SFC Presents: Academy Award Nominee Immy Humes


Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Immy Humes will screen her
documentary DOC, a film about her father Doc Humes, a novelist,
inventor, counter cultural icon and founding editor of The Paris Review.


Immy Humes has been making documentaries for more than 20 years. She
has been nominated for an Oscar (for her first independent film, A Little Vicious),
created content for PBS, worked with Hodding Carter and Michael Moore,
and has given master classes in documentary at UT Austin, The New
School, and Connecticut College.

Humes will be answering questions after the screening.


About Doc

Scientist, novelist, activist, inventor,
filmmaker, architect, prophet, healer, and madman Harold L. 'Doc' Humes
was, by all accounts, an exhilarating, infuriating and terrifyingly
brilliant man. His Oscar-nominated documentarian daughter Immy Humes has
gathered testimonials from luminaries including Norman Mailer, William
Styron and Timothy Leary... Fascinating, wryly distanced documentary.
Casual footage from the era captures the excitement of liberation and
the headiness of artistic ferment...Immy imaginatively segues from
unexpected angles, mapping out the complex historical, cultural and
personal synapses that link the man to his times...
