Other Side of Gary Graver

Gary Graver has one of the most fascinating careers in motion picture history: He shot Orson Welles final feature THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WIND, he worked as Welles’ closest creative collaborator on the great director’s final projects, he filmed alongside Steven Spielberg, John Cassavetes and Paul Bartel, and most impressive of all, he was the cinematographer on dozens of movies that continue to be treasured as beloved cult classics.

But Gary Graver’s name is often reduced to a footnote in film history, so in an attempt to shine a light on his accomplishments, Gold Ninja Video is proud to present a release dedicated to Graver’s oeuvre. This disc includes Graver’s debut THE EMBRACERS (1963, presented here in its longest available form, which has never been released), his jaw-dropping directorial effort AND WHEN SHE WAS BAD (1973), and the very personal retrospective A GARY GRAVER MOVIE (2004).
