Film Portrait (1972) is a full-length autobiographical film directed by, and about, the life of Minnesotan film-maker and artist, Jerome Hill.[1][2]

Summary

Jerome Hill died shortly after the completion of Film Portrait, and so the work is often described as his memoir from his privileged childhood in the Midwest to his restless adult years.[3][4][5]

Legacy

In 2003, Film Portrait was added to the National Film Registry at the Library of Congress, recognizing the cultural, historical and aesthetic significance of the work, as well as ensuring the preservation of the original film footage.[6][7]
