- This Week’s Must Read: Nelson Carvajal wrote a very nice piece about a typically neglected subject: Women of the Avant-Garde, covering the work of Germaine Dulac, Maya Deren, Shirley Clarke, Janie Geiser and others.
- Speaking of Maya Deren, Making Light of It scanned and posted her “Notes, Essays, Letters.” Also, Ron Rice’s “Diaries, Notebooks, Sketches.”
- Donna k. reviews the acclaimed Holy Motors by Leos Carax, calling it the “best film I have seen in a loooong time … that explores the complications of the current cinematic landscape.”
- J.J. Murphy reviews Tim Sutton’s debut feature Pavilion and praises it for the unexpected directions the narrative springs off to.
- I’m sure most of you reading this know all about Herschell Gordon Lewis, but Michael Varrati has an extremely nice profile the notorious horror filmmaker.
- Most people don’t write about the soundtrack to the infamous Cannibal Holocaust, but Electric Sheep has an interesting piece about it.
- Light Industry has a bunch of neat animated .gifs from Abram Room’s Bed and Sofa (1926), which they screened last week.
- Hey, Don’t Just Lay There and check out this Temple of Shlock ad mat.
- Meet the first batch of 2013 interns at the Aurora Picture Show, who seem to have a diverse range of backgrounds.
- Not underground: Glenn Kenny has an extremely funny story about the old Premiere magazine publishing an atrocious comic strip drawn by David Mamet way back when.
