24.01.2022 One of the best artworks I've ever known of, Andrei Tarkovski's The Sacrifice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlV4k2GNGmo&t=29s

23.01.2022 I'm feeling identified with this Buster Keaton photo How about we do a Buster Keaton screening? I have a couple of his black and white films from 1930s, hilarious stuff, Woodface Keaton was a genius!

22.01.2022 Deep statements by Allan Moore, "the best graphic novel writer in history", about all arts, career and market.

19.01.2022 This is a really excellent film about images, art and ethics. Ethics and Aesthetics is the essence of art. Check out this film on MUBI: War Photographer https://mubi.com/films/war-photographer

18.01.2022 In September, very old classics: Georges Méliès, the first special effects in cinema, A Trip to the Moon, 1902, 18 minutes; and Buster Keaton, the genius comedian with his film The General, 1926, 1h 47m, trailer here https://youtu.be/O-aSWJqGFQ8

15.01.2022 Ages Varda is a very interesting French filmmaker, her films seem to let us taste the strategies used to make the film, there’s a sense of honesty in her style, very personal, very artistic. Agnes Varda passed away very recently, she was a great artist. This Sunday 2 June, at 6:00pm, we are repeating her great film Jane B. Par Agnes V., 1988, 1h 37m

13.01.2022 I found this, I hope you all enjoy it. Maybe there’s something about the CoVid-19 paranoia in this: https://youtu.be/mb16vp1eeYU

10.01.2022 Sunday 21 July 2019, The Homesman, dramatic western directed by Tommy Lee Jones. 2 hours runtime. Screening start: 7:30pm https://youtu.be/Cn0QYs_9LK8 Mparntwe Arthouse Cinema critique on the film: We see that unfortunately there’s a certain lack of sensitivity in those who don't see this film as extraordinary. We consider this work an Arthouse film and we welcome and celebrate Tommy Lee Jones’s courage and outstanding talent creating, directing, playing the main acting role, producing, casting... this film, a complete and mature master of filmmaking. Arthouse is not just industrial filmmaking focused in entertainment, you have to earn it and then it feeds your mind and your soul. Everyone welcome, 48 Giles St., East Side, NT 0870

08.01.2022 Last night the Chilean director Sebastián Alarcón, who lived in Russia since the fascist USA military coup in Chile in 1973, died in Russia. I've just added "Story of a Billiard Team", 1988 to his filmography in Wikipedia. It's a sad day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastián_Alarcón

08.01.2022 Cinephiles, our next screening will be on Saturday 22 June, at 5pm, Stanley Kubrick’s legendary 2001, A Space Odissey, 1968, 2h 44m. If you’re curious, I found a series of videos about the making of 2001, several episodes covering every detail of this amazing production. https://youtu.be/AgNyCluIRhA

05.01.2022 This evening, in Brisbane, at the collective House Conspiracy, at 7pm, the first Mparntwe Arthouse Cinema screening in this city, Georges Méliès’ Trip to the Moon; and Buster Keaton’s The General. If you have friends in Brisbane, let them know, the address is 42 Mollison St, South Brisbane, next to Coles in West End.

02.01.2022 An article about Terry Gilliam's Brazil, published by The New York Times in January 1986. Brazil costed USD$15,000,000 and only made USD$9,900,000 in box office. Universal Pictures tried to force Gilliam to change the ending to a "happy ending" to make the film more commercial. Art met reality right there. Brazil is, I don't have any doubt, one of the best arthouse films ever made. https://www.nytimes.com//how-terry-gilliam-found-a-happy-e

02.01.2022 Flash announcement for tomorrow Sunday 19 May 2019, at 6:00pm, Mparntwe Arthouse Cinema will screen the very artistic docudrama Jane B. Par Agnes V., an Agnès Varda portrait of the actress, model and singer Jane Birkin when she turned 40 years old, like a birthday present and a reflection on feminism, female beauty, cinema and art. Everyone is invited. Bringing some nibbles and/or a drink to share is always welcomed but your presence is what truly matters, I hope to see you here! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_B._par_Agnès_V. https://youtu.be/nATEW42x75I
