The Turner Film Diaries (2012), directed by James T.

The concept of a "film diary" represents one of the most intimate intersections of art and autobiography. Unlike a polished studio-sanctioned biography, a film diary—such as the "Turner" collection—functions as a raw, chronological witness to a life lived both in front of and behind the camera.
