I have been covering two festivals at the same time and that's not easy. My favorites at the New York International Independent Film and Video are:
as for the feature film - "The Ultimate Solution of Grace Quigley". A rare opportunity to see the unreleased "writers Cut" version of KATHERINE HEPBURN, NICK NOLTE, in a dark comedy about euthanasia of the older generation. Thi was selected as "one of Hepburn's very best films" by Roger Ebert. She is absolutely magnificent in it.
The Documentary of my choice is : 'JESUS, THE EASTERN TRAVELLER: which brings together the journeys of Jesus Christ from the age of 13 to 32 in the Orient - Kashmir, Tibet. The historian Fida Hassnain accompanies viewers along a documented path through many towns and villages which talk about Jesus in their scrolls, some which are sealed, behind closed gates. Too much valuable data here to disregard the truth and the many books which have been written by historians about the subject.
