Both the Kansas City Film Critics Circle and the San Francisco Film Critics Circle announced their annual awards this evening, naming Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master the best picture of 2012. The film also received Best Supporting Actor and Best Original Screenplay from Kansas City, while also taking Best Actor from San Francisco.
Kansas City didn’t really hold any other surprises other than an award that we don’t see much among critics groups, one awarded to the Best Science Fiction, Fantasy, or Horror Film of the Year. The recipient was the outstanding The Cabin in the Woods.
San Francisco spread their awards out quite a bit, giving two to several films including Zero Dark Thirty (Best Director and Best Original Screenplay), Lincoln (Best Supporting Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay), and Amour (Best Actress and Best Foreign Language Film).

Jacob Krupnick, the director of Girl Walk // All Day — the first film to play at Brooklyn’s reRun Theatre under its new programming partnership with Ifp and Filmmaker magazine — is not only wowing audiences with his infectious, joyful dance movie, but is also showing his serious side with a short film made for the New York Times, a collaboration with photographer Pieter Hugo and composer Adam Horovitz, aka The Beastie Boys’ Ad-Rock.
In an email announcing the film, Krupnick wrote:
For much of the last month, I’ve been working on a project about a sliver of the American landscape between New York City and Washington DC.
The result is a short film called Off The Rails, which has just gone up on the Times‘ site here.
A little more explanation:
I spent ten days traveling along the Northeast Corridor — the Amtrak line connecting the two cities — with the photographer Pieter Hugo.

Director and photographer Jacob Krupnick was waiting for a spark to ignite a major creative project, and it came when he was listening to All Day, the 2010 album by mashup maestro Girl Talk. Krupnick’s debut feature, Girl Walk // All Day brilliantly utilizes the entirety of the album, using it as both soundtrack and inspiration for an epic, feature-length music video, the story of a young dancer (Anne Marsen) who escapes for the day to New York City, turning the great metropolis into one big, ever-moving stage. Along the way, she regularly crosses paths with both The Creep (John Doyle), a weirdo in skeleton sweats, and his courteous counterpart, The Gentleman (Dai Omiya).
Since premiering in Brooklyn almost a year ago, Girl Walk //All Day has had screenings all over the country (as well as internationally) that have become legendary for becoming mass dance parties, as the entire audience gets...

Dance Dance Revelation: Krupnick’s Own Jubilant Mashup
In 2010, the one man remix act Girl Talk released his latest mashup record, All Day, in which he draws from the entire back catalog of pop music, from The Rolling Stones to Lil’ Wayne, patching bits and pieces from whatever fits to craft fully formed, completely danceable tracks, disregarding countless copyright infringements along the way. Girl Walk // All Day is director Jacob Krupnick’s full length feature/extended music video that uses All Day as a musical backdrop. Much like the musical concoctions that set the aural stage, the film is an amalgamation of vérité street performances, improvised dance segments, and choreographed numbers all (very) loosely woven around the story of The Girl (Anne Marsen), The Gentleman (Dai Omiya) and The Creep (John Doyle).
Nimbly navigating the streets of New York with a myriad of spins, wispy arm movements and an ever present smile,...

Following on from the “25 New Faces” screening series that we have been organizing around the country, I’m very happy today to announce that Filmmaker and Ifp will be programming theatrical runs at the reRun Theatre in Brooklyn, starting on November 2. The first three films we will be showing at reRun are Jacob Krupnick’s crowdpleasing NYC dance movie Girl Walk // All Day (above), Sara Blecher’s South African drama Otelo Burning, and Susan Youssef’s Gaza-set love story Habibi.
We’re incredibly excited to be entering into this partnership with reRun and, through it, to continue what the magazine has been doing for 20 years, namely championing great — and often overlooked — cinema. In the very near future, we will launch an online form on the Ifp site which will facilitate filmmakers submitting their films for consideration for a theatrical slot at reRun, as it is our intention to cast a...

Outdoor summer film series Cinema East went out with an emphatic bang Sunday night at Yellow Jacket Stadium, with its finale screening of Girl Walk // All Day (Jette's SXSW review). Approximately 700 Austinites watched the musical; some with beers, some with (what would become futile) chairs, almost all destined to dance that evening, whether they knew it or not walking into the venue.
Set to Girl Talk's marvelous mash-up album All Day, with no dialogue, Girl Walk // All Day is a strange mix of narrative-yet-documentary, silent-yet-musical film. The movie follows a dancer (Anne Marsen) who feels the sudden urge to bust out of her ballet class and dance around New York City. She then reacts to passersby and the cityscape with ingenuousness and charm and the craziest amalgamation of dance styles imaginable.
I had seen Girl Walk // All Day before, and could not have been more content with it,...

Look, I'm in my early forties. I listen to out of date, untrendy music. I had no idea who or what Girl Talk was, much less what it had to do with the movie Girl Walk // All Day. What I knew was that a lot of my SXSW filmgoing friends were raving about this dance-a-rific musical film, everyone was talking about getting out of their theater seats and dancing around, and the movie was playing at Alamo Drafthouse Village on a night when I didn't want to go downtown. From such unlikely beginnings are great SXSW moviegoing experiences made.
At its essence, Girl Walk // All Day is a feature-length music video/dance performance, but that's terribly reductive and misleading. The movie is set to the music of Girl Talk's 2010 album All Day -- if you haven't heard it, it consists of 372 samples of existing songs by other artists, which...
