There is a preview screening of Beyond Clueless at the Cube, Bristol on Friday 16th January. It starts at 8pm and after the screening, there is a Q&A with director Charlie Lyne. There will be an after-party more details will be anounced soon. If you are interested, book your ticket immediately as I have done it, there are 20 or less tickets avaliable. So hurry!!!

Narrated by cult teen star Fairuza Balk, Beyond Clueless is a dizzying journey into the mind, body and soul of the teen movie, as seen through the eyes of over 200 modern coming-of-age classics.

my insperation for nantes

“The last stop for our Ooh Euro Nasty Tour was probably our most fun, as we had an awesome place with a swing, and went on an epic bike ride, and we also watched Soo Zee almost kill a guy! Subscribe for more Videos!- eatyourkimchi”

when i first watched this video the day it came out it inspired me for when we go to nantes as I liked the way that is both fun and engaging but also takes in the city. I also like the bike ride with the go pros i think it would be cool to do something like that.

No Budge film competition

Found a great film competition website that showcases truly zero budget movies.
Some of the films that got the biggest awards really did not seem that difficult to make, and are all still very enjoyable and not very tedious. Some that didn't get awards are better than the ones that won.
Worth checking out.

Neo Realism

https://vimeo.com/68514760

This video essay about the film 'Terminal Station' offers a brilliant and also incredibly artful look at how the Neo-realism genre separates itself from generic Hollywood style films with its use of holding onto takes, withdrawing exposition and decentralisation of characters.

What makes the essay re-watchable and stand out from the crowd is the use of storytelling within it, the narrator of the essay actually addresses the two cuts of the films as if he has transported back in time and told two movie makers from different cultures to create a film together, it took me a while to finally figure out that this was indeed two cuts of the same film (One released in America and one in Italy) but the way that the narrator positions the essay like this makes you view the film in a different and more innovative way.

Its well worth a watch to really understand and feel the essence of Neo-Realism.
