In Palm SPrIngS for the Inaugural amerIcan Documentary fIlm feStIval, the three-tIme acaDemy awarD wInner revealS hIS queSt for the truth anD the legacy he’S creatIng for younger generatIonS By Matthew Link • PhotograPhy By MichaeL SegaL
Out of the gate the largest event of its kind on the West Coast, the American Documentary Film Festival hits a winning stride. Legendary filmmaker Oliver Stone, a former Palm Desert homeowner who continues coming to the area to visit his mother, tops the bill at the festival, which runs March 29 to April 5 at Camelot Theatres in Palm
Springs. He’ll receive the inaugural festival’s lifetime achievement award and screen five rarely seen documentaries: Comandante (2003), Persona Non Grata (2003), South of the Border (2009), Looking for Fidel (2011), and Castro in Winter (2012).
Stone has directed 19 feature films, with Savages — about the Mexican drug cartels and starring Uma Thurman and John Travolta — due for release in September.
“Oliver’s work speaks for itself, but it is apropos that he is our first award winner,” says Festival Director Ted Grouya. “We believe the line between doc and narrative film is more and more gray today. Oliver’s films represent fiction becoming nonfiction. His work has quintessentially changed filmmaking in our time.”
The three-time Academy Award winner sat down with Palm Springs Life to discuss his documentary career and his expanding nonfiction legacy.
What is your history With Palm sPrings? I bought a place in 1979 in Palm Desert, where I used to go with my former wife and child. In the 1990s, my mother, who lived in New York, took a liking to the weather and social life in the Coachella Valley and ended up moving here. I occasionally spend weekends with her. I always find the desert a beautiful place. I sleep well, it’s comfort-able, and it’s a good place to catch up. I think I’ve shot two or three scenes in the deserts around here.
how did you get into documentary filmmaking? I never intended to specifically go into it. It was an offshoot of filming features. Often in my feature work, I would sometimes veer toward the documentary style as an approach. At NYU film school, we shot low-budget films with real people all the time. Some of them had real-life roles to play. I remember a big documentary I worked on in 1970 called Street Scenes about the student protests against the Cambodian invasion. We had our cameras smashed by construction workers on Wall Street. Martin Scorsese, one of our teachers at the time, ended up being the supervising director/editor, so to speak, and the film was released in the New York Film Festival at that time. The film school was filled with a lot of provocative people who, like Occupy Wall Street, wanted to bring change to the world. Later, after I had done many features, I felt the need to go back to the “real” world. I had always done a lot of research on the features involving real people, and documentaries were a continuation of that.
