A Winter Fable is a story told by the triptych of video portraits of a wolf, a fox, and a lamb with a score that is composed of music by Coco Rosie, and readings of the original fable by Italo Calvino’s daughter Giovanna Calvino and her friend Isabella Rossellini. The portraits form a triptych that are linked to each other and synced to the score. To help maintain the autonomy of each portrait and yet create an intimate grouping, Robert Wilson and architect Filippo Moretti designed a room with angled walls, built within one of the stables of Villa Panza.
An intimate and moving meditation on the late musician and artist Kurt Cobain, based on more than 25 hours of previously unheard audiotaped interviews conducted with Cobain by noted music journalist Michael Azerrad for his book "Come As You Are: The Story of Nirvana." In the film, Kurt Cobain recounts his own life - from his childhood and adolescence to his days of musical discovery and later dealings with explosive fame - and offers often piercing insights into his life, music, and times. The conversations heard in the film have never before been made public, and they reveal a highly personal portrait of an artist much discussed but not particularly well understood.
This documentary follows the lives and careers of a collective group of do-it-yourself artists and designers who inadvertently affected the art world.
