Jim McVicker a way of Seeing (2008)
A Humboldt County filmed documentary by Norwegian filmmaker Petter Granrud
In the summer os 2008 , the Norwegian filmmaker Petter Granrud decided to make a documentary about a true artist. Granrud had heard from an American Friend about Jim McVicker, a paineter who lives and works in another Northern place, the wild and wooly landscape of California's Lost Coast.This is the Pacific Coast of Humboldt County., just south of the Oregon border - a largely roadless sparsely populated zone of giant trees and salty mine towns. The film is Granrud's esploration of Jim McVicker's World, and a tribute to his work. We follow the painter as he works in the places he loves: the meadows, the forests, harbors,the little weatherbeaten towns, and raggedsea-cliffs of Humboldt County. The scenery is entrancing, and watching this painter as he drinks it in, and then translates it in to his own artistic lanuage, is a joy. Granrund then goes further, and strives for a deeper understanding of the bond between the remarkable artist and his astonishing native ground Running time: 30 minutes
