  Because Roger Ebert got a mention, we should also note the passing of one of the great documentary filmmakers.

  Les Blank passed away at 77 years of age. He influence a whole generation of documentary filmmakers. He also made one of the greatest movies about movie-making: “The Burden of Dreams.”

  Here is one of his shorter works with a very self-explanatory title: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KjMc8HlUn4

  If Roger Ebert warrants a mention on this forum, I figure Les Blank deserves as much.
