We’ve been lucky enough to receive several anonymous (and straight ‘nymous) tips to the [email protected] account.
Tonight, at the MU Museum, in a room crowded with as many ancient Greek replicas as there were people, amidst pickled hors d’oeuvres, and among so many supporters and smiles, we all celebrated the long journey to completing Caoimhghin O Fraithile’s installations. The highlight was hearing the CARE Gallery students talk about the impact that working with the artist has had on them, and Alec Barker—Museum Director—reflect on the quixotic and liminal nature of today’s “leap day”… Then off to RJI to kick off the Hi-Def Academy with a terrific group of students and teachers!
Earlier today, Sarah H. sent in this poetic note:
Thursday afternoon, waiting for first film. It feels like a haiku kind of day.
wine spritzers for lunch
maybe film, maybe ‘nother spritz
i am nonfiction
Andy H. attended the Based on a True Story conference, where he filed these three pithy dispatches in rapid succession:
- When you think moderation, you think [panel moderator] Brad Prager.
- A lot of this first panel comes back to the filmmakers discussing how formal choices generate emotions in the audience.
- Director: fourteen months in editing for an eighty-minute film.
I like the way that film enthusiasts look. I like the way they hold their bodies and the poses they make. I think that is why I like films. Part of why. Film enthusiasts always look like they have been hiding under rocks mulling over film strips and the light of day is too much to bear. They wear the most practical clothing to indicate that their concerns are elsewhere.
