The Heretic is a testament to artistic ambition, exemplifying the notion that experimentation in cinema is seldom rewarded for sheer endeavor. @davidkittredge.bsky.social has made one hell of a doc, championing Boorman’s talent and the uniqueness of his work. THRILLED for this fabulous team!

Travis Stevens @travisstevens.bsky.social · Aug 31

BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL is a new documentary by @davidkittredge.bsky.social about John Boorman, the making of EXORCIST II: The Heretic, and the risk of big creative swings.

It will have its world premiere Sept. 5th at the Venice International Film Festival. We're excited for you to see it.
