Nam June Paik: Lessons from the Video Master (2007) (review)

This 2007 documentary of pioneering video artist Nam June Paik’s memorial service at the Frank Campbell Funeral Home in New York City is a simple piece, but it is one that is deeply felt. Paik, arguably the first video artist to fully embrace the possibilities of the video medium, worked with numerous people throughout his long career, and seemingly every one of them turned up for the service, which offers director Skip Blumberg a chance to gather all of Paik’s collaborators in one place for a sensitive meditation on his life and work. For all of this contemplation, though, the video is constructed in a cheerfully informal manner, much like a home movie, albeit one with an all-star cast.
