What makes a horror movie feel so different on a Friday night? Listen to Aja try to untangle this question as she gets lyrical about the thrills (and chills) of movie-watching in the month of October. Footage Not Found is a co-production of the Indiana University Cinema and WFIU Studios. Our theme song this week is “Evening Flows” from the band Busman's Holiday off of their album Popular Cycles .

Footage Not Found: Women on Top - Legacies of Women in Global Cinema 7:13

3 years назад7:13

Indiana University Cinema’s new regular series “Women on Top” seeks to showcase a couple of things. It wants to show the audience that despite the large steps being made to amplify women's voices in the film industry, it has been primarily doing that through the role of the director when so many important and overlooked roles in the film industry have been shaped by women and femmes. It also seeks to give a window into the enriching opportunities and artforms outside of that director’s chair. This episode is a very brief tour of the IU Cinema’s fall “Women on Top” series, which trains a focused eye on the past, present, and future legacies of women global filmmakers, including directors but also writers, curators, cinematographers, costume designers, and more. Footage Not Found is a co-production of the Indiana University Cinema and WFIU Studios. Our theme song is “Only Ones” from the band Busman's Holiday off of their yet-to-be-released album Good Songs .

On this very special 69th episode of A Place For Film, I finally had the immense pleasure of sitting down with much wanted and long awaited guest Margot Stacy, the lovely and effusive mind behind the now retired "tees-en-scène" apparel shop (which we did an entire farewell episode for: here ) but also the very active and enthralling @mise_en_scene page on Instagram. She joins me for an hour long conversation on Lily and Lana Wachowski's magnum opus Speed Racer . We get into the nitty gritty of how Speed Racer serves as a major turning point not just in the Wachowski's career but in film history as a whole. We get into topics such as kinetics, aesthetic assault/death, postmodernism, transness as it relates to modes of creation and the joys of spectacle. If you want to here more thoughts on the "aesthetic assault" present in Speed Racer please pop over to the IU Cinema Blog and read my piece on Speed Racer, here: https://blogs.iu.edu/aplaceforfilm/2022/03/21/speed-racer-and-the-assault-on-aesthetics-of-the-20th-century/ Speed Racer will screen this Friday, March 25th at 7pm as apart of the IU Cinema's "Staff Selects" series.

I also lose my mind on microphone when I find out that David Church was also responsible for the beloved Café Flesh screening at the IU Cinema many moons ago.

Full Transparency: All blu-rays reviewed were provided by Criterion, Kino Lorber, Cohen Film Collection, Imprint Films, and Arrow Video. On this weeks episode of Physical Media Isn't Dead, It Just Smells Funny, we have some excellent titles to kick off 2022. Imprint Films brings us a thrilling revenge film starring Kirk Douglas titled Last Train From Gun Hill, and two horror adjacent titles with the folk infused Tam Lin directed by Roddy McDowall and Sam Raimi's gothic "American Giallo", The Gift. Cohen Film Collection puts out the original uncut version of the British Rock n' Roll musical Expresso Bongo (where you will believe a mans stage name can in fact just be "Bongo Herbert"), while Kino Lorber doubles up on gentle heist movies that proves maybe there is honor among thieves with Gambit (starring My-Ko-Kane and Shirley MacLaine) and Bill Forsyth and John Sayles Breaking In. Arrow Video serves with two kind of highly anticipated titles. Mario Bava's final effort Shock (a.k.a Beyond The Door II) gets a deluxe treatment that far and away better than the Anchor Bay double feature DVD from a million years ago, and Yasuzo Masumura's Red Angel is here to make you ponder than nature of grace and healing. Finally, Criterion Collection puts out now TWO TIME Oscar nominated director Jane Campion's signature film, The Piano to help us ponder just how hot (and tender) Harvey Keitel can be...IN 4K! It's a great way to kick off the year and I as always, I hope you find something that sings to you and can find its way on to your shelf.…

Happy holidays, everyone! 'Tis the season for merriment, goodwill to your fellow man, and watching people beat the living hell out of each other, or at least it is on “Physical Media Isn’t Dead, It Just Smells Funny.” There’s something in the air within the world of physical distribution. It seems that the time has come for balletic martial arts and high-octane action films to get their time to shine. On this month's episode, we have three labels and all of them have brought some of the greatest films featuring fast and furious fists and a symphony of squibs. New to the round-up this month we have 88 Films US, a label that specializes in martial arts films from the golden age of the medium. Their contribution is the workers' rights-infused Shaw Brothers film directed by legend Chang Cheh, Disciples of Shaolin, starring the charismatic Alexander Fu Sheng. Kino Lorber doubles down this month with Mei-Chun Chang’s follow-up to the thoroughly entertaining Dynasty with Revenge of the Shogun Women , another collaboration with the 3-D Film Archive and their initiative to seemingly bring you eye-popping action whenever they can. Kino Lorber has also decided to grace us with an HD and 4K release of John Woo’s American debut film, the 1993 film Hard Target, starring Jean Claude Van Damme’s mullet and Wilford Brimley's Cajun accent (along with Jean Claude Van Damme and Wilford Brimley). For such an occasion I had the opportunity to sit down with CMCL PhD candidate and all-around lovely person Jessie Balzer to discuss what makes Jean Claude Van Damme compelling and just what is going on with Lance Henrikson's physical performance in this film. Finally, for my pick of the month, I swing back around to Criterion's November release of the staggering Once Upon a Time in China: The Complete Films boxset -- a must-own for anyone even vaguely interested in exploring the world of Hong Kong action cinema. Limber up and get ready for a month of grace, violence, and doves making welcome appearances into the frame. You can read the rest of the reviews over at the IU Cinema blog…

A Place For Film: Episode 55 - Physical Media Isn’t Dead, It Just Smells Funny. Blu-ray Reviews for November 2021 1:02:31

3 years назад1:02:31

1:02:31

Believe it or not, I’ve been doing these reviews for over a year at this point and it’s been lovely watching how much it's all grown. This originally started with me desperately wanting to review the Criterion Collection’s The Complete Films of Agnès Varda boxset and it has grown into something I couldn’t imagine. Over the past 12 months, this has gone from just the lovely folks over at Kino Lorber and the Criterion Collection to also working with other lovely folks over at Arrow Video, Fun City Editions, GKIDS, Code Red, MVD Entertainment, Synapse Films, and Cohen Film Collection to help bring awareness to the wide world of well-curated and pristinely-packed cinema you could experience from the comfort and safety of your home with no more than a TV and a Blu-ray player (no internet required). This started as a way to keep people engaged with repertory and arthouse titles while theaters were closed and tech companies continued to gobble up the scope of cinema, but it’s now evolved into blog discovery and being intentional and passionate about cinema I consume. It’s been great hearing all the feedback over the past 12 months and getting to hear from people who found this column by chance. I love doing it and I hope you guys still like listening to and reading it. So what better way to celebrate a one-year anniversary than with the addition of two new distributors! From the UK but bearing “All Region” gifts comes Imprint Films with its releases of Basil Dearden’s penultimate film, The Assassination Bureau starring late greats Oliver Reed, Telly Savalas, and of course Diana Rigg, a romp about assassins who clearly don’t understand there are more efficient ways to kill a person than bombs (more on that later). They also have released a handsome boxset containing both the 1951 Anthony Asquith/Michael Redgrave and 1994 Mike Figgis/Albert Finney adaptations of Terrence Rattigan's The Browning Version . Also making their debut is the long-awaited and oft-asked-for Vinegar Syndrome! We're starting off with their exclusive release of the very exciting reconstruction of the nearly lost and soon-to-be-cult-favorite New York Ninja . We also have our usual suspects with Kino Lorber giving us releases of director John G. Avildsen and composer Bill Conti’s unlikely but welcome follow-up to Rocky, Slow Dancing in the Big City starring unlikely romantic lead Paul Sorvino. John Huston’s Freud biopic starring Montgomery Clift and Susannah York makes a welcome appearance, which prompts me to once again think about what makes a biopic work artistically in the first place. There is also the season 1 release of Rod Serling’s horror-tinged Twilight Zone follow-up Night Gallery . Arrow Video brings us two welcome releases for cinephiles who have their sights set on lesser-known Japanese genre cinema: Gamera director Noriaki Yuasa’s adaptation of Kazuo Umezu’s manga “Hebi shōjo (Snake Girl)” into a horror film aimed to traumatize children everywhere, The Snake Girl and the Silver Haired Witch , and there’s also the genre-bending mash-up that is Shinji Somai’s Sailor Suit and Machine Gun , which somehow threads the needle between quiet coming-of-age drama, yakuza movie, and Japanese “idol movie.” Finally, we have my pick of the month from Fun City Editions with their recent release of Christopher Petit’s New German cinema-inspired and new wave-scored British road movie Radio On , a gem I hope won’t remain hidden for long. After a year of doing this, I hope some of you have found something you’ve enjoyed that you would have otherwise missed or overlooked, and if you haven’t yet, I hope this month can change that.

This week on A Place For Film, David and Elizabeth reunite during David's social media hiatus to talk about some film news that did trickle down him in his Twitter and Instagram free "Fortress of Solitude". They discuss Disney's refusal to make a separate cut of The Eternals , Robert Downy Jr. being cast in Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer film as well as his new partnership with Universal, and they also discuss the Taika Waititi being tapped as director for adapting Alejandro Jodorowsky's Incal to the big screen.

A Place For Film: Episode 51 - Physical Media Isn't Dead, It's Undead: Blu-ray Reviews for October 2021 1:02:14

3 years назад1:02:14

1:02:14

Full transparency: all Blu-rays reviewed were provided by Kino Lorber, Arrow Video, and Synapse Films. Finally, the best month of the year is here: OCTOBER! The one I’ve been waiting for, folks. There’s nothing quite like the thrills and chills of a month marinated in the macabre. As the days dwindle and the nights grow longer, it’s nice to sit down with a spooky story or two to keep you company and to keep you and your loved ones on your toes. Who knows what creeps around every conspicuous corner? Horror movies are always a fun and communal way to let the hairs stand up on your neck and get your pulse pounding and your stomach churning without having to go out and find a masked killer to get the job done. So that is why I bring you some of the wildest, weirdest, and most weighty selections this column has seen to date. Joining us this month is Synapse Films with their reissue of Lamberto Bava and giallo giant Dario Argento’s nightmare-inducing (and nightmare-logic-infused) horror duology Demons and Demons 2. Arrow Video comes in swingin' with a substantial piece of film history and a fresh collection for non-weeby western eyes: the Yokai Monsters Collection, featuring the entire trilogy of the influential yokai monster movies produced by Daiei, the studio behind Gamera, as well as exhaustingly prolific auteur Takashi Miike’s 2005 yokai free-for-all, The Great Yokai War , which begs the question "What if there was a great yokai war?" The final addition to my reviews this month -- as well as my pick of the month -- comes from Kino Lorber, but not in the form of a film. No, ma’am. We are treading into the uncharted territory of TV and TV movies with, if not the granddaddy of “monster of the week” television shows then certainly the cool uncle of them, Kolchak: The Night Stalker. For such a momentous occasion I decided to bring back past guest, Lotus operations & visual arts manager, radio DJ, and The X-Files aficionado Amanda Hutchins to talk about the sizable impact this show has had on TV and film as a whole, its never-ending delightfulness, its fascinating pedigree, and how it embodies the more “fun” side of the Halloween season. Take a listen... if you dare. You can find the rest of the months reviews in written form on the IU Cinema blog…
