21.12.2011 | Coming soon: »A Winter’s War: Keith Gordon on A Midnight Clear«

Keith Gordon’s anti-war film A MIDNIGHT CLEAR, filmed in 1991 and released in 1992, was based on William Wharton’s novel and tells the story of six young US soldiers, played by Ethan Hawke, Gary Sinese, Peter Berg, Frank Whaley, Arye Gross and Kevin Dillon, in the Ardennes forest in December 1944. Now, for the first time ever worldwide, Gordon’s cult classic will be released in a brilliant new transfer and in the correct aspect ratio of 1:1.85, by Second Sight Films in Great Britain, and hopefully in other territories as well. (Home entertainment rights are available through Hollywood Classics, London.) The DVD will feature an audio commentary by Gordon and Hawke, half an hour of deleted or extended scenes, and a newly produced 50-minutes Fiction Factory documentary, »A Winter’s War«, directed by Robert Fischer. Filmed in early December 2011 in his home in Los Angeles, director-writer Keith Gordon discusses all aspects of the filmmaking process, from adapting Wharton’s novel and finding the actors to shooting in snow-covered Utah and marketing the film. A passionate, captivating monolgue by one of America’s most dedicated independent filmmakers!
