Underground Film Links: June 16, 2013
By Mike Everleth ⋅ June 16, 2013
- This week’s Must Read is one that I missed from awhile back: The Creators Project interviewed Moviate’s Michael Robinson about how his experimental filmmaking style has been applied to his music video-making career. It’s a great, in-depth read about Robinson’s approach to combining images with sound.
- GoreGirl reviews the work of Kenneth Anger, and she includes lots of lovely screenshots from Fireworks and more.
- The Metro News has a nice article on the first ever Winnipeg Underground Film Festival going on this weekend.
- Filmmaker Magazine interviewed Calvin Lee Reeder about his second feature film, The Rambler, and working with an actual name star for the first time, Dermot Mulroney.
- Here’s an interesting oldie, but a goodie: Fred Camper raves about the inventive work of cult movie director Larry Cohen. What’s especially interesting here is that I read Camper’s intro paragraph before realizing article was from 1987! (h/t CUFF’s Bryan Wendorf)
- Fandor takes a look at the eclectic career of Curtis Harrington, which began in the underground film world and morphed into the TV and genre movie worlds.
- Documentary filmmaker Jessica Oreck needs men. No, not like that…
- Not necessarily underground: Apparently in England, there’s a Hot Tub Cinema club where people go watch movies while, yes, sitting in hot tubs. Great idea! (for non-germaphobes.)
- 366 Weird Movies takes a look at 1988’s Hell Comes to Frogtown, which features the feature film starring debut of Rowdy Roddy Piper.
- Not sure if this will become a regular feature, but I’d like it to be. Here are some Facebook pages, I’d like you to like: Everything Is Forever, the new film from the Random Lunacy crew; and the new page for filmmaker Mr. Young.
- Not underground: My pal Michael Neno reviews the obscure 1933 film Gabriel Over the White House, which argued for a pro-totalitarian U.S.
- Not underground: I’m sure most people saw those weird “movies are imploding” comments by Spielberg and Lucas, but Professor Chutry provides the most interesting take on the hubbub.
