she was listening to gershwin and eating dinner on the roof after a good day at work.

dogtooth.

this was the best, weirdest, most intense movie i've seen in a while. recommended for the not-so-faint-of-heart.

kool thing.

start bande à part, wait ~12 seconds and mute it. then start simple men. enjoy.

friday night.

 watching the andromeda strain and drawing flowers. the usual.

get the picture?

an outtake from when i was going insane trying to take pictures of my work the other day {notice the grumpface and crazyhair}. i'm certainly not a product photographer and i'm going to have to give it another shot this week. boo. {also notice the à bout de souffle new york herald tribune shirt i got from ebay 5 years ago. sorry rodarte.}

mono no aware!

my amazingly amazing friend steven is hosting the third installment of his mono no aware film fest this sunday, november 29th {tomorrow!} at the lumenhouse in brooklyn, ny. mono no aware is an international film event that includes super8mm or 16mm film format as part of that presentation. in previous years 16 film was blended with dance performance, super8 with live spoken word/audience involvement, & multi-projections with live jazz/musical devices. it is super cool and neat and fun and FREE and you should check it out.

this a photograph i took with my phone of a film shown on a computer and then ran through photo processing software and uploaded and posted it on this blog to be viewed online.

curses.

summer is nearly over and i just keep sitting inside watching movie after movie after movie.

ballet russe.

yesterday i watched a beautiful documentry on the russian ballet. i thought that the colors in this scene were especially great.

time displacement.

i'm ready for school-time to take a break and picnic-time to take over.

oh, margot.

last night i was googlin' around and i found this beautiful drawing of margot tenenbaum. i love the line work, it really captures the spirit of the character.

fly away.

i love these stills from tilt and lift, two short films by fiona tan. i wish i could find videos of them online somewhere! i'll send out some nice mail to anyone who can!

pierrot le fatigué.

i'm not ready for monday.

i think he was a little amazed.

last night i got together with a few fans and newbies to watch the grey gardens adaptation. did you get to see it? did you love it? hate it? as a superfan i thought that they did a pretty good job summing up the relationship between the two edies. although some parts seemed stretched a bit thin and i could not suspend belief enough to not think that it was drew barrymore the whole time. i'm interested to hear others opinions, so take my poll in the sidebar!
