Abstract:
Sprout wings and fly: This is a warm depiction of the life of old-time fiddler Tommy Jarrell in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.
In heaven there is no beer?: A cinematic jamboree, this film finds Blank in a characteristically jubilant mode as he explores "polka happiness" and the Polish American polka subculture.
Gap-toothed women: Blank breezily questions our commonly accepted standards of beauty with this paean to women with extra-wide dental spaces.
