DN EP 120: The Arrow’s Paradox – Jorge Caballero
[Audio clip: view full post to listen] It’s rare (if ever?) that a short will take neo-classical economic theory as inspiration for its themes but this week’s director Jorge Caballero found the theory a perfect synergy for his experimental film The Arrow’s Paradox (La Paradoja de Arrow), one of five Manresa’s Hall Town commissions set [...]

Rockin’ Brooklyn – Wojtek Bozyk
Rockin’ Brooklyn (2006) Everybody knows that New York City is the place to be, if you want to “make it”.
