Oil and Water: Three Films by Nikos Nikolaidis
by Dylan Adamson At about the half hour mark of Nikos Nikolaidis’ Morning Patrol (1987), the unnamed lead character wanders into an empty movie theater, drawn by the sounds of Rita Hayworth’s “Put The Blame on Mame” echoing down the street outside. In from a post-apocalyptic Balkan wasteland, she quickly finds herself ensconced in the warm glow of old Hollywood. As in Goodbye, Dragon Inn … Continue reading Oil and Water: Three Films by Nikos Nikolaidis

Helke Misselwitz: Moving East to West Amidst the Sperrmüll
Reflections on Bulky Trash (Helke Misselwitz, 1991) by Elspeth Vischer Reflections on labour and parenting in the final days of the GDR are framed within an interesting dichotomy of music and creative freedom in Helke Misselwitz’s documentary Sperrmüll (Bulky Trash).

The Raw and the Cooked: Larry Gottheim’s ‘Corn’ (1970)
Corn captures a static, but never contained view of an ordinary moment in the kitchen, accounting for the ways in which evening sunlight falls into the room and emanating vapor textures the air. Continue reading The Raw and the Cooked: Larry Gottheim’s ‘Corn’ (1970)
