A sampling of movie events happening around town this week:
- Flaherty NYC will present its second monthly program of non-fiction shorts tonight at Anthology Film Archives. The lineup includes two pieces by Sylvia Schedelbauer and two by Alison Kobayashi. Pamela Cohn, who will moderate a discussion after the screening, describes Kobayashi as a “very young, Tracey Ullman-esque performance artist” who “does everything by herself–makeup, wardrobe, shooting, editing.” More info on the program here.
- Also tonight: Rooftop Films is putting on a free showcase of animated shorts at Chelsea Market. I can’t find info on the specifics of the lineup, but the Rooftop website promises free beer. Here’s the lineup.
- David Redmon and Ashley Sabin are bringing one of my favorite non-fiction films of the year, Intimidad, to MoMA this Friday and next Wednesday. You can read my review of the film from SXSW here; more info at MoMA’s website.
Next week, Karina’s boyfriend is putting a padlock on her laptop and dragging her on vacation. Two fine guest bloggers will be sitting at her virtual desk while she’s gone. On Monday, you’ll enjoy the text stylings of Ms. Pamela Cohn. Pamela’s blog Still in Motion is an excellent resource for in-depth conversations with documentary filmmakers; she’s also a filmmaker and a contributor to a number of sites. And on Tuesday, drop by and spend some time with Christopher Campbell, who you may recognize from his bylines on The Reeler and Cinematical. Posting will be light on Wednesday-Friday due to the holiday, but we’ll be back on our regular schedule Monday the 26th.
