This week at work my film students are in three crews with each of the crews shooting a film a week for the next three weeks. A month from now there will be 9 new short films made. It is a busy and fun time of year.
For Micro Monday I’d recommend @grayareas for some interesting thoughts on cinema.
Dew on the roof of the car this morning.
New leaves and old leaves.
Watching Agnès Varda’s 1993 documentary THE YOUNG GIRLS TURN 25 on The Criterion Channel. 🎥
Finally watching Jacques Demy’s 1967 musical THE YOUNG GIRLS OF ROCHEFORT on The Criterion Channel. 🎥
Unsettling, strange, and bold, HIGH LIFE is Claire Denis working in her own cinematic way. A thought-provoking film in the tradition of Marker in exploring ideas, memory, and morality through a distorted lens that looks into our soul.
About to see my most-anticipated film of the year, Claire Denis’ strange sci-fi HIGH LIFE in the theatre. 🎥
Signs of spring.
