This is a some what more special segment of this week’s Under the Radar, centering not on one or two films but on a person. The man we are talking about is photographer and filmmaker Bruce Weber. Best known for his controversial work behind the lens with photography and filmmaking, for the rest of this month the Sundance channel is honoring the creative mind by showcasing his work this Thursday.
The particular piece of work we have to show off from the people of Sundance is his latest short documentary entitled Liberty City Is Just Like Paris To Me. Within it he takes us to Liberty City, Florida to capture the street celebrations of January 2009 coinciding with the inauguration of Barack Obama and the Liberty City MLK Day celebrations.

Weber has made a fair amount of shorts and music videos alike. In order to let you get a better look at his controversial yet artistic style, here is the music video he did for the band The Pet Shop Boys. ‘Being Boring’ does show a lot of skin, so if you do not like seeing naked bodies I say look away, and if not then see the video below:
Make sure you stay tuned on the Sundance channel this Thursday at 10 PM ET/PT honoring the photographer and filmmaker.
