Gentle Giants

1995 15 min

An autobiographical piece: Weber is the off-screen narrator telling us about various key points in his life - as a teenager putting together a scrapbook of Hollywood stars and falling in love with Liz Taylor; living on a farm with Newfoundland dogs; his relationship with his father, who gave him his first camera; his first dance with a man at Stonewall bar in New York City. During the narration, images from the scrapbook and from home movies provide illustration and counterpoint. The dogs are the gentle giants, a boy's best friend.
