MISSING PICTURES 1: BIRDS OF PREY

Hard times, bad luck, tight spots, destiny… Some films become recipes for misfortune. Missing Pictures is a documentary series that gives some of the greatest directors a chance to tell the story they were never able to bring to the screen. In the first episode, meet long-time independent American filmmaker Abel Ferrara. ‘Birds of Prey’ would have the political thriller of his dreams… until it fell apart. The neo-noir, provocative director behind Ms. 45 (1981) and Bad Lieutenant (1992), takes us with him on a journey through the heart of a story brought to life thanks to custom designed animations based on original pre-production material.
