Realism(s) #28, or: it's everything you can't say

J'entends plus la guitare - Philippe Garrel, 1991, 35mm

An aside, or: acontecimientos 2012

-

Lumière's Acontecimientos 2012 has been published: my short list, Edwin's, Francisco's customarily comprehensive annual review, and two very moving entries: Gina's, and Boris Nelepo's (inc. a tribute to Jorge, a baker and cinephile more familiarly known to many of us as fitz, who died last year. R.I.P.).

Traveling Light

-

Later this month, Gina Telaroli's Traveling Light will be projected for the first time outside the U.S., in Bradford. Highly recommended. Also screening there: James Benning's One Way Boogie Woogie 2012, Peter Schreiner's Fata Morgana, and a crash-course in Austrian experimental film, curated by Brigitta Burger-Utzer. In London: a restored print of Sleep; Star Spangled to Death; and an uncommonly good run of rep screenings at BFI Southbank: Sharits & Le Grice, twin-projected, La cicatrice intérieure, Toni, An Inn in Tokyo, a L’Herbier season, and Le cercle rouge, amongst others.
