There’s never been a better time to be a fan of restlessly brilliant French auteur Olivier Assayas. His recent collaborations with Kristen Stewart (“Personal Shopper” and “Clouds of Sils Maria”) have taken root in the American film discourse, his “lost” 1994 masterpiece “Cold Water” has joined those films in the Criterion Collection, and his fiendishly clever new comedy, “Non-Fiction,” is lighting up the festival circuit in advance of its release from Sundance Selects next year. And thanks to Le CiNéMa Club, starting today through next Friday, the free cinephile streaming platform is sharing an intimate new documentary about Assayas’ work, and the making of “Personal Shopper.”
Directed by Benoît Bourreau, and commissioned as part of Janine Bazin’s legendary “Cinéma, de notre temps” series, “Aware, Anywhere” offers a lucid and insightful look inside Assayas’ unique approach to filmmaking. The 75-minute documentary hinges on a career-spanning interview between Assayas and longtime...

Les Soviets plus l’électricitéFrance’s central place within film culture may have its ups and downs when it comes to adventurous film-making, but its reputation as a hub of international film viewing holds strong. Yet beyond the central role of Cannes in the yearly festival rigmarole, and references to the riches of the Paris film-going scene and to vaguely understood state subsidies, little attention is actually paid to the wider infrastructures of a film-going culture which, after all, provided more ticket sales for Uncle Boonmee than the rest of the world combined. To say this is not to trumpet French exceptionalism far and wide: Olaf Möller has spoken lovingly of the key role of film programming on West German television in the 1970s, and Italian critics would no doubt be able to provide similar insight into the workings of Rai 3 or the myriad smaller festivals which continue to...

Nicole Brenez by Alexia Villard
Nicole Brenez is in New York and she's very, very busy. This evening, she's delivering a talk at Columbia University on Recent Developments in Political Cinema (with a response by Kent Jones), followed by another tomorrow afternoon, "An Incandescent Atmosphere": Internationalist Cinema for Today. Then it's off to Anthology Film Archives to launch the series Internationalist Cinema for Today, running through March 11. Off again to Microscope Gallery to introduce a screening of selected works by filmmaker, poet, musician Marc Hurtado (from the group Etant Donnés). And then on Saturday, she'll introduce two more programs in the Anthology series.
Cinespect's Ryan Wells has asked Nicole Brenez to explain the concept of Internationalist cinema and the ensuing interview's an engaging read, but for brevity's sake, I'm turning to her introduction to the Anthology series:
it is a way to move beyond the ego and think of others,...
