Uncle Howard

Uncle Howard (2017)

Burroughs: The Movie, il primo lungometraggio realizzato da Howard Brookner, è stato fondamentale per la rivoluzione culturale della New York dei primi anni Ottanta. Venticinque anni dopo, Brookner ha visto la sua carriera stroncata dall'Aids e suo nipote si ripropone di far scoprire i film mai visti dello zio per creare un'elegia cinematografica di colui che era il suo idolo d'infanzia.

Curiosità

Uncle Howard is a 2016 documentary film about filmmaker Howard Brookner directed by Aaron Brookner.

Production

Production of Uncle Howard began in 2012 when Aaron Brookner began to search for the missing print of the film Burroughs and Howard Brookner's wider archives. The search yielded the print of Burroughs (which, following a Kickstarter campaign, was digitally remastered and was subsequently re-released by The Criterion Collection and Janus Films), as well as a wide range of archives that reveal the story of Howard Brookner's life and work.

In February 2013 Uncle Howard (then called Smash The Control Machine) was presented in the Berlinale Talent Project Market, whereupon Jim Jarmusch was announced as executive producer. Aaron Brookner continued to shoot the project through until 2014, up until the special revival screening of Burroughs at the New York Film Festival, which united many friends and colleagues of Howard Brookner.

The film's soundtrack includes songs by Duke Ellington, Lotte Lenya, Vision Fortune, Lightspeed Champion, Josef Van Wissem, Mogwai, Younghusband, Grimm Grimm, The Pretenders and NEU!. The movie had Barry Hogan, founder of ATP, as a consultant and Frederic Schindler as music supervisor.
