ON FILM: Samuel Beckett's Film

Samuel Beckett is one of the most influential writer, thinker, and theater director of the 20th century. Beckett is best known for his play Waiting for Godot. Five years before Waiting for Godot, Beckett made a singular foray into cinema writing and creating a short film simply titled "Film". 

Samuel Beckett's "Film" has been recently been restored and released on blu-ray along with a companion film titled "Not Film". Host Charles Horak speaks with filmmaker and restorationist Ross Lipman who oversaw the restoration of "Film" and created "Not Film".
