Afternoon Delight — which nabbed writer/director Jill Soloway top directing honors at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival — is the kind of movie that you don’t get to just watch and forget about on the ride home. It gets under your skin and into your pores and it makes you think about the big things in a way few stories do. I mean, it’s… Read more →

The Mother Of All Narrative Cinema; Alice Guy-Blache Finally Gets Her Due
Have you ever heard of Alice Guy-Blache? My friend Julie emailed me about this kickstarter for a documentary about Alice, and I was kind of shocked that I had no idea who she was, to be honest.
