Best Song - "We Head Out" by Laurie Anderson & Kronos Quartet

The first 3-D Film Screening in our festival's history!

This documentary about the life and work of artist and marine H.C. “Cliff” Westermann (voice-acted by four-time Academy-Award nominee Ed Harris), was conceived and directed by Leslie Buchbinder, and features interviews with Ed Ruscha, Frank Gehry, and many others.

As a veteran of World War II and the Korean War who struggled with the ramifications of modern warfare, Westermann’s dramatic personal history can be traced through his beguiling, surreal artworks.

The film is executive produced by the international art icon KAWS, and award-winning documentary producer Caryn Capotosto, whose prior projects include "Won’t You Be My Neighbor," "Best of Enemies," and more. Westermann features music by legendary artists Laurie Anderson, the Kronos Quartet, and Terry Allen, with an original score by MacArthur Genius Grant winner Tomeka Reid.
