instrument: 10 years with fugazi a film by jem cohen
the film covers the band from 1987-1996. the project mixes sync-sound, 16mm, super-8 video and a wide range of archival formats. a must-see for any one who looked at a skateboard in the 90’s but couldn’t afford one. you can purchase the dvd here for $16, now that you can afford. by xy

SEX, DRUGS AND SWINDLES: boogie woogie a peak at the cordial art world
a cast of characters (including a stint by charlotte rampling) devouring each other in a small world awash with big money. set against the backdrop of contemporary London and the international art scene, it casts an eye over the appetites and morality of some of its major players.’ saw the film finally tonight, and it’s a hilarious and observant film. if you have had any contact with the art world in anyway, you are bound to encounter a stereotype of one in here. a “must be considered” film to be sure. by dd

prada: this fall’s creatures
ok, so i first saw this fall’s little fashion film for prada with the introduction about how sexy it was, i was not impressed with much more than the coloring. but i must say, i love a different approach to sexiness; slow movement, extreme delicacy, and being in your own world. worth the 1:19 of your life. by kl
