Re: Palm Springs International Film Festival
I've got some thoughts on things I've seen here: http://bit.ly/89spFY
In short though - The White Ribbon, Will Not Stop There, and the Red Riding Trilogy are probably the three best of what I've seen that'll be at Palm Springs this year.

Re: Palm Springs International Film Festival
I thought About Elly was very good. Samson and Delilah was also interesting - but I didn't love it as much as some. Didn't love Airdoll (though I loved his last film, Still Walking). Unfortunately haven't seen the others. Notes on everything I've seen from Palm Springs this year are here - http://bit.ly/89spFY" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Eamon, Hipsters, The Girl (lensed by Hoyte Van Hoytema who had done the cinemtography for Let the Right one in), I killed my Mother (ambitious yet daring first film by 20 year old Canadian Xavier Dolan, it's Canada's official submission to Oscars), Involuntary, The Milk of Sorrow (won the best price in Berlin, highly interesting)

Re: Palm Springs International Film Festival
The Milk of Sorrow was probably my favorite of those I saw at the AFI Fest. For me, lovely as character study, as cultural study, as fish-out-of-water, as romance... Try to see it.

Re: Palm Springs International Film Festival
IMDB has been blocked in China for the past 3 weeks, and I'm wondering if that is somehow related.Dadapass wrote:and here's why
So China pulled films from the Sydney Film Festival due to a doc about the Uighurs and now pulls the same gambit on the Palm Springs Festival due to a doc on the Dalai Lama. Both banned docs will probably turn up in pirated DVDs in China by the end of the year.

Re: Palm Springs International Film Festival
Here is an article on why China blocked the site. A local paper claims the screening of the film was the reason why IMDb was blocked but it was most likely a contributing factor.
On a related note. Apparently filmmaker Dhondup Wangchen was sentenced to six years in prison on 12/28/09 for making a film about Tibet. Link

Re: Palm Springs International Film Festival
Thanks for that Dad.
Although the article mostly speculates that it's related to those docs and the on-going blocking of social networking sites. It does however mention that neither film has a comment yet on IMDb.
My guess is the gov't is probably looking into ways to block "offending" pages at sites like IMDb rather than bludgeoning the whole site. So I expect it will be back on-line in a few weeks/months, but it's fairly unpredictable.
For now, I'm using Allmovie.com as my IMDb backup. Unless anyone has a better site to check on running times, cast, release year, get reviews, etc.
These days, not many news sites are banned in the PRC (some BBC, Andrew Sullivan, maybe the LA Times still). But YouTube, Facebook, Twitter have been disconnected for months, since the XinJiang riots (and the whole province is without internet service since then, except for limited, monitored business use).

SXSW 2010
Is anyone else here?
So far the highlights for me are Korine's Trash Humpers, Katz's Cold Weather and Cyrus by the Duplass brothers. I also hear great things about Dogworth, Enter the Void and Passenger Pigeons.
The trade show is excellent, be sure to check out the Kodak booth to sign up for the chance to shoot 16mm on the streets of Austin, I did, and it was a blast.

Re: SXSW 2010
Passenger Pigeons is by far the best narrative film I've seen so far here, but unfortunately the distribution might not be there. David Gordon Green was in attendance and gave his stamp of approval to the director. It had a unique vibe, and incredible script.
Also, the best film in general is getting a screening soon at Lincoln Center, it's a film adaption of Jerome Robbin's NY Export: Opus Jazz. Be sure to catch this one next week March 24th on PBS if you can't see it at the cinema, it'll look great on HD too.

Re: SXSW 2010
The buzz is good on Red, White and Blue. I haven't seen it, but I'll try before things wrap here. The film seems like basic narrative, and is likely to get a general release, so it wasn't high on my list of things to see.

Re: SXSW 2010
For anyone interested in a great movie going experience, SXSW is quite extraordinary. Austin is a wonderful city for a visit for one thing, and the mix of a interactive and film trade floor makes for a great experience. Filmmakers are approachable, the the panel discussions unique and not quite mobbed like the NY Film Festival. Anyway, of the things I saw and liked, here is my top ten in some kind of order. (I provided the same list with links in the 2010 thread as I think it would get more exposure there.)
NY Export: Opus Jazz
Passenger Pigeons
Annie Goes Boating (a short film shot in 3D)
Putty Hill
I Miss (experimental short)
Audrey the Trainwreck
Dogtooth
Trash Humpers
Strange Powers: Stephen Merritt and the Magnetic Fields
Cold Weather
and begrudgingly, Tiny Furniture.
I missed Philip the Fossil, The Myth of the American Sleepover and Marwencol (winner of the documentary award) which seemed promising but time did not permit.
Also, The Lost World (1925) with a live score by the Golden Hornet Project, and The Unknown (1927) with a live score by The Invincible Czars. Additionally there were some great panel discussions with David Gordon Green, Andrew Bujalski, a stunning Melissa Auf der Maur (who has made a film to coincide with her new album which is on tour soon), and I had a brief chat with Jonathan Rosenbaum.
PS The Alamo movie theaters are a great place to see a movie.

Dogtooth is good? It's playing here tonight and I was kind of on the fence, but I'll probably head down there for it now.

Yes, Dogtooth is certainly worth seeing. Probably more deeply weird than more feted 'provocations' from Cannes last year. It may well be worth discussing once some more people have seen it.

Re: SXSW 2010
Good call on Dogtooth, bearcuborg.
It had a superficial resemblance, I thought, to Haneke, only if he had eaten a bag full of 'shrooms. It had similar themes as The White Ribbon in its examination of a self-contained social unit (in this case a family instead of a village) undergoing a breakdown of authority, with particular emphasis on the way children are affected. And while I don't think this would hold up to any rigorous scrutiny, I even thought Lanthimos' technique bore some resemblance to Haneke, especially in the way sudden, graphic violence is presented.
That said, there's certainly a playfulness (perverse as it is) to the proceedings that struck me as unique. It is a funny film, but the absurdities are presented so straightforwardly that they were as likely to make me wince as laugh. And while I'm not sure what I took away from it, I feel that there are rather distressing implications to the film that would become clearer with repeated viewings (or that may be more clear if one is Greek).
Anyway, I enjoyed it and may try to catch it again if/when it opens for real (the screening I caught was part of the EU Film Festival at the Gene Siskel Film Center).

Re: SXSW 2010
One of the aspects of the film that I found funniest, most disturbing and most interesting was its consideration of how language can be used as a means of social control, both in terms of how effective a tool it can be and how devilishly difficult it is to stop it slipping away from / turning back on you.
Lanthimos has made a couple of earlier features, but I don't know anything about them. Has anybody seen them?

The Toronto International Film Festival is perhaps the biggest film event of the year but it functions more as a film market than as a film festival. Its main awards are voted on by the filmgoing public.
Audience Award: The King's Speech - Tom Hooper
And the year is done!
