Notfilm plot

Five years before he was to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, playwright Samuel Beckett wrote his only screenplay in 1964. The avant-garde project, FILM, remains a sensational undertaking to this day. Both maligned and praised by critics, the film was considered a huge failure by Beckett himself, and lead actor Buster Keaton also turned out to be completely off track. Director Ross Lipman provides a poetic, experimental kino essay about Beckett's cinematic adventure. The ambitious "Notfilm" offers in this spacious, two-hour making-of attention for the personal, literary and cinematic background, and the philosophical implications of FILM. Using archival footage, lost outtakes, audiotapes of conversations between Beckett and director Alan Schneider, and interviews with experts and collaborators, provides a wealth of rare material...
