Dust a Sculptor's Journey 2011, Jeanne Pope
This is an intimate artist profile and first-person ode. It explores the life and work of Montreal's late great sculptor and print-maker Stanley Lewis for his contribution to Canada ’s rich art heritage and also portrays his love for his beloved Boulevard St. Laurent, affectionately known as the Main.
This cinéma-vérité documentary chronicles the last years of Stanley's eccentric life as he struggles with his health and creative legacy.
His nostalgic boulevard, his cluttered dusty studio and his vagabond friends all serve as a backdrop for the perseverance of his artistic vision and the cultural landmarks fading around him...
This is my personal journal and homage to my friend Stanley as well as an archival document.
