    ★★★★

    What really makes this featurette interesting is the fact that they're restoring this during the switchover from DVD to Blu-Ray.

    They could have very easily remastered this with a 2K DI but they really went all out - I guess it mostly comes down to the film's reputation but I'm glad they had that sort of forward thinking.

    How do I get a job as a film archivist or restorer?

I think on its face it’s really difficult to engage with, but I personally found its meditations about art really truthful, if juvenile sometimes (but also, it’s art school, so I think juvenile navel gazing is kinda a given).

    Light on structure…

    I would say the most important thing I've made myself learn this year is that sharing one's art doesn't always have to be about attention and validation. I have found that, first and foremost, it's communication. Yes it feels nice to be told nice things about what you do, but it's the pathways that it opens to a deeper connection that truly matter in the long run.

    I spend too much time in my life as an artist worrying about…
