Built To Spill: “You Were Right”
Play of the day
Red Desert (1964) Michelangelo Antonioni
This film had a major impact on me when I first saw it at the age of 18. Especially love the look, palette and pacing.
A Walk into the Sea: the Danny Williams Story and the Warhol Factory
I had the great fortune of lending a hand on this film. Esther is a dear friend and this film is an amazing exploration into the life and disappearance of her Uncle Danny. Earlier tonight I caught the film on the Sundance Channel. It is a moving piece of work that’s hauntingly beautiful. Props to t. griffin for the score and Danny’s own films are breath taking.
RiP! A Remix Manifesto
Pitchfork is showing Brett Gaylor’s film RiP! A Remix Manifesto this week for FREE. I got to see the film at SXSW and loved it. It is a great overview of some of the issues surrounding copyright in the US. Well worth a watch. The film is split into sections on the Pitchfork site.
