The actress Maria de Medeiros filmed this documentary, about the conflicted relations of critics and directors, at the 2002 Cannes festival, and worked with the talent on hand.
With a lot of patient craft, the co-directors of this frisky yet semi-tragic 1995 documentary, Jeanne Jordan and Steven Ascher, record the final months that Russel and Mary Jane Jordan spent on the Iowa farm that by 1990 had been in the family for almost a hundred and twenty-five years.
The Grierson Award will be given to the best documentary while the inaugural best British newcomer award for writers, producers and directors will also be presented at the ceremony, which will be hosted by Paul Gambaccini.
