I just saw "In the Realms of the Unreal"... a documentary about recluse artist Henry Darger... with the special treat of a title sequence/lettering by Chris Ware.
opens a number of questions that an 80 minute movie can't answer... but see it! quite interesting!

I saw it at the MFA in Boston, which might be your best bet for finding it (at a museum's film program, in your respective city)... my quick web search isn't producing many useful links, except for an interesting book review on Salon (http://www.salon.com/books/revi... which I didn't know about...
the filmmaker/director is Jessica Yu... maybe searching for her could produce some helpful results?

I saw a lot of his work at the folk art museum in NYC.
