Synopsis

Dry Wood

Featuring the stories and music of seminal Cajun musicians "Bois Sec" Ardoin and Canray Fontenot, Dry Wood is a short, vibrant documentary portrait of life, food, music and festivity in the Louisiana Delta from the singular Les Blank. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 1999.

The Donn of Tiki

Donn Beach spent years embellishing the details of his extraordinary life. This documentary attempts to separate fact from fabrication with the help of the people who knew him, historians, and recently resurfaced audio recordings of Donn himself, as we explore the legacy Donn left behind.
