vote keiller + poetry competition
I do believe that Patrick Keiller is Britain's greatest living director. There's nothing a viewing of London or Robinson in Space won't cure. He's speaking here too.
On a Cine tip, Kino Fist will most likely be back on May 31st. It's a busy month for film, what with all the 68ery, so we'll turn up at the end. The theme is 'work' and we'll most likely be screening Godard's very rare 'British Sounds' and Schrader's 1978 Blue Collar. Contributions on either of these two films, or the theme of work more broadly, welcomed (illustrations, texts, photos). Please email to infinitethought[at]hotmail.co.uk.
Lately I seem to be receiving a disproportionate amount of poems, both by email and at work. Does the warm weather stimulate some dormant linguistic impulse? Do I look/read like the kinda gal that would like a good poem? I can only assume oui.
In fact, let's have another competition! Best poem (according to me) wins a book and a CD of my choosing. I'll publish all results on the blog (unless they're fucking offensive), so sign your name at the end of your entry in the way you want me to put it up here. You have until Monday evening! [Hmm, thinks to self, wonder if anyone will enter. Ponders how long it would take to make up several poems.] I am particularly keen on nonsense verse, acrostics, palindromes, burlesque, epigrams and poetry written in the shape of an object.
