Description
In a brief and informal interview, Charles Amirkhanian talks with Dutch filmmaker Frank Scheffer about his most recent film “Edgard Varèse: The One All Alone,” which had it’s U. S. premier in San Francisco on April 19, 2010, as part of a fundraiser for Other Minds. Scheffer reminisces about his first trip to San Francisco in 1980, when he was one of the few people able to interview director Francis Ford Coppola about the future of cinema. Scheffer also discusses the Varèse film and how he shot interviews with Varèse’s student, composer Chou Wen-chung, in Varèse's New York City home, as well as on location in Shanghai, China, and Santa Fe, New Mexico.
