Every renowned art filmmaker should have an "Adventures Of Iron Pussy" in their closet.

Tomorrow at Cinefamily (Silent Movie Theatre) in Los Angeles:
1/6 @ 5pm / SERIES: a guy named joe The Short Films of Apichatpong Weerasethakul Not only has Weerasethakul made numerous, ecstatically gorgeous features, but he has produced over half a dozen shorts that have toured the world’s film festivals to great acclaim. Joe maintains that the bulk of his "craft" exists in the form of these video shorts and installations, seeing them as the best avenue to evoke a single mood. The Cinefamily is proud to present the first major Los Angeles retrospective of these key works in the oeuvre of a major new auteur. This program will include:
* Malee And The Boy, in which a 10-year-old controls the use of the microphone, as he gathers sounds in various Bangkok street locations. * In The Anthem, Joe lampoons ritual-as-propaganda by creating "the Cinema Anthem that praises and blesses the approaching feature for each screening, " * Thirdworld, in which he blasts the West's "exotic" view of Thailand by portraying a peaceful island through intentionally unprofessional videography. * 0116643225059 uses an overseas phone call to join the disparate worlds of Joe's Chicago schooling and Khon Kaen family home through eerily silhouetted childhood pictures of his mother. * My Mother's Garden is a silent, venomous juxtaposition of an ornate jewelry collection with carnivorous plants.
Also showing: Windows, Relentless Fury Of The Pounding Waves, Worldly Desires, Ghost Of Asia. Dir: Apichatpong Weerasethakul, 1997-2007, 35mm and Beta, ca. 180 min. Tickets - $10

i dunno if there are any famous london critics rly. the really famous ones, johnny vaughn and jonathan ross, don't actually see the films i don't think. anthony lane actually lives couple miles from where i sit, in cambridge. i dunno where he sees his films though.
