Les Blank Films

Favorited 0 times, disliked 0 times, added to 1 watchlist.

This list has two sections.

The first 43 titles are directed or co-directed by the late documentary filmmaker Les Blank (1935-2013). The remaining films are directed by his colleagues and are all featured on http://lesblank.com. Perhaps they're available on DVD through the site -- I'm not sure.

Quite a few of these films are streamable via Kanopy and (for a price) Vimeo.

This is a work in progress, because about 35 of the films don't even have IMDb pages. So I can't add them to ICM until/unless I create IMDb pages for them first.
