Synopsis

Hopper/Welles

A restored 1970 cinéma vérité conversation between Orson Welles and Dennis Hopper, filmed during the production of "The Other Side of the Wind" and released in 2020 as a standalone documentary capturing their wide-ranging dialogue on cinema, politics, art, and fame in the early New Hollywood era.

Wonders of the Sea

The ocean depths are explored with the aid of a submarine chamber of Williamson's invention and a few hardy souls. The construction of the device is examined; but most of the footage is given to plant and animal life, a girl swimming among the coral growths, and two divers who encounter a moray and an octopus.
