Houston Cinema Arts Society is pleased to present the Houston premiere of one of the year's most original and important documentaries, The Windmill Movie. The film, directed by Alexander Olch and produced by Pulitzer Prize–winning photographer Susan Meiselas, is imaginatively composed from footage collected over many years for an unfinished autobiography by legendary art documentarian, experimental filmmaker, and film professor Richard P. Rogers. That footage is woven together with reminiscences and staged performances by Rogers' friends, including actors Wallace Shawn and Bob Balaban.

Meiselas was Rogers' life partner for many years (they married near the end of Rogers' life), and she collaborated with him on two classic documentary films made in the 1980s in support of the Nicaraguan people and revolution, Living at Risk and Pictures from a Revolution. Meiselas will present these films as well as three of Rogers' art documentaries and experimental films, recently screened to great acclaim at the Walter Reade Theater in New York.
