31 March 2013 7:04 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
1998 Best Actress Academy Award nominee stages a political protest -- a 'lesbian kiss' -- at an awards ceremony in Rio de Janeiro Forget Madonna and Britney Spears, Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep, Bullock and Scarlett Johansson, and Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner. Veteran Brazilian actress Fernanda Montenegro, best known around the world for her performance as a bitter old hag in Walter Salles' 1998 drama Central Station, which earned her a Best Actress Oscar nod, kissed fellow veteran performer Camila Amado in the mouth at Rio de Janeiro's Theater Producers Association Awards ceremony, which took place in that Brazilian city this past Monday, March 25. (Pictured above: Montenegro kissing Amado.) The mouth-to-mouth kiss between the 83-year-old Montenegro and the 77-year-old Amado, followed a previous "gay kiss" also staged at the awards show -- that one between performers Ricardo Blat and Tonico Pereira. All that kissing wasn't intended to merely liven up »

Agnes Varda, Still Making Waves
15 March 2013 9:20 AM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
Agnes Varda, irrepressible octogenarian -- “say I’ll be 85 in May” -- and filmmaker whose 1954 feature debut, "La Pointe-Courte," precipitated New Wave cinema, is artist-in-residence at the University of Pennsylvania this week, dispensing wisdom, teaching master classes and sharing some of her 33 films, including her 2009 cine-memoir, "The Beaches of Agnes." Here’s what she had to say about her career when I had a sit-down with her earlier in the week. It occurred to me that she is among the oldest filmmakers currently active (Alain Resnais, who was the editor of "La Pointe-Court" is a few years older, and the indefatigable Manoel de Oliveira is 100-plus years) although her vitality and vivacity is that of someone a fraction of her years.I just listened to her teach a master class at Scribe Video Center where my favorite question came from an aspiring documentarian who asked, “It always seems that you’re teaching your subject. »

How the 90-Year-Old Alain Resnais Preserves the Past While Forging Into the Future in His Films
22 February 2013 11:33 AM, PST | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
Any list of the oldest living directors would feature some of the medium's finest artists. Manoel de Oliveira, at the ripe old age of 104, is still making films despite the fact that his career started before the Great Depression. With any luck, we still haven't seen the last documentary effort from legend D.A. Pennebaker, who turns 88 later this year. There's one director among that company whose inclusion should come as no surprise, since he's a man who has spent most of his career exploring our relationships with the past. Alain Resnais' filmography is filled with titles centered on the ideas of our memories and how the process of creating films helps us share those with one another. After a decade of directing short films, Resnais crafted what many consider to be one of his crowning achievements, 1955's "Night and Fog," a portrait of the horrors of World War II concentration camps. »

5 Films to Watch From the 2013 Film Comment Selects Series
19 February 2013 7:59 AM, PST | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
For 13 years, the editors of Film Comment magazine have presented an annual screening series of diverse cinema at the Film Society of Lincoln Center, much of which has garnered acclaim on the festival circuit but hardly anywhere else. True to the adventurous and eclectic nature of its editorial content, the magazine's festival favors challenging stylistic endeavors and moody stories that challenge mainstream conventions. This year's lineup, which started Monday and runs through February 28, provides an especially distinctive look at some of the more ambitious narratives to surface over the past year. Here are five highlights from the program; the entire selection can be found here. "Gebo and the Shadow" Yes, at 103, Portuguese director Manoel de Oliveira is the oldest working filmmaker. It's not so easy to ignore this fact when you look at his fascinating output, which remains formally challenging, philosophical and distinctly mysterious at this late »

18 February 2013 7:30 AM, PST | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
...And it runs through the 28th. An eclectic selection from old guard masters and young upstarts the world over, with a few little seen oldies in the mix, the 2013 edition of Film Comment Selects at The Film Society of Lincoln Center is bound to have something for every kind of Twitch reader. On one end of the spectrum there's Ben Wheately's Sightseers and on the other end we have the U.S. premiere of Phillipe Grandrieux's White Epilepsy, which on the title alone piques my interest. Dustin Chang was fortunate enough to catch the selections Gebo And The Shadow, from Portuguese master Manoel de Oliveria, as well as Marco Bellocchio's Dormant Beauty. Here are his thoughts on both: 105 year old Manoel de Oliveira's latest...

Rotterdam 2013. Trembling Disturbed
31 January 2013 11:49 PM, PST | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
By my first afternoon in Rotterdam I had found an image that positively vibrated out of the screen at me. A dark doorway, seen obliquely in an empty frame, contained by stolid, lifeless rural architecture, cloaked in a miasma conjured from a combination of haze, a fogged lens, old film stock, and blown out whites from an open aperture. It is from Letter, a short work, not so much a documentary but a fragment drawn carefully and gently into immanence by Sergei Loznitsa, conjured from footage he shot, the program notes tell me, over ten years ago “at a psychiatric institution in a forgotten corner of Russia.” But even with no text or voice over to place and set this artifact resurrected (or projected), and a soundtrack achingly follied and sneakily dubbed, the sense of lostness, malady and asynchronicity is prevalent. Some persons, mostly old and bumbling, pursue the frame »
