Aesthetics
Can anyone harness enough courage to raise such a question? It is as if to ask about chances of survival of a live organism that is ridded of its heart. Or both lungs. This live (and very much so!) organism stands for cinema, whereas it is the film festivals that constitute the heart and the lungs. Although "the death of the cinema" has long b...

New York: Open Roads: New Italian Cinema, 2012
That foreign language films have hard time finding an audience in the United is no secrete unless they are programmed for a captive diaspora audience in specialty houses as is the case for most films for the Indian language speaking audience. After all as the L.A. Times reported recently the top five grossing foreign films did not generate more than $40 million in each of the last four years while films made in the US generated billions abr...

The cinezoic era is not codified in any textbook. It does not exist but in the heads of dreamers. The Udine native Stefania Rota thought about molding it into the guise of a video named "Cinezoïque". It started out in December as a site-specific installation for Udine's Cinema Visionario and two months later landed on the Web (http://vimeo.com/37106377); in less than 24 hours, this video reached more than 10.000 views, launching Stefania Rota's name on the Internet, allowing her to ...
Director Gabriel Achim
When I met Romanian director Gabriel Achim, I asked him about his film and he said this: 'Well, if you like intellectual porn then you will like my film...' Well, what a pitch because I couldn’t wait to see it, and indeed ADALBERT'S DREAM (Visul Lui Adalbert, 2011) IS ‘Intellectual Porn’… Read below to get to first base. But to go all the way, you’ll have to see the film!
ME: why is it called ‘Adalb...

“Cinema Perpetuum mobile” is an international
cinema cooperation festival that gathers independent film makers and
their groups to work under the theme of the perpetual motion.
The project is aimed at cinema cultural diversity
and the promotion of independent auteur movies. Festival co-operation
aims to cover all countries and continents from Scandinavia to the Cape
of Good Hope and from Patagonia to the Aleutian Islands.
“Cinema Perpetuum mobile” is a non-commercial project,
so the organizers aspire only to cover their expenses on the festival
while the participants whose films are included into a short list can
pretend to receive dividends in case the collection of “Perpetuum
Mobile” films is shown in cinemas after festival. The participation in
our cinema cooperation festival is free. Organizer of the festival is an
independent association «Kinaklub.org», principles of which are
cinemania, self-organization, decentralization, mutual aid.

The 13th annual Film Noir festival concluded its edgy three week run at the hallowed Egyptian Theater in Hollywood on April 20, with the stomach churning identity theft thriller, "My Name is Julia Ross", (Columbia, 1945) starring Nina Foch in a memorable role as a kidnapped-for-murder blonde in an eerie Gothic mansion on the cliffs over the sea in Cornwall, U.K. While this is really more of a Gothic murder mystery than a pure noir, contract director Joseph...

I’ve been doing a bit of phd work this morning and one of the areas I’ve been researching is on film authorship and I appear to have fallen in love with that word ‘auteur’ its such a rich, fresh word and very French (when you say it you kind of feel as if you live there).
When I first started researching this area, I used to think that the word applied only exclusively to film directors, but - to varying degrees – I’d argue that we are all actually authors whether we ar...
