Louise Bourgeois: The Spider, the Mistress and the Tangerine is a 2008 documentary film about artist and sculptor Louise Bourgeois directed by Marion Cajori and Amei Wallach and distributed by Zeitgeist Films.

Synopsis

Louise Bourgeois: The Spider, the Mistress and the Tangerine chronicles the life and imagination of Paris-born artist Louise Bourgeois. Her process is on full display in this documentary, which features the artist in her studio and with her installations, shedding light on her intentions and inspirations. Throughout the documentary, Bourgeois reveals her life and work to be imbued with her ongoing obsession with the mysteries of childhood. Bourgeois has for six decades been an important and influential figure in the world of modern art. In 1982, at the age of 71, she became the first woman to be honored with a major retrospective at New York's Museum of Modern Art. She is perhaps best known for her series of massive spider structures that have been installed around the world. Filmed with unprecedented access to the artist between 1993 and 2007, Louise Bourgeois: The Spider, the Mistress and the Tangerine is a comprehensive examination of the creative process.

Plusieurs facettes inconnues du célèbre auteur de Blueberry sont exposées, notamment l'étonnant connaisseur des textes d'Italo Calvino et de la poésie d’Arseni Tarkovski, parmi d'autres. Sortant du cadre de l'interview classique par le biais de sa passion d'acteur manqué, Giraud-Mœbius se met à nu devant la caméra imaginaire du cinéaste Govam Taboun, personnage inventé par Mœbius pour son Désert B. À partir de dessins animés, d'archives et d'œuvres rares, les screen tests coécrits et joués par l'artiste révèlent d'une façon inédite la psyché de l'un des plus influents dessinateurs du XX siècle.

Oualata, la ville rouge à l’extrême est du désert mauritanien. Dans cet îlot, éphémère rempart contre les sables, trois femmes pratiquent la peinture traditionnelle en décorant les murs des maisons de la ville. Dans une société apparemment dominée par la tradition, la religion et les hommes, ces femmes s’expriment avec une surprenante liberté sur leur manière de percevoir la relation entre les hommes et les femmes.

The film tells the story of Robert M. Knight, a rock photographer born and raised in Honolulu, who holds the distinction of being one of the first photographers to capture Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, and the last to photograph Stevie Ray Vaughan. Over the course of the film, Robert revisits the friends and idols of his past, such as Jeff Beck, Slash, Carlos Santana, and Steve Vai, while helping to kick-start the careers of the Australian band Sick Puppies. Fiercely protective of his ever-expanding photo archive, the photographer struggles with his mother's costly around-the-clock care, and debates whether to sell the 200,000+ photos that mean so much to him.

The first segment of Piece by Piece lays out the fundamentals of San Francisco graffiti by documenting topics that laid the groundwork for artists today. Items covered are “Cholo” writing, the impact of PBS's Style Wars (1983), and the development of San Francisco's defined style. This segment includes not only San Francisco's graffiti originals, but also commentary from noted New York writers such as Seen, Cope2 and Case2. It also covers the life and death of Dream One, a San Francisco graffiti pioneer and a vocal figurehead in Bay Area urban welfare activism.

!Women Art Revolution explores the "secret history" of feminist art, through conversations, observations, archival footage, and works of visionary artists, historians, curators and critics. Starting from its roots in 1960s antiwar and civil rights protests, the film details major developments in feminist art through the 1970s and explores how the tenacity and courage of these pioneering artists resulted in what is now widely regarded as the most significant art movement of the late 20th century.
