There’s something about driving through the Berkshires on the most beautiful day of the year jamming Summer Feelings that’s both cartoonishly right and feels like it’s totally happening to somebody else.

So I sincerely urge you to go to the 2nd weekend of the Hinterland Film Festival. Cuz that’s what it was like last weekend. And, duh, the program was awesome.

Plus, to urge urge you, we’ve posted the classic trailer to our film O Nurse, which will be playing there this Saturday.

Zip car?

The Blondes World/SF premiere was a devastating success. And afterwards, the reception we got was just ridiculous. Two words, dudes: Foie gras!

Photos to come.

Thanks San Francisco.

*BENEATH A PASSIVE SURFACE*
An Evening of Video and Perfomance
at Artists’ Television Access, San Francisco
Thursday, April 16, 2009. 8PM $6

This program explores the diverse realm of video and the various ways artists employ it as a process of communication, point of reflection, backdrop for action, and vehicle of abstraction. In “J.M.E. in MySpace: Tropical Feelings”, a Comic video essay about grime music and MySpace, Lev Kalman and Whitney Horn show that “beneath the passive surface of the internet, creative energy flows”. David Horvitz and Lukas Geronimas try to extend one of Paul McCarthy’s installations to include the outside world. In A.K. Burns “Electric in the Cosmic Age”, she wrestles fellow Bay Area ex-pat, K8 Hardy in orange spandex with sound by Matt Volla. “In the absence of daylight, we are haunted by ghosts and moths, which pass through walls and create holes in beloved fabrics.” Deville Cohen’s “The Wall” “explores the possibilities of Paper as a sculptural material, as well as its function as a carrier of a printed image.” Joshua Kit Clayton brings awkwardness and insight together through group exercise. And More!!! Artists in the program include:

A.K. Burns, Catherine Czacki, Joshua Kit Clayton, Deville Cohen, Maggie Foster, David Horvitz and Lukas Geronimas, Lev Kalman and Whitney Horn, Daniel Minnick, Kamau Patton, Marcia Scott, Margaret Tedesco
