Sinopsis:
- San Francisco. 1969. Un niño de cuatro años y medio, descalzo y con el pelo alborotado, mira a cámara, despliega toda su candidez y confiesa con una sonrisa: «I smoke grass». El niño, el mismo que con cuatro años y medio rechaza la autoridad policial pero no acierta a ordenar los días de la semana, se llama Sean. El hombre de la cámara, el joven que le interpela en off, el mismo que sigue y captura sus pasos durante varios días, es uno de sus vecinos en el número 629 de Cole Street. O lo que es lo mismo, Haight-Ashbury, epicentro emocional del movimiento hippie. (...)
Comentario personal:
- Si alguien se quiere currar los subtítulos, son solo 14 minutillos de ná... En 2005 se estrenó "Following Sean", con el chaval metido a electricista. Está en karagarga, pero tampoco tiene subs.
— When you get older, do you think you'll get in trouble with the police?
— YES.
Ralph Arlyck
Over a distinguished 25-year career, Ralph Arlyck has produced more than a dozen prize-winning, independent films. Writer and critic Philip Lopate, in In Search of the Centaur: The Essay Film, says "To my knowledge, Ralph Arlyck is, besides Chris Marker, the one consistent essay filmmaker."
He began his filmmaking career in San Francisco, attending San Francisco State College, and documenting the Haight Ashbury in his widely acclaimed first film, Sean,. He joined Canyon Cinema in 1971. His films have been screened and have won top prizes at festivals around the world, including Sundance, London, New York Film Festival, Ann Arbor and Prix Italia.
Among the numerous grants and prizes Arlyck has received are a Guggenheim Fellowship and a Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship. He has played an important advocacy role for American independent producers, testifying twice in Congress and once before the Carnegie Commission on the role of independents in public television. He was centrally involved in legislation which first recognized independents as a important force within that system.
Arlyck writes on production issues for several media journals. He is a member of the Board of Input, an original member of the AIVF, and a long-standing member of New Day Films. He has taught film production at Vassar College, SUNY Buffalo and SUNY Purchase. He is an entertaining speaker who lectures frequently at universities and media centers.
Arlyck's reflective style, and his sensitivity to the foibles and biases of American culture, grow out of a background in journalism and his experience as a Peace Corps volunteer in Africa. He is a graduate of the Columbia School of Journalism and has filmed and traveled widely in the Third World. He has visited the former Soviet Union twice, once as a part of the delegation of leading American independent producers, and once as a guest of the St. Petersburg Film Festival. He speaks fluent French and working Spanish.
