David Holzman’s Diary

Screening on Film
With L.M. Kit Carson, Eileen Dietz, Lousie Levine.
US, 1967, 16mm, black & white, 73 min.

David Holzman is a struggling young filmmaker living in New York City who decides to make a film about his life. Inspired by Godard’s famed quote that film is “truth at 24 frames per second,” David throws himself headlong into the process, alienating his girlfriend and pushing himself to the brink of sanity. A vital piece in the New York-based American independent film movement of the 1960’s, McBride’s faux documentary offers an immediate critique on the truth-telling claims of non-fiction film.
