The Revisionaries

noreply@blogger.com (atelegs) — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 11:11:00 +0000

More dogma peddling assholes. This time it's the Americans (well, certain ones in positions of authority) doing what the Chinese and the Japanese have been doing for years - tweaking or outright revising historical and scientific fact away from the truth in school curricula.

Here's the trailer:

Lives of the Artists

noreply@blogger.com (atelegs) — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 19:49:00 +0000

I first saw this film at a festival at Rich Mix (Shoreditch, London) a couple of years ago. The film's Producer from Relentless and the Director were there and did a lengthy Q&A session afterwards. A small group of us went to the pub with them afterwards to chat further.

The film follows the lives of three quite different artists and perfectly captures their drive and promise of no compromise.

What an awesome film. . . . When you've got an hour or so spare with no distractions, grab an alcoholic beverage, blow it to full screen, turn it up and. . . watch:
