Any "Sarristes" still aboard? A curious article in today's Times, by one Michael Powell (no less!), on Andrew Sarris -- who has unfortunately parted ways with...
... I always find it intriguing when people in and around NY (like, say, a writer for the NY Times) use this put-down, as if somehow NY is a place where people...
... Well, it might be because theaters have matinees only on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday and few theatergoers these days--including critics--go to three...
It was kind of horrifying passing Manhattan's Symphony Space/Leonard Nimoy Thalia complex and seeing the poster: "Essential Art House ... 12 masterpieces from...

Here's the thing... You cannot store chemical prints in pristine condition forever. I agree with you, there can be a special density to 35mm that digital...
... Peter, digital storage of motion picture material is a huge can of worms. It can be tremendously expensive and require copying over every couple of years...
Thank you very much, Joe. I will contact you shortly about that pdf file. At the moment, I'd like to leave open a question about archiving: if chemical prints...

Would it be off-mission to solicit opinions about Film Forum(NYC)'s upcoming Brit Noir series? I hope that there are enough list members in or near to NYC to...
I wish I were living in New York since I've seen many of these films on VHS and would love to view some 25mm prints. I would say, that the whole season is...
Anthology Film Archives also has an interesting series here this month, "One-Eyed Auteurs" -- an idea so obvious that I would never have thought of it....

This is really appalling, Blake. I've just mentioned on shadowplay the collapse of former British University film societies where many of us received our film...
It's raining Brazilian films in NYC. Does anyone have any thoughts on the films in this new series? I know that Bressane has a reputation, though I haven't...
I would vehemently reccomend against any fiction except for the Bressane and ROMANCE (which I haven't seen, but some good people seem to like). But I don't...
... Um, them's fighting words w/r/t THE BOSS OF IT ALL, which I consider to be one of the more underrated films of the past few years. I'd be curious to see...
