Guerrilla Filmmaking - Review: Sound Of My Voice at the MOXIE in Springfield MO


Is She From The Future?

Or is she heralding the future?
In her interview with Interview Brit Marling discusses her time at Georgetown where three people met and became friends, deciding to make the documentary:Boxers and Ballerinas 2004
Brit Marling
Mike Cahill
Zal Batmanglij
Directing, Producing, Writing, Acting, Shooting, Editing
They collaboratively took Another Earth to Sundance and won two prizes there. What is wonderful is that they work together equally. There is no big Other involved in the making of their films. Zizek! Take notice please!

Once again Brit Marling is exploring Alterity

From her earlier film Another Earth

We can recall moments in the past when we had equal chances of living or dying - in a car crash, for example.... Every time someone finds himself at a crossroads of this kind, he has two worlds before him... It is the same with each decisive moment, both with birth and with death. Just as the virtual dead man that I am continues on his way on the other side, carries on with his existence which runs just beneath the surface of mine, birth is that dividing line where on the one side I exist as myself, but on the other I begin, at the same moment to exist as other Such is the form of alterity...(Impossible Exchange 82)

Kenzaburo Oe in A Personal Matter  opts for a choice-centered cosmology, and puts this in the mouth of one of his characters:
Every time you stand at the crossroads of life and death, you have two universes in front of you...  

A lovely review of this film: Sound of My Voice

Steal This Greg Irons War Image

Greg Irons on War - Another "Stolen" Copyright



Every time I see another of his drawings "stolen" by a publication he published in in order to keep paying the rent and eating, I want to scream. All his Fillmore posters from the 60's, for which he was paid $100 each, maybe less at the beginning.

That motherfucking Bill Graham (who ran a great "deterrence game")  made hundreds of thousands. Greg always copyrighted his drawings and he was so happy in the early 60's before SF fame, to sign anything he gave away. He was very generous, but he always copyrighted them. So fortunately his brother Mark inherited all those copyrights. The ones not "stolen" from him.

Steal this pic and make a poster and put it under all those post office ads for recruitment. Any place that recruits, put one there. Put it on business cards. Leaflet all over with it. Greg would love love love you to do this if he were still alive.
