Gary Leva

Biografie:

Der Filmemacher und Filmhistoriker Gary Leva hat sich als kreative Kraft hinter zahlreichen Dokumentarfilmen, Rundfunkprogrammen und Sonderfilmen hervorgetan, von denen sich viele auf die Filmkunst konzentrieren. Sein Dokumentarfilm „Fog City Mavericks“, der 100 Jahre in der Geschichte der lebendigen Filmszene San Franciscos beleuchtet, hatte seine Weltpremiere auf dem 50. San Francisco International Film Festival, bevor er im Kabelfernsehen und auf CD weiterlief. Levas Dokumentarfilme haben einen nachhaltigen Beitrag zur Filmgeschichte geleistet. Sein preisgekröntes „A Legacy of Filmmakers“ feierte beim Telluride Film Festival Premiere und wurde von der New York Film Society im Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan gezeigt. Dieser Dokumentarfilm beleuchtet die Gründung von Francis Ford Coppolas bahnbrechender Filmgesellschaft American Zoetrope vor dem Hintergrund der sich verändernden Landschaft des amerikanischen Kinos in den späten 1960er und frühen 1970er Jahren. Mittlerweile ist der Film Teil der Lehrpläne mehrerer Spitzenuniversitäten. Levas gefeierte Dokumentarfilme über das Kino von George Lucas umfassen die gesamte Bandbreite von Lucas‘ Karriere, von seinen frühesten Studentenfilmen über seinen ersten Spielfilm THX 1138 bis hin zur Star Wars-Serie und darüber hinaus. Seine Dokumentationssammlungen über die Filmemacher Alfred Hitchcock, Clint Eastwood und Stanley Kubrick werden oft als die beste Anthologie zu jedem dieser Meisterwerke angesehen. Leva hat sich einen hervorragenden Ruf als führender Experte auf seinem Gebiet erworben und arbeitet weiterhin mit den besten Filmemachern unserer Zeit zusammen, darunter Christopher Nolan, Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Spike Lee, Robert Redford, Oliver Stone und viele andere. Über die Welt des Kinos hinaus hat Leva Dokumentarfilme zu so unterschiedlichen Themen produziert wie dem Kampf investigativer Journalisten, im Internetzeitalter relevant zu bleiben, und der Art und Weise, wie sich die Errungenschaften Alexanders des Großen in unserem modernen Leben widerspiegeln. Weitere Projekte sind der preisgekrönte narrative Spielfilm „Plan B“ mit Jon Cryer in der Hauptrolle, die Mockumentary „R2-D2: Beneath the Dome“, landesweit auf Fox ausgestrahlt, und 1939: Hollywood's Greatest Year, landesweit auf TCM ausgestrahlt. Leva hat eine außerordentliche Professur an der USC School of Cinematic Arts.
