News from Taxi Driver
2019-06-13 · 9 min · Not rated
The New York of News from Home was filmed in 1976, while the one of Taxi Driver was filmed in the summer of 1975. Both works reflect the same decadent city. Two visions that shift from the everyday to the existential complement each other. A resignification of Akerman's images through the voice-over of Scorsese's work.

“Face of Centuries: Jan S. Kolár and the Afterlives of History” is an 18-minute visual essay created by experimental filmmaker and film scholar Stephen Broomer for Deaf Crocodile's Blu-ray collection of The Arrival from the Darkness (1921) and St. Wenceslas (1929). Its subject is the filmmaking career and artistic legacy of Czech director Jan S. Kolár (1896–1973), one of the pioneers of Czech cinema. The essay examines Kolár's place in early Czech filmmaking, including his experimentation across genres and the historical significance of his surviving films. The two principal features offer quite different windows into his work: - The Arrival from the Darkness: occult fantasy, resurrection, alchemy, black magic and time travel. - St. Wenceslas: an ambitious historical epic about tenth-century Bohemia, political conflict and the establishment of Christianity

Non-human animals have always been around us, shaping and being shaped by our shared worlds. Yet in the modern city, their presence is increasingly cast as a problem, and their ways of living as disruptions. By following their traces, this film essay points toward a different picture that questions the narratives we take for granted. Through more-than-human encounters filmed locally in Romania, and a critical detour from the official discourse, other ways of living begin to surface. Perhaps there’s more we can do to unmake the anthropocentric landscape. What would it take to coexist more justly with urban animals? This film strays with this question and its possible answers.
