New trailer announced on you tube channel.
Downstairs Productions did a great job with it including making the commercials interesting. Does any one know what happened to the podcast and downstairs Productions?
Found some info online about this... it played for 7 weeks at a single cinema in Paris in early 2002, selling less than 2000 tickets. It's supposedly about 220 mins long, an hour longer than the commercially released cut. Some letterboxd reviews suggest that this cut was also screened a few times in 2017 in France. It's not available on any DVD or Blu-Ray edition and it seems likely to me that only a single print exists. Can anyone please give me any information about it?
I'm trying my 2nd attempt to watch the Arrow Academy box of Jacques Rivette's "Out 1" . I normally watch quite a bit of 'arthouse' and I really like Trauffaut but there's only so much I can take of the theater troupe in the first hour and there are 12 more to go!
Any suggestions on how to appreciate this experience? Or, proportional to the length of the film, am I complaining too soon?
Never hear anyone talk about this so I'd love to hear thoughts on the film.
While looking for texts by Jacques Rivette, I stumbled upon this really incredible online magazine "Sabzian". While it is based in Belgium, many(most?) articles are in English and cover a wide range of topics related to films and thinking about film, including many translations (for example this great in-depth eassay about Adorno's relationship to cinema).
I am really amazed that a site like this exists, does anyone know any other online film magazines like this?
We were two of the lead negotiators of the Paris Climate Agreement, and continue to dedicate our careers and lives to stopping the climate crisis -- Christiana was Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) 2010-2016 and Tom was a senior member of the UN team that created the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, signed by 195 countries in 2015. AUA!
** We are at a critical decision making moment that will determine the entire future of humanity.** This year and the next ten are going to have more of an impact on the future of the Earth than any other decade in history. We are facing either a world of breakdown and conflict, of floods and disasters that will be close to home more quickly than we could have imagined, where hope has slipped away - OR - a world that is renewed, where forests have regrown and cities are remade, where your children are not afraid to have children of their own. That reality is overwhelming for most of us because we don't know what to do about it.
While we do not deny that daunting challenges are ahead, we do not agree with the idea that we are somehow already doomed to a devastating future or that humanity is somehow flawed and incapable of responding to big problems; we are fully convinced that we can avert the worst of the climate crisis through a change of mindset and the ten actions outlined in our book.
We are really excited to be here today to answer all of your questions around climate change and creating together the world that we all hope to see -- and live in! We will be here at 4:30pm ET today, so ask us anything and let's talk about how to wade through all of the existing news and information about climate issues, and really distill it all down so we can each create our own action plans to collectively survive the climate crisis.
You can see more on our book at https://globaloptimism.com and also connect with us further on Twitter at @cfigueres and @tomcarnac. We also host a podcast called Outrage & Optimism where we interview journalists and global leaders on how to drive social and environmental change.
Again, our guests will be here at 4:30pm ET (21:30 UT).
I've been on a bit of a Lynch adventure recently, finally making my way through his filmography after nearly binge-watching Twin Peaks back in November.
Mulholland Drive was my latest watch, I watched it, enjoyed it then went to sleep. A week later to the day while working I heard in my mind "no hay banda" and suddenly the film made sense.
This isn't the first time that's happened with a Lynch for me, ideas, scenes, phrases will in a flash suddenly open my understanding on a deeper level of the work.
Does anyone else get this feeling? It's quite unlike any other work of art for me.
Good afternoon,
You might be interested in checking out my newsletter, French Weird, which I've just launched. I'm a writer based in Paris, France and I'm going to be investigating and thinking about the extent to which contemporary French writing sits within a 'Weird Lit' tradition, and also how France and French culture can be viewed, weirdly, a little more broadly. ST Joshi talked about a weird, "mode of perception", I like that idea.
Please do take a look and let me know what you think.
All the very best,
Russell
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
