Link Round-Up

I’ve been getting a lot of emails about cool stuff that is going on this month, and it’s tough to post about everything. Here is a quick round-up of some good stuff that has crossed my inbox:

This is actually not new news, but looks like Arts Engine is gearing up to do something with DocuClub, the works-in-progress screening program founded by Susan Kaplan. It was a great program and it’s wonderful to see that it will continue with the awesome Arts Engine folks.

The Independent Film Festival of Boston has announced their line-up, which looks like some of the best festival fare of this year, so far. If you are in Boston, you’ll want to catch these great films while they are in your backyard. Great website with trailers and such! The fest runs from April 23 - 29. Check out The Greening of Southie for me and let me know what you think.

Speaking of The Greening of South, directed by Ian Cheney, one of my faves from last year, King Corn, which features Cheney and Curt Ellis, will be airing on Independent Lens on April 15. Be sure to DVR or tune in if you haven’t seen it (or buy the DVD, of course).

And lastly, if you are a Chris Marker fan, my former employer Icarus Films is working in partnership with The Wexner Center to sell DVDs of his work. If you are a fan, you know that much of his body of work has not been available in the US so here’s your chance to stock up on Marker films.

  1. Agnes, I went to the Docuclub screening in NYC Thursday, and it was terrific (the film Prodigal Sons was very promising, and the quality of feedback excellent). Nice it’s back.
