hello all

Im on the island working the summer there and yes its great (apart for today where its rain, thunder and lightening) but I dont have 24 hour internet access and with my job its been extremely hard to get internet access but i hope to the blog started very shortly. If im unable to do it I plan for the blog to be restarted end of summer, but hey im going to give it a go now!!! Ive also had to stop my main blog the peoples movies but my is for that is to restart end of summer, so your talking end of october time to kick off winter countdown!!!
thank you so much for everyone who still supports the blogs its hard intense but fun work and i wont be giving up and if october is when i have to restart have a great summer and enjoy the movies the summer has to offer

Short Film: Guy Maddin's NIGHT MAYOR
source ThePlaylist
Below is the latest short film from Guy Maddin called NIGHT MAYOR.
The film is about Nihad Ademi, an inventor from Bosnia who immigrates to Winnipeg. He builds, with his children, a machine called the "Telemodium" which uses the waves of Aurora Borealis to broadcast footage of "every day life for every day people." The footage is shown in different parts of Canada, coast to coast. Eventually, people begin to take to these images and start broadcasting their own, that is, until the police get involved.
The movie lasts 13 minutes and is shot in glorious black and white like his previous work of My Winnepeg a documentary about Maddin's home city. The whole style I would describe as experimental, original shot in the style of the black & white movies of the early 1900's and this short movie is online courtesy of NFB -National Film Board of Canada and they describe the auteur as "an imaginative cinematic riff on the significance of a public film producer." Guy Maddin is very new to me and when I watched this short I got the feeling I liked what I was watching but if you asked me why I couldn't say but he is a very proud Canadian and his previous cv contains alot of Canadianesque projects, check it out Night Mayor below;
Trailer For YEAR OF THE CARNIVORE
When you go to a film festival alot of the movies screened are without film distributors for certain countries and off course showning there movie at a particular festival can help the movie get that elusive distribution rights. Even when you do get it, sometimes you may have to wait a very long time to see the movie on a theatrical release and YEAR OF THE CARNIVORE by Sook-Yin Lee is one example of how long you have to wait.
First screened away back September 2009 at Toronto Film Festival, the movie has now been picked up by E1 Entertainment and they have posted a full trailer online, check it out below after the break . There's no news on when it actually will be release but do expect a summer release, as for UK & Ireland no word if it'll get a release.
