[Kite Circuit : The Pitch the_pitch.mov]Tuesday, July 26, 2005 If you''ve been pointed in this direction by the recent article in The Guardian , please note that I now blog at this address. posted by Matthew at 4:33 PM | | Friday, July 08, 2005 posted by Matthew at 1:47 AM | | Wednesday, July 06, 2005 Kite Circuit : The Pitch (QuickTime, 33.4MB) links: Kite Circuit UPDATE: Regardless of the outcome, which turned out to be very good, I thought our pitch went really well and that we couldn''t have done much better. We covered a lot material in a very short period of time and answered the panel''s questions well; it was telling, I thought, that the questions we got were ultimately about aspects of the story itself as opposed to about things like budget, cast and schedule, which many groups overlooked in their actual pitch, but which we made sure we covered. Overall, I was very confident (much to Kat''s chagrin, but, then, that''s almost par for the course these days) that we were in there with a good chance of getting selected and funded, which, as it turns out, we were. I got a phone call from Kat far sooner than I''d expected to (the decision making process didn''t take them very long at all, I didn''t think) telling me that Austin had run into two of the lecturers in the hall and that they had let him know that Kite Circuit was one of the five greenlit projects. About fifteen minutes later, my Finnish friend Jörgen sent me a text message on my phone that basically confirmed this. What this means in a practical sense is that the school''s going to give us between fifteen-hundred and two-thousand dollars to put towards the film, which, of course, is rather helpful. posted by Matthew at 10:36 PM | | Tuesday, July 05, 2005 Kite Circuit : Last Minute Pitch Rehearsals (QuickTime, 19.8MB) links: Kite Circuit posted by Matthew at 10:49 PM | | Notes from the Arctic Circle I''ve finally decided to make Notes from the Arctic Circle available online.

We received many high quality entries, making the selection process a particularly difficult one. I regret to advise you that your film has not been selected for the festival programme. We are grateful for your interest in our festival and hope to see your work in coming years. Best wishes for future projects. With kind regards, Anne Démy-Geroe Artistic Director Brisbane International Film Festival posted by Matthew at 10:10 PM | | FromABC News Online :  I like Bjork and when Japan was added to Live 8 I decided to come. In my daily life, though, I also think about Africa,  he said. Pft. Go figure. posted by Matthew at 8:22 PM | | Link Garden  This short film gives a brief history of the G8, and explores the issues that they will be discussing at Gleneagles. It goes on to give voice to people who are protesting and finishes off with how people can get involved and what they can do in their everyday life to resist the G8.  Via Adbusters ,   Why Close the G8?   Gleneagles 2005   by the Camcorder Guerillas . In the same vein, it should be pointed out that this weekend''s Live 8 concerts aren''t necessarily a good thing for Africa. See here , here and here . My opinion is best summed up by the fact that a character in The Winter Bolero says that, of all the things he hates about the world, he hates Tom Cruise and Bob Geldof the most. The G8''s new debt relief policies aren''t too appealing either. And the alternative press aren''t the only ones saying so . I''m buying a new cap tomorrow. Would you believe that I can''t wear the swoosh anymore without feeling inherently guilty? Thanks, Naomi Klein ! This is fantastic.posted by Matthew at 12:27 AM | | Friday, July 01, 2005 Cinema Notes No. 21 Short Cuts (d. Robert Altman, 1993 Except for when I''m writing one of my pieces on Australian cinema, which I consider to be of at least some minor polemical importance, I don''t much like writing about films that don''t do it for me. Time management''s all about picking your battles and seeing as we''ve only got so many hours in the day, I''d much rather spend them writing about, say, Gimme Shelter (d. Albert Maysles, David Maysles   Charlotte Zwerin, 1970) , which I saw recently and loved (but didn''t have the timeto write about), or, yes, Alexander Nevsky . The only reason I''m writing about Robert Altman''s Short Cuts is because so many people have said so many good things about it to me and will be shocked when I give it one-and-a-half stars on Sunday. One of my favourite Altman films is M*A*S*H (1970) , which I nevertheless find inferior to another irreverent, though much-less-lauded, war film of that year, Mike Nichols'' Catch-22 . My reason for this is simply that Nichols'' film is far more cinematic than Altman''s and that the latter''s roots in television have never been too well hidden (nor have Nichols'' in theatre, of course, but that''s another story). When Altman works with inherently cinematic genres   the war film, the film noir ( The Long Goodbye [1973] ), the Western ( McCabe   Mrs. Miller [1971] )   this doesn''t really matter too much   indeed, it ultimately allows him to more effectively subvert the genres, which I think is far and away one of his greatest strengths as a filmmaker. And I do think he can be formally interesting, too. His use of zoom lenses and his layering of sound are both very clever, useful and innovative, but   and this is ultimately the key for me   for some reason seem absolutely uninteresting when applied to this more melodramatic material. It should also be noted that I''m not a fan of Altman''s Nashville (1975) (though I should probably see it again just to be sure), which Short Cuts most obviously resembles. I''m a big fan of Paul Thomas Anderson''s Magnolia (1999) , which many of Short Cuts '' hardcore supporters deride for being so derivative. While I can definitely understand where they''re coming from, I also feel that Anderson improved upon the formula considerably by making his film in a way that was far more formally interesting. It''s still three hours long and it''s still unapologetically melodramatic, but it''s also cinema as opposed to television with daring sound design and that''s what makes it the better film. It''s also what makes, in my opinion, Anderson the better filmmaker. posted by Matthew at 5:25 PM | | Everything was back to normal this morning. Well, almost back to normal.
