[GreenCine Daily] Shorts, 5/25.: "You'll have gathered I have my problems with [Saskia] Olde Wolbers' work," writes Adrian Searle well into his review of Trailer, currently on view at the South London Gallery. "[T]he distant nods, which some critics have identified, to Jean-Luc Godard or Chris Marker (and in particular his 1963 La Jeteé) notwithstanding. I find it hard not to take her sensitivity, scrupulousness and seriousness for preciousness and pretension.

[This Day in U.S. Military History] May 6: 1935 - The Works Progress Administration (WPA), threw open its doors and began the monumental task of sending scores of unemployed Americans back to work. Perhaps the key program developed during the New Deal, President Franklin Roosevelt's "alphabet soup" of government agencies aimed at alleviating the damage wrought by the Great Depression, the WPA handed Americans decent-paying jobs on a myriad of public works projects. But, WPA jobs were hardly sinecures; workers employed via the agency constructed a head-spinning array of public structures, including parks, playgrounds, schools, post-offices and National Guard armories. And, through its creatively inclined arms (the Federal Art Project and Federal Theater Project), the WPA set painters, actors, musicians and writers to work on public arts projects that depicted the lives of America's workers.

[Goingforthegreen.blogspot.com] Robert Thompson's Going For The Green: Several participants in Golfclubatlas, the great golf architecture site that is full of historical nitpickers, also pointed out that author Mark Frost, a Hollywood scriptwriter for the likes of Hill Street Blues, didn't always get his facts quite straight. I didn't find too much of an issue with the history, though at times, the book read more like historical fiction than an actual history. However, that's not how the book was presented.

[Erratamag.com] Errata: Commentary Track: A rustle went through the crowd until someone shouted what I'm sure many of us were thinking: "Do it after the movie!" (Of course that would have required the executive director to stay for the screening. Maybe I'm being uncharitable.) "Show the film," someone else said as the chatter increased. Then rolling her eyes, Messina Captor said, "We'll show the film in three minutes. I think some people want to ask some questions." A woman near me stood up and yelled, "Please don't do this," and the few hands that had been raised went down.

[Daily.greencine.com] GreenCine Daily: "What these works have in common is their makers' desire to put themselves and their personal traumas front and center," writes Elbert Ventura. "Implicit in each is the notion that the act of filming is integral to personal growth - a prerequisite for the 'healing' to begin. If that sounds not a little facile, that's because it is."
