"A generally humorous change of pace from the lovingly detailed grotesqueries on display throughout Film Forum's Tod Browning festival, the 'Dracula' auteur's 1935 entry 'Mark of the Vampire,' which plays tonight, offers up a welcome comic flipside to the director's 1931 bloodsucker classic," writes Andrew Schenker for the L Magazine.
Jennifer Phang's "Half-Life" screens tonight at The Kitchen for free as part of the Whitney's "Time Out of Joint: Recall and Evocation in Recent Art" program. At Hammer to Nail, Michael Ryan recommends catching it: "This is ambitious indie filmmaking at its best!"
"For more than 50 years, Lawrence Jordan has been one of the leading lights of American avant-garde cinema," writes Sean Uyehara at SF360. "Gallery Extraña presents an exhibition of film still prints and a diorama created by Jordan beginning June 5, a date that just happens to coincide with the maker's 75th birthday. The gallery also presents a preview of the documentary 'Lawrence Jordan' and the premiere of Jordan's newest film, a 12-hour collage epic, 'Circus Savage' June 13. Jordan was kind enough to talk with us by phone, where he proved to be extremely open to discussing any topic with candor and modesty."
San Francisco's Silent Film Festival has announced its program. July 10 through 12.
Little White Lies previews the "New British Cinema" season running at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London from Thursday through June 30.
Updated yet again: "Wrapping Cannes 09."
