I Am Secretly an Important Man
(Peter Sillen, 2010, USA, DigiBeta, 85 min). Peter Sillen's documentary portrait of the guru of grunge, Steven (Jesse) Bernstein, undulates like a spoken-word performance. Known in the Seattle art and music scene as one of the most influential voices of the late twentieth century, Bernstein was a poet and performance artist who recorded with Sub Pop Records and inspired Kurt Cobain, Oliver Stone and many other writers, filmmakers and grunge and punk musicians.

Bernstein performed stories and songs about society's fringesangry, tender and sometimes corrosively humorous portraits of drifters, junkies and ex-cons. His mentor, William Burroughs, said of his writing, "The work is deeply felt...Bernstein has been there and brought it back. Bernstein is a writer."

I Am Secretly an Important Man recently screened at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival in Durham, North Carolina.
