Kristian Matsson and Amanda Bergman (The Tallest Man on Earth and Idiot Wind) have written seven new folk-based compositions between them, as the score for new Swedish flick En Gang Om Aret ( Once A Year ). Once A Year is Gorki Glaser-Müllers debut feature. With a narrative device similar to David Nichols' One Day , the film explores the relationship between a man and a woman who've met in different hotel rooms once a year, for the past thirty years, now struggling with the unexpected path their [...]

Click here to view the embedded video. A lovingly crafted, independent documentary directed by Jon Spira, Anyone Can Play Guitar focuses on the Oxford music scene between 1978 and 2007: on bands that made it and those, like The Candyskins , whose luck always seems to run out. Inspired by the closure of The Zodiac in Oxford, a venue that lost its independence to the corporate Academy Music Group, the film tells the stories of, (amongst others), Radiohead , Ride , Foals , Swervedriver and Supergrass . It [...]

Sigur Rós: Festival (Live) from Sigur Rós on Vimeo . [ via sigur-ros.co.uk ] Inni is Sigur Rós' second live film following 2007's tour documentary Heima . Whereas that film positioned the group in the context of their Icelandic homeland, providing geographical, social and historical perspectives on their music, Inni focuses purely on the band's performance, and stands as a stark counterpoint to Heima's kaleidoscopic richness. Where Heima was lush and colorfully expansive, Inni is spare and near-monochromatic [...]
by Bill Pearis The Jay Reatard documentary Better Than Something shows tonight (11/8) at the IFC Center at 8:30 PM . (It also showed this past Friday.) The film began as a short film to help promote Jay's final album, Watch Me Fall, but directors Ian Markiewicz and Alex Hammond decided to expand it to a feature film before his untimely death [...]

Here is tonight's Boston Accents playlist, and it's a fucking doozy. We kicked it off with a double shot of THE FAUX, then rolled back to the early-'00s for some post-millennial garage... Support indie media! Read the rest at thephoenix.com . . .
I finally got a chance to check out The Royale over the weekend when I went to see the deliciously-warped film The Last Circus . I don't think I could even begin to describe what I witnessed throughout the couple of hours I spent watching it, but it's something the less squeamish amongst you have to witness. As for the theater, I love the space. Even though it appears to be unfinished, the spot is already dripping with class and they've been screening some really wonderful films. They're showing one of my favorite films on Friday night [...]
Here's a short that David Lewandowski , an animation artist based in Los Angeles, made for the final episode of Everything , an anthology series at Channel 101. When he first comes around the corner, I fear it might be the single greatest thing I've ever seen. Is this stop motion animation? Or CGI? Or a skilled combination of the two? The feel-good music is by early French electronic music pioneer Jean Jacques Perrey, otherwise known as one half of Perrey and Kingsley. He [...]
Below you can watch the (albeit French) trailer for the Lynne Ramsay directed adaption of the Lionel Shriver novel from 2003, with music scored by Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood. Whoever designed the poster, has clearly seen Rosemary's Baby . The plot follows a mother's (Tilda Swinton) recount of the events leading up to, and following, her son's massacre of students and teachers at his high school. The first theme absolutely screams Yann Tiersen, whilst the dissonant second is far more reminiscent of Greenwood's style and the film's creepy undertones. [...]
Photos by G. Guillermo Del Toro and G A tale of 2 G's! I love director Guillermo Del Toro. His movies such as "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Hellboy" are so great! He was in New York at a pre-screening of the latest film he produced - "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark." Being totally honest, I didn't care much for the film. It will make you jump out of your seat a few times, and it is certainly well produced. The creatures in the film also are [...]
Photo by G. Katie Holmes and Geoffrey Dicker As much as I steer clear of trying to read tabloids, it's hard to escape seeing pictures of Katie Holmes on a weekly basis splashed across the front page. She's married to Tom Cruise and they have a baby together. Apparently, that is interesting to people these days (read: if you had a life of your own, you wouldn't have time to poke your nose into someone else's business). I went to an advance screening of the new [...]
