Maysles Films, "The Gates" (Tribeca Film Festival)

Tightly packed into about 90 minutes is "The Gates," directed by Albert Maysles and Antonio Ferrera, an expertly assembled verite look at Christo and Jeanne-Claude, culled from some 600 hours of footage dating back to 1979, when Albert and David Maysles first began following the artists' battle to install some 7,500 metal gates draped with brightly colored fabric throughout New York'c Central Park. The film closed the Tribeca festival over the weekend and Maysles talked about the film at a recent press conference, along with Jean-Claude and co-director Antonio Ferrera.
