Films about making a film

[FernandoAndre]

Nobody mentioned what in my opinion is the best film about filmmaking: the documentary Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse.

There is a very inspirational message for you, indie filmmaker, on this movie.


And Keanu Reeves made a doc about the digital filmmaking: http://sidebysidethemovie.com
I didn't find it to see yet, but for sure it's very interesting.

The new movie Hitchcock fits the bill.

Have to add Throng by forum member Chris Wilson.

The official thread is linked here, but man oh man... I haven't laughed so hard in years. Had to share.

Thanks Zensteve, that's very nice of you!

My favourite is Crimes and Misdemeanours, but there are some suprisingly good films being mentioned in this thread given that a 'film about making a film' is seen as such an over hacked storyline.

How about a film about making a play?

Jesus of Montreal is a great film. Trailer won't sell it, though. Awful trailer.

Watch the film, anway.

Cecil B. Demented by: John Waters
American Movie: A documentary about a guy making a film to raise money for another film, One of my favorites.
