SIFTER for the Ear presents:

This is the first major documentary on artist Georgia O’Keeffe since the 70s. Charlottesville filmmaker Paul Wagner directed the film and we have an interesting discussion about this fascinating woman, including:
– Why the film started in Basel, Switzerland
– The meaning of the title
– O’Keefe lived in Williamsburg and Charlottesville
– 25,000 pages of letters between her and Alfred Stieglitz
– Seeing O’Keeffe not wearing black and wearing makeup
– Getting Claire Danes and her husband Hugh Dancy to do the voiceovers
– Using a graphic approach to the visuals
– Her mental health issues
