Turn back the clock and return to a year lost to time. These eclectic films were slated to screen in our festival last year, which would have been WRIF’s “return home,” to the historic Brigg’s Opera House. This year, these films come to your homes, and promise to surprise, inspire, and befuddle in ways singular to each. These three films are refreshing and ecstatic, bold in their approach, prescient in their content, and utterly independent. They are WRIF, through and through, then, and now.
Dan Dailey lives in the middle of the Texas desert, one of the least populated, and darkest places in the U.S. Dan chose this place for a reason; in 2009 he started a retreat for juvenile parricides, or kids who have killed their parents. Wandervogel begins when two documentary filmmakers arrive at Dan Dailey’s residence to make a film and find him dead. From there, the story unfolds as the filmmakers are thrust into a search for Dan’s cause of death, and next of kin. They find out about Dan’s unnatural obsession with Nazi youth, his recent altercation with a young man, and his status as a “weirdo” in the town. Wandervogel is both a look outward into Dan’s life and legacy, and inward towards the process of documentation.
