Thoughts on the Coming New Year
2011 has been a great year for me, and because of it, I am excited for the arriving 2012. It is close to being a full year since I started this Tumblr (January 9), and it has been too much fun managing it with things I love, from films I have seen and adored to photography I admire and quotes that strike a note in me. I hope people have enjoyed all of it as much as I have, and with the coming New...

BRESSON at the Film Forum in New York City →
Just in time for my birthday, Film Forum—located at 209 West Houston Street, between 6th Ave and Varick (7th Ave)—is presenting a collection of Robert Bresson’s films for the month of January, starting with Au Hasard Balthazar on the 6th and ending with A Man Escaped on the 26th. I honestly do not know how to go about choosing which films to see, but thank goodness for the...

Movie Choice(s): Poetry // Le Quattro Volte
Lee Chang-dong’s Poetry and Michelangelo Frammartino Le Quattro Volte are two films that remind me, in their own unique ways, about the powerful use of poetry.
In Lee Chang-dong’s film, we follow Mija, played by the fantastic Yun Jung-hee, an elderly woman who enrolls in a poetry class. As she tries and tries to understand poetry and how to find inspiration, she is overwhelmed...

We Are Many by Pablo Neruda
Of the many men who I am, who we are,
I can’t find a single one;
they disappear among my clothes,
they’ve left for another city.
When everything seems to be set
to show me off as intelligent,
the fool I always keep hidden
takes over all that I say.
At other times, I’m asleep
among distinguished people,
and when I look for my brave self,
a coward unknown to me

WatchHearing Spanish Sahara by Foals in Cinema 2011 made me want to post this. I have seen the band several times in New York, each time being an experience to remember. The song is perfect, and the band is not only amazing but truly talented. So here’s Spanish Sahara with an experimental short film I put together.

City That Does Not Sleep by Federico García Lorca
In the sky there is nobody asleep. Nobody, nobody.
Nobody is asleep.
The creatures of the moon sniff and prowl about their cabins.
The living iguanas will come and bite the men who do not dream,
and the man who rushes out with his spirit broken will meet on the
street corner
the unbelievable alligator quiet beneath the tender protest of the
stars.
Nobody is...
