The Film Society of Lincoln Center has today announced the fourth edition of Art of the Real, their essential showcase for boundary-pushing nonfiction film, scheduled to take place April 20 – May 2. Billed as “a survey of the most vital and innovative voices in nonfiction and hybrid filmmaking,” this year’s showcase features an eclectic, globe-spanning host of discoveries, including seven North American premieres and eight U.S. premieres.

If ever there was a city that embraced variety, San Sebastián is surely it. From its wide boulevards and art nouveau buildings, where Spanish royalty took time off in the 19th century, to its Bay of Biscay beaches that see surfers mixing with families and the higgledy-piggledy Old Town, where every bar is groaning under the weight of creative canapes (pintxos), this is a town that celebrates its own strengths while still being open to adventure. The same could be said of its film festival, which just celebrated its 62nd year and fourth edition under the directorship of José Luis […]...

Screen previews the Sarajevo Film Festival’s industry events, which includes a UK focus, the annual Regional Forum and highlights of the Work in Progress and CineLink projects.
Over the last ten years, Southeast Europe’s most important film event Sarajevo Film Festival has also become its main industry hub.
What started in 2003 with CineLink, a co-production market initially modeled after Rotterdam’s CineMart, has developed into an increasingly wide array of industry events, simultaneously expanding from the region towards Caucasus countries, and in recent years aiming to spread its activities and networking overseas, in partnerships with the Doha Film Institute, the Arab Fund for Arts & Culture, and from this year, Instituto Mexicano de Cinematografía (Imcine).
While the Industry Days peak in the final part of the festival, from August 20-23, its activities started on Sunday [17], with the presentation of the newly established Sarajevo City of Film Fund.

Senses of Cinema editor Rolando Caputo introduces the new issue: "For some time now, Senses has wanted to publish an English language translation of Jean-Baptiste Thoret's seminal article, 'The Seventies Reloaded: (What does the cinema think about when it dreams of Baudrillard?),' first published in French in 2005. So, it has been some wait, but finally we've got our wish thanks to a translation by Daniel Fairfax that does full justice to the original. Thoret is both one of the most esteemed scholars on Baudrillard's writings (a long-term Editor-in-Chief of Panic, a French journal closely associated with Baudrillardian thought), and a specialist of the American cinema of the post-classical Hollywood period (author of Le Cinéma américain des années 70, 2006). Both strands come together in sticking fashion in 'The Seventies Reloaded.'"

TLC premieres the new tattoo reality show NY Ink tonight at 10 Pm Est. Taking place in Soho (at the Wooster Street Social Club), it will feature feature Miami Ink's Ami James and a bunch of new personalities as they attempt to become the "it" tattoo shop in NY. One of those new personalities is gay shop manager Robear, who should be a great addition to the diversity of gays on TV (although when i see his name, I automatically think, "Make it out to Hair By Robaire." My undying love to whoever gets that reference). And it's great we can add to our list of hot Tattooed Love Boys.

We have to ask. Does anyone at the FCC speak Spanish?
José Luis Sin Censura (Translation: Jose Luis Uncensored) is a hugely popular Spanish-language talk show that owes its format to Jerry Springer, with host José Luis presiding over nasty brawls among guests and a jeering studio audience hurling jeers. All too often, the guests being physically and verbally abused are gay (or perceived as gay), and the the chanted audience insults are Spanish-language equivalents of "faggot" such as "maricón," "puto" and "puñal."
GLAAD, together with The National Hispanic Media Coalition (Nhmc) first appealed to the show's producers to tone down the ugliness. Getting nowhere with that, the two organizations eventually launched an online petition and filed a complaint with the FCC.
The FCC appears to have taken no action and, if anything, Jose Luis Censura now seems emboldened to air even worse misogyny and homophobia. This is a nationally syndicated show,...

Buzz: To preem at both Venice and Toronto, this might be the first film to measure the impact and utility of film festivals on the perspective of the filmmaker which in this case was Guerín 2007's In the City of Sylvia. I imagine that sitting in an audience watching this film in the context of Tiff will be a very "meta" experience. The Gist: Filmmaker Jose Luis Guerin documents his experience during a year of travelling as a guest of film festivals to present his previous film. What emerges is a wonderfully humane and sincere portrayal of the people that he meets when he goes off the beaten track in some of the world's major cities.
