September preview:
"Many of the formerly creative developments have become (a) business as usual. Their subversive charm has been absorbed into the real estate market. Content wise, the stimulus for my film consisted in the crucial changes of urban regulations around the new millennium e.g. the introduction of the “right to buy” (yourself-in into social housing) in 2000.

Off Beat Choice: Mauvais Sang this Sunday at OT301:

“This is how we would imagine a scene with an airplane. The plane passes by... a machine-gun fires... the plane crashes... And this is how you would imagine it. The plane passes by... The plane passes by again... the plane passes by once more...” According to Cesare Zavattini, this is how an American producer once concisely defined the difference between postwar American and Italian cinema." - Paola Pistone on La Notte.
