Some of the best films of the 2012/2013 calender year from Richard Linklater, Harmony Korine, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Andrew Bujalski, Jeff Nichols, David Gordon Green, Shane Carruth and Joshua Oppenheimer are among the headliner names for the 2013 edition of the South by Southwest Film Festival. With a little over 100 plus film line-up (a whopping 2000+ titles were submitted), almost 70 are world premieres: there is the highly anticipated sophomore film (that has been on our radar since it first went into production) with M. Blash’s (The Wait), Joe Swanberg who makes SXSW his second home will premiere Drinking Buddies, veteran indie filmmaker John Sayles saddles in with Go For Sisters, and rounding out the Narrative Spotlight section we’ve got The Bounceback from Bryan Poyser, Loves Her Gun from Geoff Marslett along with titles we thought might break into Park City, but found an Austin home instead with Jacob Vaughan’s Milo and...

Are film archives static repositories of data and information? Or are they living, breathing and evolving entities? To quote Rick Prelinger at a lecture at the New School in NYC, archives need to be considered as “cultural producers” in order to stay relevant and essential. That lecture forms the core of Christopher S. Childs‘ documentary Re-presenting Prelinger, which also includes the type of remixing of selections from Prelinger’s legendary online collection that the archivist urges filmmakers to produce.
If anyone’s to make the case for the accessibility and use of archives, it’s going to be Prelinger who has amassed tens of thousands of educational, industrial, commercial and amateur films, many of which are available online via the popular Archive.org website. The films can be viewed, but — as Prelinger points out — they can be downloaded by other filmmakers and artists to create new works, like Childs has done above.

"When I wrote 120 Malay Movies I tried to watch all of the 34 movies that P Ramlee directed. I almost succeeded." Amir Muhammad (The Last Communist, Malaysian Gods) would eventually see 33; Sitora Harimau Jadian (1964) seems to have been lost. He tells us the story of how he came upon what amounts to P Ramlee's own novelization of Sitora Harimau Jadian, "describing what happens in his movie, scene by scene. The book is slim, only 124 pages, and I'm glad it was also fleshed out with pictures from the movie (which might be the only chance we will ever get to 'see' it)." He gives us a sample and then announces that he's republishing the book, which will be out next month and already has a fan page.

Besides the shorts we and the Chicago International Film Festival are showing for free, there are more than 180 other films in the lineup from 50 countries, with more than 45 films by first-time directors. I'll be gathering notes and links here from coverage of Ciff 47, opening today and running through October 20.
"The festival shows off its Chicago cred with this year's opening-night movie, produced by Steppenwolf Films and shot entirely in our city," writes Ben Kenigsberg, kicking off Time Out Chicago's day-by-day guide to the first week (featuring capsule previews of 70 films). With The Last Rites of Joe May, Joe Maggio "does a credible job with this story of a small-time operator (Dennis Farina) so ineffectual that when he's hospitalized for pneumonia, everyone assumes he's dead. Predictably, he finds redemption caring for a battered single mother and her kid. The movie is watchable, but there's barely a scene in it that's not a cliché.

Like many of you, I receive e-mail links almost every day from friends who pass along interesting posts. Some of them turn out to be gems while others are a waste of time. I’ve accumulated a few I definitely want to share, beginning with a charming printed conversation between Paul McCartney and Doris Day that appeared in Britain’s The Telegraph, to promote a new (and long-awaited) CD from the retired singer/actress. I know you’ll enjoy reading this, as I did. Silent-comedy location specialist John Bengtson has made hay with a wonderful new discovery from film archivist Rick Prelinger. Prelinger has…...

Beverly Hills, CA - The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will present “A Trip to the Moon” (1902) on Tuesday, September 6, at 7:30 p.m. at the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. This historic touchstone film by Georges Méliès’s will be screened in its original hand-colored version direct from its re-premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this May.
An original color print of “A Trip to the Moon” was recently discovered in poor condition and underwent delicate work to rescue and digitize the elements. The restoration was carried out by Lobster Films, the Groupama Gan Foundation for Cinema and the Technicolor Foundation for Cinema Heritage, and took place at Technicolor Los Angeles. The French band Air composed an original soundtrack to accompany the film.

Much of downtown San Francisco was destroyed in 1906's infamous earthquake. How precious then is A Trip Down Market Street, an eleven minute film which 60 Minutes producer David Browning says "captures a city full of life and promise." Browning saw a scratched up version last spring and tracked down a digitally restored version that was commissioned by film archivist Rick Prelinger, and discovered more on the film's origins when he spoke to another archivist, David Kiehn, who was able to confirm the film's date. The film shows eery - and miraculous - foresight in filming what would be destroyed less than a week later. The film is after the jump. IndieWIRE's Eugene Hernandez was equally smitten with the Miles Brothers film, which is a ...
