In the opening image of “I Saw the TV Glow” the camera moves slowly down the middle of a suburban street. Dusk, it’s dark, but the sky has a hint of electric blue, as the camera passes over children’s chalk drawings that pop from the pavement like incandescent lights toward a neon-lit ice cream truck playing a slowed down children’s tune. This establishing shot embodies the magical, but slightly eery tone of the first half of the film and the childhood world of Owen, who we cut to watching television in the dark.
While on the Toolkit podcast, writer/director Jane Schoenbrun told IndieWire they drew inspiration from the sense of “controlled chaos” they felt watching ‘90s Nickelodeon programming geared to older kids — remember Snick? That line between feeling “scared, but not in danger” watching teen genre shows when you are a touch too young. While Schoenbrun...

The Visions du Réel film festival’s greatest singularity is two-fold: its lack of pretense and judicious curatorial eye. The first is, of course, directly related to the other. In centering the festival on the quality, even radicalness, of film praxes, instead of a locus for glamour and business, VdR makes room for cinematic pearls to emerge. Those pearls may not be programmed at any other film festival, and in the quiet Swiss town of Nyon, a 15-minute train ride from Geneva, they amounted to a stunningly consistent lineup.
One of the most sparkling pearls in that lineup was the unclassifiable The Documentary Journey of Madame Anita Conti. Director Louise Hémon’s medium-length film relies on narration from a text by French explorer and photographer Anita Conti’s travel diary from her time on a fishing boat in open sea in 1952—along with an audio interview with Conti, 16mm footage from the expedition,...

Olivier Dahan: “I didn’t want to make a film about Simone Veil as we know her in France.”
Simone: Woman Of The Century director, writer, editor Olivier Dahan (La Vie En Rose with Marion Cotillard as Edith Piaf and Grace de Monaco with Nicole Kidman as Grace Kelly) is no stranger to depicting influential women. His all-embracing portrait of Simone Veil stars Elsa Zylberstein as Veil from 1968 till 2006, and Rebecca Marder (Arnaud Desplechin’s Tromperie and François Ozon’s Mon Crime) from 1942 through 1967.
Olivier Dahan with Anne-Katrin Titze on young people not knowing Simone Veil, Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List, Roman Polanski’s The Pianist, and László Nemes’s Son Of Saul: “I was really trying to connect with those young people and this woman, of course.”
In Bernard-Henri Lévy’s homage to Simone Veil he writes: “The world, French philosopher Gaston Bachelard said a century ago,...

In Bernard-Henri Lévy’s homage to Simone Veil he writes: “The world, French philosopher Gaston Bachelard said a century ago, could be reduced to a series of copyrights. Einstein’s relativity. Descartes’s doubt. Bergson’s laughter. Dante’s hell. Today: Simone Veil’s Europe.” Olivier Dahan’s all-embracing portrait, Simone: Woman of the Century, stars Elsa Zylberstein as Veil from 1968 till 2006, and Rebecca Marder (Arnaud Desplechin’s Tromperie and François Ozon’s Mon Crime) from 1942 through 1967.
Auschwitz survivor, Health Minister of France, magistrate, mother, member of the Constitutional Council, advocate for the rights of women and prison reform, and the first President of the European Parliament, Simone Veil’s importance for the 20th and 21st century cannot be overstated. Director, writer, editor...

Truong Minh Quý's The Tree House is exclusively showing August 13 – September 12, 2020 on Mubi as part of the series Festival Focus: Locarno Film Festival.I don’t remember when and where exactly, but I remember what I saw: a lone tiny house far away on a high steep mountain. Time passes. Some images keep recurring, emerging out of the foggy mind in unexpected moments between daily activities. Going to the market for some trivial stuff and suddenly see again so vividly the face of an ancestor who had died before one was born. As if the tiny house since then has been residing in my memory so quietly and so long that it turns out it’s me who is staying inside the house: inside of an inside of an inside. And that is the origin for The Tree House: to search for a house that has receded so far in the deep holes of memory,...

Like many people who like to look at art and write about it, I don’t have time to go to galleries, I work too much. But I do find time to look at paintings on Instagram. This is my take on the work that I see there. It's never going to be the same as experiencing it live, my read is bound to be limited. This is a skim, a study of tendencies if you like.
There are many ways to find Art on Instagram. Dm Simons posts work by interesting artists. Dailycollector is another account. I often search for the work of people I know, have known or vaguely know.
The recent change of guard at Artforum provoked ire from the art lovers on social media. Many complained that the outgoing administration used too much Frenchified "art-speak". Largely forgotten in their own country the Semiotexters have been hugely...

Go ahead and tell us you click it for the articles, but there's no shame in admitting that what you're really after are the book reviews. And the new issue of Scope, the online journal of film and TV studies from the University of Nottingham, has ten new book reviews. Sampling from one of them, Daniele Rugo writes, "As the title provocatively announces Dudley Andrew's book What Cinema Is! engages in the complex task of responding to André Bazin's attempt to identify the core of the cinematographic creation…. Andrew develops an inspired and insightful, if perhaps nostalgic, roadmap delineating how cinema should proceed to remain faithful to its origins (or to Bazin's original ideas)." Let Catherine Grant be your guide to the full issue.
The November/December 2011 issue of Film Comment is up, with nearly as many online exclusives as samples from the print edition: Peter von Bagh's uncut interview with Aki Kaurismäki,...

Tackling the topic of neuromarketing for Fast Company magazine, our author finds himself talking to the CEO of top neuromarketing firm NeuroFocus, and wonders how much can Pradeep really tell from his brain scan.
I'm in a ballroom inside New York's Marriot Marquis at the 75th annual Advertising Research Foundation conference, meeting with A.K. Pradeep, founder and CEO of NeuroFocus, a Berkeley, CA-based research firm that analyzes brain waves to reveal what consumers really want. It's your typical conference smorgasbord of presentations and product announcements, chockablock with booths rented by companies with neuro-y names like EmSense, Innerscope Research, Lucid Systems, Sands Research, and undisputed market leader NeuroFocus. I'm here to try and convince Pradeep to cooperate on a Fast Company feature story.
The only thing more secretive than neuromarketing firms are their clients, fearful of being accused of brainwashing--tapping that mythical "buy button" in your brain to trick you...

The traveling cinemas of Salim, Hanif and Feroz open up a world of imagination for children; make it more affordable to them, which the projectionists keep alive in part to make their own livelihood but in part to feed that hunger for creating the world for children, something we have assigned toys to do.
Dev Benegal’s (2009) Road, Movie is only the latest addition to a number of films that have been produced over the last decade and a half around the world. For some reasons, there is a renewed focus on a practice that has been in existence since the beginning of cinema, now being revived in all corners of the world. As one takes a panoramic look at these films, it is clear that there are quite a few from India. This does not seem to be only a numerical advantage but also an indication of how traveling...
