Nov 24th Tuition Fee Student Protests

I'm off to check out and join in/take some photos of the student protests in London. I urge anyone else that can to come out and show your support to do so.

If anyone knows of anything that's going on let us know in the comments. For now, here's a few links to planned stuff that's going on:

SIFF 210

I recently stumbled across this video on Vimeo and thought it was good enough to share. Unfortunately I don't know any details about it or the creators, aside from assuming that it was commissioned for the Seattle film festival. Below the embedded vid is link to the original post if you'd like to try and find out more. Enjoy!

William Eggleston - "Stranded in Canton"

Legendary photographer William Eggleston, working with filmmaker Robert Gordon, recently edited thirty hours of video footage he’d shot in 1974 of friends, family, and eclectic characters encountered in the bars and back roads of his hometown of Memphis, as well as New Orleans and the Delta region. The hypnotic result is Stranded in Canton, a film that consistently teeters on the edge of dream and nightmare states. Its nocturnal visions of bar denizens, musicians (including Furry Lewis), transvestites and a variety of semi-crazies comes off like a Cassavetes all-nighter filmed by David Lynch at his most unsettling: faces loom out of darkness, shot in infrared, displaying pale glowing skin and deep black eyes.
