Above: if you are fortunate enough to be in the vicinity of MoMA between now and November 21st, you may want to consider visiting their Bill Morrison exhibition. David Ehrlich of The Playlist interviews Mia Hansen-Løve about her new film Eden, as well as her next project. In a web exclusive piece for Sight & Sound, Michael Pattison writes on experimental films from the London Film Festival and 25Fps in Zagreb:
"All art is by its very nature experimental. In the face of an increasingly standardised narrative cinema, one defining feature of the experimental mode might be miscellany. Festival programmes celebrating ‘experimental cinema’ subsequently accommodate everything from the impenetrably personal to the familiarly abstract.
More than most, when housed together, such works demand an omnivorously receptive sensibility: preferences are fine, but one’s sustained appreciation of this genre seemingly depends upon how long one is able to keep an open mind.

Above: via Farran Nehme, an advertisement for King Vidor's The Big Parade. Dana Linssen introduces the new edition of the annual "Slow Criticism Project" at de Filmkrant:
"...We've invited critics and writers from all these 36 nations to write a guest column in this wonderful euro-English that is our lingua franca about the state of cinema in their country. And since cinema is so closely related to who we are, what we feel, what we dream, we've asked them to write about that too. We weren't looking for facts & figures, for economics & industry, but for a snapshot, some instantaneous, and haphazard exposure, an examination of the cinematic pulse, a shipwrecked treasure from the tidelines, a message from the fault lines of history and the trenches of life. We asked them to be foreign correspondents in their own countries, travelling ambassadors in the realm of cinephilia, to lend us their ears...

We've all seen our fair share of horror web-based shows, but none of them have streamlined the viewing experience like Haunting Melissa. Hooked Digital Media, a next-generation production company, premiered the multi-part horror tale today exclusively on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and ShockTillYouDrop.com got a sneak peek earlier this week as to how the experience worked.
Going in, I had no idea what to expect. We've seen so many multi-media gimmicks hit the horror genre - especially with the advent of mobile devices - yet director Neal Edelstein (producer of films like The Ring) has found a way to channel his story through something that's incredibly smooth, creative and ambitious.
Written by Andrew Klavan (True Crime, Don’t Say A Word), Haunting Melissa stars Kassia Warshawski as Melissa Strogue, Travis Nelson as Brandon, Barb Mitchell as Katherine Strogue, Jasmine Berg as Holly, Greg Lawson as Jack Strogue, Larry Reese as Mike Cole,...
