Cool Hunting
I recently started watching "The Reel New York Film Festival," a show highlighting experimental works, shorts, documentaries, animated shorts and narratives made by New Yorkers and/or about New Yorkers on local cable.
Now in its twelfth season, tonight's program features several shorts including Jane Nisselson’s “Electromagnetic Spectrum,” which—in the tradition of the Eames science films—communicates a basic science phenomena via an apparently non-scientific situation. Nisselson uses a ping-pong match to symbolically convey a visceral sense of the force as its energy increases. Pat Irwin (of the B52s) soundtrack is an essential part of the narrative as it moves the viewer through the spectrum.
If you live in NYC, catch it on Channel 13, Thursday evenings at 10pm through 30 August 2007. Otherwise, you can watch trailers on their site.

by Ariston Anderson An unusually solid year for the Tribeca Film Festival, the post-9/11 creation formed by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal and Craig Hatkoff fared a much more manageable list of 85 features compared to the unwieldy slate of years past, resulting in a wealth of high quality films and events around lower Manhattan. The smaller list didn't necessarily make it that much easier...
by Tamara Warren If the best work comes from life experience, then Michel Auder married well. Or at least he married intriguing people—Viva, a Warhol superstar and photographer Cindy Sherman—who added color to his already vibrant life story. The Paris-born artist and filmmaker has done just about everything interesting in the past forty years. To prove it, he kept a diary of his days...
