Filmmaker Nicholas Woytuk’s documentary short The Alchemy of David finds Photographer David Michael Kennedy, most known for his dusty, tactile album cover work for Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson, reflecting on his place as an ageing artist in the digital era. It’s very much a celebratory work that champions the unique eccentricities of film photography, with Woytuk translating the spirit of Kennedy’s practice into the look and feel of his film by shooting the photographer on Black & White 16mm film stock. Dn is excited to bring Woytuk’s film to audiences worldwide through our online premiere today alongside a conversation with the director where he delves into his ongoing relationship with Kennedy, the loose, unplanned approach he had to shooting the renowned photographer, and the decision to shelve the project for five months in order to gain a better perspective.
