Ross McElwee, one of America's most revered nonfiction filmmakers, has released the trailer for Remake. According to Deadline, the documentary won the Golden Globes Prize for documentary at the Venice Film Festival.
After more than four decades of making autobiographical films, McElwee examines the complicated relationship between a father and son. The film explores what he describes as an "uneasy space between documenting life and understanding it."
The trailer offers a glimpse into McElwee's approach. This is not a typical documentary but a personal story that only a filmmaker who has spent 40 years mining his own life could tell.
The film marks another milestone in McElwee's career. Having spent decades exploring his own existence through documentary, Remake engages directly with the relationship that shaped him.
Distributed by Music Box Films, Remake is generating attention in the documentary world. Critics and festival-goers describe it as one of McElwee's most affecting works.
McElwee is not interested in spectacle or easy answers. Remake pursues truth, messy and complicated as it is.
