Jim Dine: A Self-Portrait on the Walls is a 1995 short documentary film about artist Jim Dine produced by Nancy Dine and Richard Stilwell. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Short.

The film presents the artist in the context of the gallery as the studio. It allows the viewers to follow along as he builds his work on the walls of a gallery in Ludwigsburg, Germany. Art students benefit from it because they learn the obstacles an artist faces when working with a medium larger than the Canson Biggie art pad, and the frustrations Mr. Dine had to face when making an image larger than life.

The narrator explains how the gallery that invited Mr. Dine to present his work could not afford to bring his finished pieces, so they commissioned him instead to simply recreate his images on their walls.

The film then follows him along as he pushes himself and an assistant to meet a six day deadline. He uses the medium of charcoal to compose portraits not only of himself but of various birds. It shows how broad, sweeping strokes must be employed; how the artist must scale a ten foot ladder for sake of a few deliberate strokes and then step back down to view it from ground level. The film demonstrates how the artist can correct one section of the image without tearing down the whole wall. The student can observe makeshift tools being created as the artist tapes blocks of charcoal to the end of a staff and 'whacks' it against the wall as he tries to achieve the look of a certain stroke. At other times the artist uses soft strokes with his palm, or a piece of bread. The viewer gets to see how tedious the work is, how abusive the charcoal is to a person's skin and hands, how personal-protective-equipment must be worn. It is a tenacious insight to the world behind the finished product; how an artist must often suffer for sake of his artform.

Mr. Dine is at times seen as being arrogant, for which he makes apology near the end of the film. However, the viewer will by that point completely sympathize with what intense pressure he was under during the filming, not only to meet the deadline but to have the works look masterful and to simultaneously have a cinematographer watching over his every move.

The final punishment the artist had to endure was at the end of the gallery's six-week event. At that point, all of his works were destroyed: the masterfully created pieces were all washed off the walls and painted over. Time for the works of the next artist to be presented.

Filmmaker John J Doherty traces the life and work of the Irish artist, book illustrator and stained glass artist Harry Clarke (1889–1931) with major contributions from his biographer Nicola Gordon Bowe as well as many stained glass artists, poets and historians. The film takes the artist's work in stained glass, which was mainly religious & ethereal, and in book illustration, which was mainly dark & fantastical, as the basis for its title and tells a story of talent, struggle, success and the censorship of his final masterpiece 'the Geneva Window'. Harry Clarke brought his expertise in working in fine decorative detail in glass to his book illustrations, most notably in the tales of Hans Christian Andersen and Edgar Allan Poe where he is compared to Aubrey Beardsley and which are featured in the film and paralleled with German Expressionist cinema of the time. The film was made in conjunction with the Irish Film Board and national broadcaster TG4.

Ce documentaire relie deux trajectoires artistiques situées dans des époques différentes. La première concerne Paul Klee, dont le voyage à Tunis en 1914 marque considérablement son œuvre. La seconde correspond au réalisateur et peintre tunisien Nacer Khémir, qui s’inspire de l’œuvre de Klee. Le film montre le rapprochement des possibilités offertes par l’image et le dévoilement du lien entre deux artistes. Khémir entreprend, presque cent ans plus tard, le même périple que Klee et revient sur son passé, sur l’histoire et la culture de son pays.

The film tells the story of Robert M. Knight, a rock photographer born and raised in Honolulu, who holds the distinction of being one of the first photographers to capture Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, and the last to photograph Stevie Ray Vaughan. Over the course of the film, Robert revisits the friends and idols of his past, such as Jeff Beck, Slash, Carlos Santana, and Steve Vai, while helping to kick-start the careers of the Australian band Sick Puppies. Fiercely protective of his ever-expanding photo archive, the photographer struggles with his mother's costly around-the-clock care, and debates whether to sell the 200,000+ photos that mean so much to him.

Oualata, la ville rouge à l’extrême est du désert mauritanien. Dans cet îlot, éphémère rempart contre les sables, trois femmes pratiquent la peinture traditionnelle en décorant les murs des maisons de la ville. Dans une société apparemment dominée par la tradition, la religion et les hommes, ces femmes s’expriment avec une surprenante liberté sur leur manière de percevoir la relation entre les hommes et les femmes.
