One of those scathing Armond White articles made me watch El Cielo Dividido (Broken Sky) by Julian Hernandez and I have to say that I liked it. There is nothing artier than slow fancy camerawork showing Mexican twinks gazing at each other all over the DF for 140 minutes with no dialog whatsoever. Liked the second half of Tropical Malady? You need to watch this right now. He has a new one that (from what I have read online) seems to be a Latin version of Apichatpong's queer classic.

At the NYFF tonight they showed an intro George Kuchar recorded at the hospice for the two videos they showed. "It's a one-way ticket here," he said, worrying about his lighting.

Werner Schroeter, anyone? Looks like only xyzzzz has posted much about him in the past. Anyway, cherished by Fassbinder, and subject of what looks to be a complete MoMA retro soon:

I saw The Death of Maria Malibran last night, and Jarman is a closer comp than Greenaway, but not really.
