Saw The Turin Horse at NYFF with Bela Tarr Q&A. Audience member asks "Why is this your final film?." Tarr stares at her for a bit, turns around to look at the movie screen, then turns back to her and shouts "What the fuck is there left to say!?" RIP to one of the greatest.

WTO/99 Is a Documentary We Need To See Right Away
Despite being composed entirely of news/found/archival footage (no talking heads, no voice over), the documentary WTO/99 nevertheless has the aspect of a dream.

Not sure how to convey how stunned Ian Bell and I are for being nominated by the IDA for their Best Editing award. I do not recommend trying to whittle down roughly 1,000 hours of archival footage into something coherent, but obliterating our brains was totally worth it in this specific case.

Last Four Watched. Still bummed I missed The Mastermind at
#NYFF63
due to a late plane, messy JFK, Tunnel to Towers traffic, etc. I always miss Kelly Reichardt if she's in my vicinity. Fine set of films overall, but WTO/99 knocked me out in ways I didn't expect--and I was there.
