Daniel Richter Loans Talent to Help Documentary
Art lovers, galleries and museums can appreciate great art, and when great art becomes available, the chance to gain it is exciting indeed. Those who are interested in helping see this film into post production success will get a valuable silkscreen print by the famous German painter, Daniel Richter.
The two filmmakers and winners of the German TV Oscar (for "monks: the transatlantic feedback"), Spanish born Lucia Palacios and German born Dietmar Post, would like to announce the imminent crowd-funding campaign for their new feature-length documentary film FRANCO'S SETTLERS (Los Colonos del Caudillo).
Post and Palacios recently have been called by the European media the counterpart to the American Direct Cinema directors D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus. With their new film FRANCO'S SETTLERS they leave the territory of making films connected to popular culture and enter the world of politics and history. Robert Redford recently stated that documentary film making is substituting investigative journalism. FRANCO'S SETTLERS is both, an investigative story about an unknown chapter within world politics and at the same time an intriguing documentary film about real life people.
SYNOPSIS
