Swedish director Göran Hugo Olsson is directing project with Sfi backing.
Göran Hugo Olsson (The Black Power Mixtape) is working on feature documentary That Summer, which will include long-lost archive footage of the stars of the Maysles brothers’ 1975 doc Grey Gardens,
Olsson is reviving a project first initiated by artist Peter Beard, which chronicles his family of friends and creative collaborators in Montauk, Long Island in the 1970s.
Beard set up the project with Lee Radziwill, a relative of eccentric duo Edith Ewing Bouvier Beale (Big Edie) and Edith Bouvier Beale (Little Eddie), who were depicted in Grey Gardens and its 2006 follow-up The Beales Of Grey Gardens, which featured previously unused footage shot by the Maysles.
Andy Warhol also features in That Summer, and shot some of the newly-unearthed footage, as did director Jonas Mekas, with additional cinematography by Albert Maysles and Vincent Fremont.

Piff 39: Five Films Criterion Collection Fans Should See at the Portland International Film Festival
Tomorrow night, the Northwest Film Center kicks off their 39th annual Portland International Film Festival. They’ll be screening Klaus Härö’s The Fencer as the opening night film (unfortunately the screenings are sold out, but there will be an additional showing on Sunday the 14th). Over the course of the next sixteen days there will be over 90 feature films shown around town at various theaters.
This is one of my favorite festivals that I’ve had the privilege of attending, and I cannot wait to see a some of the films that they have programmed.
As usual, we here at the site will be covering a number of the films throughout the festival, but I wanted to make sure that any local Criterion Collection fans were alerted to some of the treats that we have in store. While there are many films at the festival that will align with...

Do you think Albert and David Maysles knew they were creating not just a documentary but launching cultural icons when they filmed the mesmerizing “Grey Gardens,” now available in a Criterion Blu-ray edition? The film about “Little Edie” and “Big Edie,” relatives of American royalty in Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, became a cult phenomenon, inspiring a follow-up (which is included in this release), an award-winning fictionalized version of their story with Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange, and even a full-length musical.
Rating: 4.5/5.0
What is it about the Beales that fascinates us? It is a special kind of crazy that can be embraced this thoroughly and Little Edie & Big Edie were certainly unique characters, two self-obsessed socialites living in a dilapidated mansion in the Hamptons. Their lives, as brilliantly captured in “Grey Gardens” seemed so unique and so perfectly Hollywood and yet tragic at the same time. The genius of the Maysles was not to intrude,...

The lives of Big Edie (top) and Little Edie Beale are revealed in Grey Gardens.
Meet Big and Little Edie Beale: mother and daughter, high-society dropouts, and reclusive cousins of Jackie Onassis, in the 1976 documentary Grey Gardens.
The two “Edie Gals” manage to thrive together amid the decay and disorder of their East Hampton, New York, mansion, making for an eerily ramshackle echo of the American Camelot.
A remarkably intimate portrait, this movie by Albert and David Maysles (Salesman)—co-directed by Ellen Hovde and Muffie Meyer—quickly became a cult classic and established Little Edie as a fashion icon and philosopher queen.
This special edition also features the 2006 follow-up to the film, The Beales of Grey Gardens, constructed from hours of extra footage in the filmmakers’ vaults.
Here’s a complete breakdown of the disc’s features:

As noted last week, with support from the 4+1 Film Festival, we're celebrating the 50th anniversary of Critics' Week with a free retrospective of some of the greatest films screened over the past 50 editions. What follows is a roundup of what the critics are saying about the films screening this year.
"Jonathan Caouette's film Tarnation — created for $300 (£185) on his iMac out of old Super 8 videos and family photos — created a stir at Cannes in 2004 for its original visual language," begins Charlotte Higgins in the Guardian. "In his latest he returns to Tarnation's material: his rich but intensely difficult family life. At the heart of Walk Away Renée is a road trip he takes with his mother, Renée, from Houston to New York State, as he helps her transfer from one assisted-living facility to another. Renée, who received electric shock therapy from the age...

It’s the time again, my friends. When I go through Hulu’s Criterion page and give you what’s new, what’s exciting and what might be a hint at a future release within the collection. There’s even a ton of new supplemental material from various films that are worth getting into. If you like this series of article, please sign up for your own Hulu Plus account. Every little bit counts and is much appreciated.
Let’s just get right to it then. Remember, all the links will be included with each listing. We make it as easy as possible for all of you. First up is a film that isn’t in the collection but I can easily see it being welcomed with open arms.
La Cérémonie (1995), a Claude Chabrol film, is about Catherine (Jacqueline Bisset) who hires a new maid by the name of Sophie (Sandrine Bonnaire), an illiterate woman.

Apparently, if there is one thing that Hulu likes more than putting Criterion releases on their online streaming outlet, it’s taking the best documentaries from the collection in particular.
Just a week or so after the release of the Les Blank directed Fitzcarraldo documentary, Burden Of Dreams, onto their website, they have picked up not one, but two stunning films, in the form of both Grey Gardens and The Beales Of Grey Gardens.
Both films look at the lives of aunt and cousin to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, “Big” Edie and “Little” Edie Beale. The pair of films are also helmed by the fantastic duo of Albert and David Maysles, and also gives a deep look into the world that was Grey Gardens. “Big” and “Little” Edie had a relationship that could be at some points loving, and at others completely full of anger, all while living in a horribly...
