William Kentridge: Anything is Possible: William Kentridge’s work is amazing. I saw an exhibition of his work earlier this year at the Museum of Modern Art. Reserve space right away for this captivating documentary film. On Saturday, Dec. 4, the Miami debut (and outdoor screening) of PBS Art:21’s documentary about Kentridge gives viewers an intimate look into the mind and creative process of the South African artist whose acclaimed charcoal drawings, animations, video installations, shadow plays, mechanical puppets, tapestries, sculptures, live performance pieces, and operas have made him one of the most dynamic and exciting contemporary artists working today. This documentary features exclusive interviews with Kentridge as he works in his studio and discusses his artistic philosophy and techniques. (Please note the date posted on the documentary trailer was for the New York premiere.)
