Tex-Mex music, the Cajuns of Southwest Louisiana, theZydeco music of Clifton Chenier, and the dance, food music, and religion of the polka have also been carefully recorded by Blank. He's fond of food, music and earthy culture, and that's what his films lovingly dwell on.

Professionals Event EcoCamera All in This Tea 18 November 2007, 20:00 Cinémathèque québécoise, Salle Claude-Jutra A tour of discovery into the farthest reaches of China with California tea expert David Lee Hoffman. Four years with Tibetan monks taught him something of the long history of tea, and he decided to turn his passion into work. Knowing that superior tea leaves are produced without pesticides and hand-crafted by small-scale growers, he combs the Chinese countryside to find them. We see him dragging Chinese exporters of factory-made tea up a mountainside in their suits to meet “dirty” farmers, and watch as they are reawakened to their country’s rich craft traditions. Hoffman argues for local, organic production, fair trade, and earthworms. His friend Werner Herzog describes the experience of drinking one of these exceptional teas: You’re in a forest, it’s been raining, you’re walking softly, there are leaves on the ground, it’s wet it’s all in this tea. You may never see your own cuppa quite the same way again. Buy tickets Director(s): Blank, Les; Leibrecht, Gina

51. Canyon Cinema: The Films Of Les Blank By this definition, les blank is one wise filmmaker. His rich body of cinematic work is filled with miracles and not just of sound and image. http://www.canyoncinema.com/B/Blank.html

Les Blank "Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote, 'The invariable mark of wisdom is to find the miraculous in the common.' By this definition, Les Blank is one wise filmmaker. His rich body of cinematic work is filled with miracles and not just of sound and image. One can almost smell and taste aspects of his films, from GARLIC IS AS GOOD AS TEN MOTHERS to WERNER HERZOG EATS HIS SHOE; and there is a palpability to his work - a sense of detail and of place - in such movies as BURDEN OF DREAMS. "Some people (unfortunate viewers!) assume that documentaries are didactic chronicles, usually narrated by an all-knowing and often paternal male voice. Les Blank's documentaries, from HOT PEPPER to IN HEAVEN THERE IS NO BEER?, resist such categorization. They're more often joyful glimpses of an America far from the corporate mainstream. He has been called something of an anthropologist, as he has recorded such a variety of ethnic cultures - from the music of Chicanos in CHULAS FRONTERAS, to the Serbian-American communities of Chicago and California in ZIVELI, to the Cajun and Zydeco musicians of Southwest Louisiana in I WENT TO THE DANCE. But it takes more than an anthropologist to capture Mardi Gras in New Orleans (especially the black community), as Blank does in ALWAYS FOR PLEASURE. It takes a filmmaker. "Although I consider Les Blank to be a quintessentially American filmmaker, something about his work reminds me of Jean Renoir. Both are drawn to the rituals of daily life - the meals, music and festivals that bind individuals together into communities. The films of both exhibit a sharp or curious eye balanced by an expansive heart. If there's one Les Blank film title that sums this up for me, it's from a 20-minute movies of the late '60s, GOD RESPECTS US WHEN WE WORK, BUT LOVES US WHEN WE DANCE." - Annette Isendorf's Presentation of "The AFI's Maya Deren Award for Outstanding Lifetime Achievement as an Independent Filmmaker" to Les Blank, February 8, 1990, Angelika Film Center, NYC
