WELLESNET MESSAGE BOARD

Short of forced confiscation or a major cultural shift, our great-great-great-grandchildren will live side-by-side with the guns we have today and make tomorrow. That also means that we’re far closer to the beginning of the plague of mass public shootings with military-style weapons than we are to ...

Likewise!

Thanks, Craig! Wish I could, but it looks like it's too far from the DC metro (i.e., Metro) area (I don't drive). I do hope you'll post about it on Wellesnet later. Sounds like fun!

P.S. - I'll be doing a lost MYSTERIOUS TRAVELER episode live, next month in the D.C. area.

Wonderful! Thanks.

Was there a link to the Richard France interview? I didn't see one (but could have just missed it). Thanks.

From an interview with Jean-Luc Godard’s cinematographer Fabrice Aragno in the current (January/February 2018) issue of Film Comment. Make of it what you will: Q: Could you talk a bit more about what you do with the material JLG gives you—the edit he has made with his DVCAM recorder from what he pla...

I received one, too (as an MP4 file). It's breathtaking.

Excellent essay that just hit my inbox:

Nice "shout outs" and "standing ovations" by the host for Wellesnet, Other Wind and the two documentaries.
