One of my big favourites from the Berlin Film Festival this year is Wild Combination, a beautiful and intelligent portrait of the late Arthur Russell. The film weaves together archive materials and interviews with visually driven sequences and imaginings of Russell in New York. It's real strength for me is in combining fascinating material about Russell and his work from avant garde to disco, with insights from those he loved and left behind. The interviews with his partner of twelve years and his parents are particularly moving.
