Araya

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Margot Benacerraf discusses the restoration and distribution of her brilliant 1959 tone poem "Araya," in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the film's first showing at the Cannes Film Festival. Rarely shown, the film was largely forgotten by the film world, but this year it is being released worldwide by Milestone. Dennis Doros, co-founder and Vice President of Milestone, describes the restoration of the film. "Araya" is playing at the IFC Center October 7-20.
