Les Blank From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Les Blank (b. Tampa Florida United States ) is an American documentary filmmaker best known for his portraits of American traditional musicians. Blank attended Tulane University in New Orleans , where he received a B.A. in English literature and an M.F.A. in theater. Following his university education he founded his own production company, Flower Films, and all of his films since that time have been independently produced, often with the assistance of grants from cultural agencies, both governmental and non-governmental. Most of his films focus on American traditional music forms including (among others) blues Appalachian , Cajun, Creole, Tex-Mex polka tamburitza , and Hawaiian musics. Many of these films represent the only filmed documents of master musicians who are now deceased. Blank's films focusing on musical subjects often spend much of their running time focusing not on the music itself but on the music's cultural context, lending richness to the portrayals of the surroundings from which these American roots musics come. Other notable films on non-musical subjects include a film about garlic and another about gap-toothed women, as well as two films about German film director

Movies Index Sonoma Independent MetroActive Central Archives Les Is More Man with a Movie Camera: Les Blank has spent the past three decades making acclaimed documentaries. Samantha Dunscombe Director Les Blank films artists, musicians, and shoe eaters By Zack Stentz LES BLANK HAS captured some pretty peculiar things on film. After all, this is the guy who, in his 35 years of film work, has taken the art of the documentary to new heights by bringing his camera to bear on everything from East Coast polka fanatics ( In Heaven There Is No Beer? ) to Cajun musicians and cooks ( Always for Pleasure ) to lovers of the stinky rose ( Garlic Is as Good as Ten Mothers ), deftly mixing music, food, and ethnography together in a style so natural that the viewer feels more like a participant than an observer. Speaking on the phone from his El Cerrito home, Blank is polite, friendly, soft-spokenjust the sort of person one would imagine slipping easily into the cultural inner sanctums of various ethnic and social subcultures with his trusty 16mm camera in hand. His serious, non-judgmental voice never slips, even when describing the time he filmed eccentric German director Werner Herzog ( Fitzcarraldo Every Man for Himself and God Against All ) eating his shoe in front of an audience at the University of California theater. "Werner Herzog had been talking to a UC Berkeley student named Errol Morris," Blank explains, "who had up until then been a failure at everything he had triedbeing a mathematician, a writer, a cello playerand Werner said, 'Since you've failed at everything in life, you have the perfect makings to be a filmmaker.'

skip to main skip to sidebar Expanded Cinema Les Blank Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe (1980) An episode in Herzog's history of mock-heroic self-sacrifice [jumping into a cactus bush, walking from Munich to Paris in a blizzard], "Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe" is a documentary short in which the German director fullfils his promise to Errol Morris that he would eat his shoe if Morris ever completed his first film (Gates of Heaven.) The film features Herzog boiling his shoes (the ones he claims to have worn when he made the bet) in garlic and herbs for 5 hours. He eventually eats one of them before an audience at the premier of the film. Blank went on to direct Burden of Dreams (1982), a feature-length documentary about the making of Herzog's Fitzcarraldo.

Mklesson User Guide This is a brief user guide for mklesson, a tutor-generating program for the World Wide Web (WWW)! I developed mklesson so that tutorials on the WWW would be significantly easier to create and modify. Unlike some other tutorial generators, mklesson does not require any modification of the local web server program. A tutorial handled by mklesson need not be maintained by a single person. Mklesson tutorials are broken into many lessons, and different lessons may have different maintainers and web server locations. Mklesson is simply a program which takes as input a file called a ``lesson file'' (with the file extension .les). Mklesson produces a large set of WWW files in HTML format (with the file extension .htm or .html). You can create or modify the .les file using whatever text editor you prefer, and then run mklesson. The resulting HTML format files can then be used by tutorial users. First, some terminology. Mklesson considers a tutorial to be a set of two or more lessons , numbered 1, 2, 3, etc. Each lesson consists of two or more
