Matt Dillon, who portrayed Bukowski's alter ego "Hank Chinaski' in 2005's Factotum
Matteo Borgardt & Silvia Bizio, the filmmakers behind the new documentary You Never Had It - An Evening With Bukowski
Producer and journalist Silvia Bizio introduces an evening with writer Charles Bukowski by recounting her time with the author and the discovery of an extraordinary time capsule that lead to the documentary’s creation. The documentary is based on a video interview conducted by Bizio in January of 1981 with Bukowski at his home in San Pedro, California. It was a long night of smoking cigarettes and drinking wine with Bukowski and his soon to be wife, Linda Lee Beighle, talking about all kinds of subjects, from writers to sex, love and humanity. The interview was shot on Umatic tapes which have been digitized and edited along with new shots in Super8 of scenes of Los Angeles today and poems read by Bukowski.
Join journalist and producer Silvia Bizio and director Matteo Borgardt for an in depth discussion of Silvia's evening interviewing Charles Bukowski in 1981 and the making of the extraordinary documentary time capsule of that night, "You Never Had It - An Evening With Bukowski". Moderated by Slamdance Film Festival Co-founder Peter Baxter.
