LA correspondent reporting:
impending bela tarr retro at cinefamily, via twitter (can't even fathom sitting seven hours in those seats tho, ugh)
and speaking of dutch shorts, friend of mine helped arrange a screening of '70s dutch A-G films at EPFC later this month: https://www.facebook.com/#!/events/410599338955441/
(if i made a separate LA film snob thread would anyone post on it besides me and admrl? there's been some great stuff here lately!)

Screw it, let's take this thread.
Jon Jost also here (LA) this weekend, I'm hoping to make some of the shows. Donna, we surely have some friends in common...

Those Dutch shorts look great, I know Franz Zwartjes but the rest are an intriguing mystery
― hbo with a shotgun (admrl), Friday, 16 March 2012 19:47 (twelve years ago) link
Also you guys can report back on the Menkes. I've seen Phantom Love and Bloody Child, but nothing else.
i bought a ticket for the saturday jost thing
i missed the whole menkes series :/
do you know m4rcy?
― althea and (donna rouge), Friday, 16 March 2012 19:48 (twelve years ago) link
I've never met her but I know who she is, know her ex and am good friends with one of her co-workers.
I'll probably be at Angel City, too haha
― hbo with a shotgun (admrl), Friday, 16 March 2012 19:50 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, i know some of the "film scene" here through her and m4rk i guess
― althea and (donna rouge), Friday, 16 March 2012 19:56 (twelve years ago) link
I've come to like our "film scene"! There's a lot of good people, it's exciting, etc. Things are happening. I don't really know any other similar scenes so I can't really make comparisons, but it seems healthy, diverse

Emailing u
so do we need to change ttitle to "bicoastal"?
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Friday, 16 March 2012 20:13 (twelve years ago) link
that might be nice, you know? But I am only kidding, we should honor your thread if you want to keep it that way. I try to have one eye on NYC and see what you guys are being treated to. Seems like we have a lot of parallel programs (Zulawski, Menkes, etc) right now.

Message from Original Poster: yes LA film snobs are of course welcome to use this thread, no need to change title. Eric is welcome too.

isn't LACMA the place I read about in the Thom Andersen FC article, where the admin/donors now force them to do staged readings of Reservoir Dogs instead of showing international retros?
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Friday, 16 March 2012 20:27 (twelve years ago) link
Eric now cops to hating movies, he is purged.
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Friday, 16 March 2012 20:28 (twelve years ago) link
Sounds about right
xp
― hbo with a shotgun (admrl), Friday, 16 March 2012 20:29 (twelve years ago) link
it really is a shame that LACMA's film screenings are so lackluster now, the theater itself is terrific
lol i missed the giant rock en route
― althea and (donna rouge), Friday, 16 March 2012 21:00 (twelve years ago) link
I'm having trouble watching movies myself these days but I did manage to see This Is Not a Film

been at this year's orphan film symposium the past few days - some highlights so far:
- crazy german cola ads from the 70s (some of which featured donna summer)- a panel all about motherhood and the family, inc. educational films about lamaze from france and the USSR- evangelical puppet film about the birth of jesus/the end of the world directed by frank tashlin (!!!)- a great short film i'd seen before about a black maid daydreaming about exacting fatal revenge on her pervy white employer, set to nina simone's 'pirate jenny'

christ, cinefamily needs to get someone to write better program copy. "the aching beauty of bela tarr"? "bone-chillingly stark beauty"? barf.
― y'tulip, y'pea-brained earwig (donna rouge), Monday, 16 April 2012 19:02 (twelve years ago) link
also 9:45 is awfully late to be starting a screening of 'werckmeister' but i have never seen it so
