(The clip here is not from the documentary Marwencol. Instead it’s a stop-motion scene conceived by the creator of the tiny town itself.)
Social tagging: Documentary Feature > Marwencol > SXSWMark Hogancamp, a bad drunk with a thing for women’s shoes, was jumped by five guys outside a bar in Kingston, N.Y., and beaten into a coma. When he emerged, he set to work creating a 1/6 scale World War II-era Belgian village made up of dolls and meticulously crafted props. This is Hogancamp’s new life, his very own alternate universe, and he tends to it and photographs it with loving care. Director Jeff Malmberg wisely gives Hogancamp’s tableaux room to breathe; we get an inside look at a miniature world and the man who made and inhabits it. Like War Don Don, Marwencol is part of the SXSW’s documentary competition. (Dallas News)
