DOC WATCH: William Kentridge Bio on PBS

About six years ago, a buddy and I went museum hopping in NYC. While getting lost in the Met, I stumbled upon an exhibit by William Kentridge and was blown away. Kentridge, a South African-born artist, predominantly does charcoal sketches, animation, and films — much of which is inspired by apartheid. The animations are particularly impressive because in many of them he uses only one canvas per scene, erasing and redrawing every moving part in each frame. Here's a piece called Monument from 1990:
After not hearing much from Kentridge for awhile, I was pleased to see that PBS is premiering a bio-doc called William Kentridge: Anything is Possible on Oct. 21 at 10 p.m. It will feature interviews with the artist along with footage of him working on his static, animated and live works. Check out the trailer below: http://vimeo.com/14544412
