• Steven Shaviro on Slow Cinema Vs Fast Films.
• Friend of Orson Kerry Bradshaw (who runs a secret cinema in Bath/Bristol) has just finished making her five-months-in-the-making short documentary about young asylum seekers for Rasp. Go and watch it; it’s free!
• Two excellent podcasts: The Business and Creative Screenwriting Magazine.
• Apichatpong ‘call me Joe’ Weerasethakul has taken the 2010 Palme d’Or for Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives. Orson hasn’t seen the film yet, of course, but it’s bloody brilliant that Weerasethakul has gained this kind of exposure. If you haven’t seen it, drop everything and find a copy of Syndromes and a Century, a Lynchian, science fictional, quietist, meditative fantasia that is one of those films critics can’t find the right words for, as I have just demonstrated.
• Strange casting? Stranger casting.
