Fassbinder’s World on a Wire
Janus Films will be distributing new digitally restored 35mm prints of Fassbinder’s epic 1973 film ‘World on a Wire.’ Appearing at MoMA twice in the last 2 years, it was somewhat expected that Janus would restore the work.

La Brune et Moi
Filmed in 1979, screened once in 1980 to a small crowd on the Left Bank, and lost until 2005, I’m sad to say that my 2011 tastes were underwhelmed with this one. French director Philippe Puicouyoul lifted the story line (Business man falls for a young girl and vows to fulfill her dream of... [ Read More → ]
Maria Lassing "Films" at Friedrich Petzel
Known mainly for her paintings, (specifically, her ‘Body Awareness Paintings’) Chelsea’s Friedrich Petzel Gallery has organized an exhibition of the Viennese artist Maria Lassing’s videos.

Between 1990-2001, leading Swiss cigarette brand ‘Parisienne’ commissioned a series of commercials by internationally renown film directors.

Fassbinder Freaks Take-Over MoMA
I was super disappointed on Monday afternoon, when I ditched work to go see Fassbinder’s 1973 TV series “World on a Wire” and was denied. And I don’t usually back down so easily. However, the MoMA’s Administration entrance (not the main one) was packed- and i mean packed- with throngs of Fassbinder fanboy types. It... [ Read More → ]
Queens of Noise
All in all, the Runaways was pretty decent. Of course there were problems with it, but this much is inevitable with Hollywood films looking back into a specific time period. Dakota Fanning plays a seriously great drug addict towards the end of the film. Especially considering that she is still only 16 and comes from... [ Read More → ]

Video Witch: Joan Jonas’ shamanistic approach to performance
I had no idea what to expect for the performance billed ‘Joan Jonas reading Dante.’ I read the Performa summary, which lent almost no information, as well an ArtForum article about the work as instantiated for the 2008 Biennale of Sydney and some other scraps; yet nowhere in the limited information that I could cobble...
