Twenty Feet from Stardom

Description

Few things are more entertaining and thought provoking than watching conservative celebrity William F. Buckley and liberal superstar Gore Vidal verbally spar like prima donna hell cats.

Co-directors Robert Gordon and Oscar® Winner Morgan Neville (Twenty Feet from Stardom, MSPIFF 2013) take Buckley and Vidal’s iconic 1968 televised political coverage and elucidates between the lines of this fascinating, off-the-rails relationship and unprecedented moment in media. Best of Enemies is a memo of a bygone era, when intellectuals reigned supreme and news had daring pizzazz.
