TIFF 2017: OUR HIGHLIGHTS FROM SHORT CUTS PROGRAMME 1
An Imagined Conversation: Kanye West & Stephen Hawking
Dir. Sol Friedman
Any time a Sol Friedman film is playing a festival it immediately becomes a must-see. His latest work is no exception. A hilarious smorgasbord of pop culture references, Friedman imagines a conversation between musician, and self-proclaimed genius, Kanye West and theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking.
