Whew. new site design. figuring out how to integrate the movable type template is in the works. i'm brushing up on my css as we speak.

The Center for Visual Music is releasing an Oskar Fischinger DVD on May 15. Pre-orders are available through the website. $30 for home use or $200 for institutions. To my knowledge, this is the only place to get Fischenger's work outside of an older VHS and the pricey Unseen Cinema - Early American Avant Garde Film DVD set.

Don Hertzfeldt's bitter films volume one: 1995-2005 will open for pre-orders in May. Whooooooooo! Now you can get Lily and Jim, Billy's Balloon, and Rejected (and others) all in one place. (as opposed to the Short Cinema Journal... r.i.p.)

random link of the day:
Cary Fukunaga's Victoria para Chino looks great, but truly oddball is the user comment left on the short's imdb page. Is it a joke? I can't tell. It must be one of his friends...
