Martin Scorsese Attends 2005 Full Frame Documentary Film Festival
|
Acclaimed director Martin Scorsese didn't disappoint the crowd at this year's Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, held at the Carolina Theatre in Durham, North Carolina, April 7-10, 2005.

Scorsese At Full Frame, Scorsese led a tribute to Italian documentary filmmaker Vittorio De Seta. The Sicilian master made nine short docs in the 1950s detailing Sicilian and Sardinian life in his distinctively poetic style. The shorts screened for the first time in the U.S. at Full Frame with Scorsese and De Seta giving commentary. In 1961, De Seta made his feature film directorial debut with the acclaimed Bandits of Orgosolo, also screened at Full Frame. Now in his eighties, De Seta is currently at work on a digitally shot film about African immigrants to Italy.
Scorsese also took the stage for "An Evening with Martin Scorsese" discussing his career and the influence of documentary films on his own work. He has made several documentaries himself, including a new film on Bob Dylan that will premiere on PBS in 2005.
