Dallas International Film Festival – David Holzman's Diary
Year: 1967
Length: 74
Jim McBride’s mockumentary revolves around a young man who decides to make a film about everyday life, and discovers important lessons about himself and his own reality along the way. A precursor to the contemporary low-budget American independent film movement, the film is a detailed portrait of New York City in the summer of 1967. Made for less than $3000 over 5 days of principal photography, DAVID HOLZMAN’S DIARY manages to be twenty years ahead of its time, and perfectly of its time.
