felt to me as the more it progressed the less I was interested in it all. Maybe explaining too much and giving too much context expoiled the "magic" for me, that "air of mistery" that perhaps gives a lot of wheight to outsider art goes away when you can join the pieces and see how much he was influenced by this or that. But that may be a personal problem for me, I do recommend this documentary to all those interested in outsider/non conventional/weird art (and artists). I know some people will have a kick out of it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRlvDKcDvsITURNING THE ART WORLD INSIDE OUT - This doc actually lead me to watch the one about Hnery Darger ("
hosted by Alan Yentob, published by BBC broadcasted as part of BBC Imagine series in 2013"). It shows many different artists and the only problem is that I wanted to know more about some of them... But then again, I got more of Henry Darger and it actually didn't worked that much for me so I must be careful with what I wish for.
The darger one is better made and all but I recommend this one higher personally.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98RUUhVgLR0Oh, just saw this one is on youtube:
Lovecraft: Fear of the Unknown. I saw it last year on a Lovecraft inspired movies DVD box and it is very cool ("
LOVECRAFT: FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN is a chronicle of the life, work and mind that created these weird tales as told by many of today's luminaries of dark fantasy including John Carpenter, Guillermo Del Toro, Neil Gaiman, Stuart Gordon , Caitlin Kiernan, and Peter Straub").
