DN SXSW2011: Attenberg – Athina Rachel Tsangari
[Audio clip: view full post to listen] Athina Rachel Tsangari’s Attenberg has been a critical favourite (see our review) since its premiere at the Venice Film Festival last year. I got to see Attenberg in Tsangari’s spiritual film home, SXSW (she’s a former Austinite & co-founder of the Cinematexas film festival), and also share a [...]
The Vimeo iPhone App is Here!
“About bloody time!” were the words that first sprung to mind when I found out Vimeo have finally released an app for the iPhone, quickly followed by “Oooo” when I realised they’d gone beyond a simple screening room model and included production tools as well. It’s true that for a while now you’ve been able [...]
DN SXSW2011: Way of the Morris – Tim Plester
[Audio clip: view full post to listen] Despite living a 50 minute train ride from my house, it took, two planes and the SXSW film festival for me to catch up with actor and director Tim Plester. Since we last spoke about his short English Language with English Subtitles, Tim’s been hard at work on [...]
DN SXSW2011: Green – Sophia Takal & Lawrence Michael Levine
[Audio clip: view full post to listen] For her directorial debut feature Green, Sophia Takal explores the fraught ground of jealousy and insecurity, and the tricks a mind can play when consumed by both. I joined Sophia and producer/actor Lawrence Michael Levine at SXSW to discuss subverting horror tropes, whilst striking a balance between script [...]
The Bicycle City Trailer
We don’t often post trailers on DN but as a daily bike rider myself, Greg Sucharew’s upcoming feature documentary The Bicycle City tapped into my pedal kinship, and also looks like an interesting take on solutions to self-generate progression out of poverty. The film’s currently in post, but hopefully we’ll get an early look as [...]
DN SXSW2011: Hit So Hard – David Ebersole & Todd Hughes
[Audio clip: view full post to listen] Around the time of the band’s Celebrity Skin album, original Hole drummer Patty Schemel disappeared from the rocket ride of musical stardom and into a darker world of drug addicition and homelessness, from which she eventually emerged stronger, wiser and miraculously with her sense of humour fully intact. [...]
DN SXSW2011: Dragonslayer – Tristan Patterson
[Audio clip: view full post to listen] With its solid 10 track album structure, SXSW Best Documentary Feature & Best Cinematography winner Dragonslayer lets us vicariously live in the world of Fullerton skater Josh Sandoval – or ‘Screech’ to those who know him – as he skates pools and battles with the balance between new [...]
The Look
Do I really need a reason to post a Metronomy video? Well if stop-motion pigeons in bumper cars isn’t reason enough, then I don’t know what is!
Kickstart To Our Bright White Hearts
Ayz Waraich’s thriller White Red Panic was a example of how far you can push semi-pro gear if you’re a creative and skilled director. His heartbreaking short This Place I Hurt To Be confirmed that he truly knows how to tap deep into the cinematic emotional vein, so we all know that Ayz is a [...]
Viliam
“Viliam didn’t like anything about this life at all. One day….a pencil fell out of his father’s pocket! And the little Viliam started to draw and draw and draw.” Viliam from veronika obertova on Vimeo.
