Maybe a mod would be kind enough to do the edit for us. Also, you're more than welcome.
Well well, this shall be rather interesting then. I guess you guys are a lot more into the kind of stuff I'm starting to get into now (non-english speaking cinema). I did saw a good number of non-english films of course, but not that much.
Also, I guess I haven't mentioned; in August I will be starting my Cinema course in college, making this even cooler.
Heathcliff, is it a general cinema course, or does it have a focus?
I'm just starting to get more into foreign films lately, more or less thanks to Lance and Laz. I still watch plenty of shit, but I try to sprinkle in better fare here and there.....be it foreign or domestic.
Yeah, of course here my only way to get to see this kind of stuff is through the internet (torrents); I live in Brazil and we're always short on money on my house so while I rent a lot of movies, it's hard to come across any film that's a little more rare and I don't have the money to buy the dvds from foreign sites.
Back to the films, lately I've watched the Kurosawa classics, Funny Games... which is in english but it's from an Austrian director and a few others. I've download some Fritz Lang too, which soon I'll watch.
Well, I would call it general. I mean, we'll be learning about the whole making process; so that anyone graduating in it can either go for the marketing area directing commercials and stuff like that or go for a more auctorial cinema (which is my intention). We'll be able to shoot, creating our own shorts and exhibit them on festivals here in Brazil, that's a part I'm especially anxious for.
If you've looking for some more Japanese cinema, check out Ozu, Kobayashi, Mizoguchi, Oshima...
That's fantastic. I thought that you meant a cinema history or analysis course, but hey, production courses for the ultimate win. I'm taking Single-Cam Production, Writing for Narrative Media, and Post-Production next semester for my Media Production major, which is kind of similar, I guess.
Making shorts for festivals is pretty painstaking, but rewarding. Do they have 48 Hour fests as well?
Oh thanks , I do have a particular interest in japanese cinema indeed. Mizoguchi is on my list for ages now by the way. But I added the other three, I'll take a look on their filmography and see which particular films interest me the most to see first.
Harakiri.
That is all.
Congrats on everything, man. I wish you well.
Yes, listen to Lance, he knows his Asians very well.
We should start a new thread. Something like Interference Movie Club I - (Movie Title).
Just so people dont have to dig if they havent been following along in the thread to figure out what the movie of the fortnight (!) is. Then the next person in line will start the thread when the time comes. It will be like a little surprise to see what movie name is next to the thread name. Doesnt that sound like fun, you guys?
It might also work out nicely that all the discussion on each film is contained within its own thread. If someone wanted to go back and reference a particular movie, it would be all in one neat little package
