A CICADA

On a hot summer day, a camera climbs up a tree after hearing the unusual cicada cry, and catches a duel between a cicada and a praying mantis. Not wanting to miss the moment, the camera clung desperately to the tree, trying to get as close to the target as possible. The camera's breath is vividly conveyed on the screen of the same recording, and along with the tragic cries of the cicadas that have fallen prey to the mantis, we are forced to experience three minutes of tension. At the end, the artist's bloodied leg is painful.

Val

For over 40 years Val Kilmer, one of Hollywood’s most mercurial and/or misunderstood actors has been documenting his own life and craft through film and video. He has amassed thousands of hours of footage, from 16mm home movies made with his brothers, to time spent in iconic roles for blockbuster movies like Top Gun, The Doors, Tombstone, and Batman Forever. This raw, wildly original and unflinching documentary reveals a life lived to extremes and a heart-filled, sometimes hilarious look at what it means to be an artist and a complex man.
