Hope it will be documented. Would love to listen to this. (I once sat next to Bertrand Tavernier on a train from Saint-Malo to Paris. He told me it was Dexter’s way of walking that was the decisive reason he chose him to play Dale in 'Round Midnight.)

Today I participated in my first online Q&A session. Thank you streaming platform Galerie & the persons asking questions. A challenge, but fun, to try remember details about the Lee & Helen Morgan doc when deep into new film projects. Galerie’s sessions will be archived & can be accessed later on.

Oscar winner Bryan Fogel (Icarus) selected my doc I Called Him Morgan as one of his 10 favorite films for film club Galerie. Tomorrow I participate in an online Q&A abt the 7 yrs making of it. www.galerie.com/watch-party/... 🎟 Promo Code: FILMCLUB (First month free + 50% off the next three months)

One of the best films of 2024 (and 2023).

Fingers crossed. Long overdue.

On this day 20 years ago my feature documentary My Name Is Albert Ayler premiered at Göteborg International Film Festival. If all goes well a restored and properly upscaled version will be rereleased later this year.

One of my favorite books about 1960s New York art, jazz and avantgarde jazz scene. Hettie Jones was Leroi Jones’ wife until he decided he couldn’t have a non-black wife anymore and became Amiri Baraka. Glad to see this posted by @helenbarrett.bsky.social in relation to the new Dylan biopic.

Lyckat längre zoom-möte med amerikansk holllywoodstjärna hemma i Majorna igår. Känslan är att det här filmprojektet utvecklas åt rätt håll. Unnat mig en extra lång promenad idag.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Alla borde ägna en dag per år åt att se Shoah, Claude Lanzmanns 9 timmar långa dokumentära mästerverk om förintelsen. Idag på förintelsens minnesdag hade varit ett bra tillfälle, men filmen finns inte tillgänglig att se på en enda svensk streamingtjänst. Hur är det möjligt?

This is true. It is a magical little book.

I really enjoyed SLY LIVES! www.vulture.com/article/sly-...

Roligt möte med Ronny Svensson i morse och han bjöd på en god semla. Fick sen en biljett av en snäll filmproducent till invigningen av Göteborgs Filmfestival. På vägen hem hittade jag en bok på Majornas bibliotek som jag längtat efter att läsa och blir att jag stannar hemma med den ikväll istället.

Real proud to have worked with Bradford Young on I Called Him Morgan. Such a genius. Real sad stat this though. Jomo Fray’s extraordinary cinematography work on Nickel Boys should have been Oscar nominated yesterday.

Wow

Great text on one of my all-time favorite albums. I once had a long phone conversation with Annette Peacock (2002 I think) when making my Albert Ayler documentary, talking about when she followed Gary Peacock, Don Cherry and Sunny Murray on Albert’s 1964 European tour.

No Academy Awards nomination to Hard Truths. If it is one film the world needs right now, this is the one.
