- Synopsis
- An artistic collaborator of William Burroughs and Jim Jarmusch, New York filmmaker Howard Brookner died of AIDS in 1989 just as his career was taking off. His body of work, which captured the late 70s and early 80s, was buried in Burroughs' bunker for 30 years. Now on a personal journey, his nephew Aaron unearths Howard's filmmaking legacy and the memory of everything he was. UNCLE HOWARD is an intertwining tale of past and present, recapturing a vanished era of '80s New York tainted by luminaries such as Madonna, Patti Smith and Laurie Anderson
