Just discovered Les's work recently and I am completely blown away. Indeed, he is an incredible filmmaker. I wish it hadn't taken me this long to discover him.
as one film maker friend stated. "he is the last of the mohicans" A very highly regarded film maker who has a certain sensitivity to honor the individual's voice and essence who he is filming.
I am a 28 year old documentary filmmaker who has been a fan of Les Blank long before I found my current path. I ran into Les once in 2002 in Durham, North Carolina and then again two weeks ago at the Film Forum in NY. I guess you could say he is my greatest inspiration in terms of my documentary work. The way he documented various ethnic and esoteric subcultures in our multi-faceted country makes him not only a great patriot but a sensitive artist and historian. Thank you Les love your films
