As we gear up for the film festival circuit next year this amazing document has provided some invaluable commentary. It is available free via the nice folks at filmfestivalsecrets.com.

This footage by Jean Painlevé is just beautiful!

Thanks for the tip Christine.

This looks like a film that would be up my alley. Anyone seen it yet?

The film’s great website can be seen here. Be sure to look at their list of “tour” dates for showings near you.

Thanks for the tip Dylan.

Annyas has put together and interactive website that shows the evolution of “The Ending” of Warner Bros. movies.  Definitely worth checking out.

I think this is the second year of cinemaFEST which is going on now through June 20 at BAM in Brooklyn.  I did not make it last year and just now caught wind of this years lineup.  Not sure if we will make it, but give us some feedback if you do attend.

Opens in New York on July 9th at the IFC. Get tickets now. Also, be sure to check the list of theaters that the film is currently being shown at around the country here.

Notice the music in the trailer?  It is one of my favorite bands from my hometown via Brooklyn, The National.

Who’s seen it? What are your thoughts? I may go check it out this weekend.

For a list of theaters see the film’s website here.

Thanks for the tip Les.

If you don’t have anything going on the evening of June 1st, you should stop by Anthology Film Archives to check out The Good the Bad and the Empty.  The film documents the various uses and activities that take place on empty lots in East Flatbush.  The cool part is, that the film was part of an afterschool program at Walt Whitman Elementary School.

I’ve heard rave reviews about this film which is currently showing in NYC at the IFC Center through Thursday.
