i'm going to try to catch a zuul or two. i think i'd be more excited about dcp if more of the selections weren't things you can catch at ifc around the corner every weekend midnight, yknow? (did 5 easy pieces though)

I didn't know IFC was showing those films digitally yet... tho apparently we may never see 35mm prints of any of them again. Tragic.
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 7 March 2012 16:06 (twelve years ago) link
I doubt I will end up seeing any of them. The one scheduled for today is probably the most appealing to me but I don't feel like going.BAM is showing Shoah on March 25th. The director will be there. It is one screening, with breaks. I can't make it. Now I am thinking of just getting it on DVD. Apparently it's available as an import from South Korea.
― MrDasher, Wednesday, 7 March 2012 16:10 (twelve years ago) link
you might check if any NYC stores will rent you OOP Shoah discs.
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 7 March 2012 16:18 (twelve years ago) link
Do you have any suggestions as to where? On the one hand, I don't know that it is something I would want to watch repeatedly, so renting might be a better way to go.On the other, I guess I like the idea of having it so I could just watch when I find the time and the correct mood, rather than being "forced" to watch in an alloted time period.

well, I saw it in two big chunks at the Cinema Studio theater in the late '80s, so no sympathy there. :)
These guys have a lotta stuff:

― Challoperator's Manual (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 8 March 2012 21:38 (twelve years ago) link
at the risk of making this the "all purpose bicoastal ilx film snob thread" apparently LA is also getting the queer/art/film series here too? john cameron mitchell intro'ing 'zero de conduite' later this month
― althea and (donna rouge), Thursday, 8 March 2012 22:10 (twelve years ago) link
reallY? Where is that?
― Luomas (admrl), Thursday, 8 March 2012 22:11 (twelve years ago) link
cinefamily as well
― althea and (donna rouge), Thursday, 8 March 2012 22:12 (twelve years ago) link
jeeez. Maybe I should finally join Cinefamily. Going to any more Zulawski this w/e? Do we need an LA film snob thread?
― Luomas (admrl), Thursday, 8 March 2012 22:13 (twelve years ago) link
i definitely plan on going to 'on the silver globe' on sunday and possibly 'third part of the night' tomorrow (my friend in nyc who's seen 'em highly recommends both), probably will catch a few others as well
― althea and (donna rouge), Thursday, 8 March 2012 22:18 (twelve years ago) link
I want to go to those too, but they will be last-minute calls, provided they don't sell out
― Luomas (admrl), Thursday, 8 March 2012 22:20 (twelve years ago) link
well, I saw Pintilie's Reenactment tonight, a pretty hardcore political allegory of 1968 Romania... except for the first 12 minutes, thx to MoMA's idiotic tendency to seat people in the standby line after the film has begun. Fortunately it's all on YT:

amazing, wasn't it... i'd forgotten nearly all of it since '92
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Sunday, 11 March 2012 14:19 (twelve years ago) link
caught possession at bam yesterday. hard to have thoughts on this one, other that i couldn't help wishing i was watching ghostbusters the whole time.
― snack, Sunday, 11 March 2012 14:20 (twelve years ago) link
otm, irrespective of what film you are talking about
― john-claude van donne (schlump), Sunday, 11 March 2012 14:23 (twelve years ago) link
skipped Possession, I guess cuz I never liked Ghostbusters (that one time I saw it 28 years ago).
anyone seen Attenberg?
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Monday, 12 March 2012 20:18 (twelve years ago) link
Yes, I've seen it. It is...of interest.
― Luomas (admrl), Monday, 12 March 2012 20:55 (twelve years ago) link
Is the Terrence Davies retrospective on at BAM?
― Luomas (admrl), Monday, 12 March 2012 20:56 (twelve years ago) link

― Luomas (admrl), Monday, 12 March 2012 21:12 (twelve years ago) link

― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Monday, 12 March 2012 21:21 (twelve years ago) link
If you've never seen Distant Voices Still Lives, you are in for a treat
― Luomas (admrl), Monday, 12 March 2012 21:39 (twelve years ago) link
Haven't seen Attenberg but I worked a little bit on and can briefly be seen in her prior feature.

LA correspondent reporting:
impending bela tarr retro at cinefamily, via twitter (can't even fathom sitting seven hours in those seats tho, ugh)
and speaking of dutch shorts, friend of mine helped arrange a screening of '70s dutch A-G films at EPFC later this month: https://www.facebook.com/#!/events/410599338955441/
(if i made a separate LA film snob thread would anyone post on it besides me and admrl? there's been some great stuff here lately!)
― althea and (donna rouge), Friday, 16 March 2012 19:37 (twelve years ago) link
Screw it, let's take this thread.
Jon Jost also here (LA) this weekend, I'm hoping to make some of the shows. Donna, we surely have some friends in common...
― hbo with a shotgun (admrl), Friday, 16 March 2012 19:46 (twelve years ago) link
Those Dutch shorts look great, I know Franz Zwartjes but the rest are an intriguing mystery
― hbo with a shotgun (admrl), Friday, 16 March 2012 19:47 (twelve years ago) link
