A Poem Is a Naked Person
The film documenting the artistic activity of Leon Russel, an American musician and arranger, was made in 1974. It did not go into official distribution until 2015 when the director’s son, Harrod Blank, prepared a new, remastered version of the picture. The KFF audience will have an opportunity to see a unique document, entitled using a quote from Bob Dylan, whose contents faithfully reflects the atmosphere of the early 1970s, the location of its making (Russel’s recording studio in Oklahoma) and, above all, the sound of that time.
