1. One of my favorite video installations this year.

     

  2. Love the first-person POV in this.  Directed by Chris Robinson.

     

  3. The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975.  Directed by Göran Hugo Olsson.


    Interesting parallel to The Black and the Green.  Here, Swedish filmmakers document the Black Panther Party in the early ’70s.

     

  4. A documentary about John Forte’s experience in Russia after being released from a US federal prison, directed by a fellow Cooper Union alum, Petter Ringbom.  It debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival last month.

     

  5. Fun read.

     

  6. Salomé by Henri Regnault

     

  7. 海辺のカフカ

    村上春樹

    Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami

     

  8. Just Kids

     

  9. “I’ll forget my first love, like you’ll forget a daydream”

    C’mon Frank.  Oh, and the 808’s at the end >

     

  10. Someone suggested I take a look at Tacita Dean’s work.  I think she’s onto something, combining my love for film and painting in a fairly innovative way.
