Then, conversation with cinéma-vérité masters D. A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus, who’ll detail the craft of their ‘glorified home movies’ such as Dylan’s “Dont Look Back” and “The War Room,” and their latest feature “Kings of Pastry.” Plus, clips from films we love, and songs that make the silver screen shimmer.
