The Cave family described the 15-year-old as “our beautiful, happy loving boy.” Director Andrew Dominik said that the idea for the doc came about after Cave “realised he was going to have to promote the record.” “Arthur had died halfway through making it. And the idea of [promoting] it made him feel sick, because he was going to have to discuss the context of the record with a whole bunch of journalists,” said Dominik. “That prospect was very alarming to him. His instinct in making the film was one of self-preservation: it was a way to talk about what happened, but there was a certain safety in doing it with someone he knew.” Top stories The creative crew of the Public TV had chosen 13-year-old Malena as a participant of this year's contest.
