"La Jetee" de Chris Marker, Version Integrale

i apologize to those who don't speak french or spanish, this is an incredible movie that i want all of you to see! (also if you get a chance, rent "El Postino", about Pablo Neruda's postman while he is exiled in Italy, beautiful!)

PART 1 (approx. 9 min)



PART 2 (approx. 9 min)



PART 3 (approx. 9 min)



quote from Chris Marker : "Mais les outils existent maintenant - et c'est tout à fait nouveau - pour qu'un cinéma de l'intimité, de la solitude, un cinéma élaboré dans le face à face avec soi-même - celui du peintre ou de l'écrivain - ait accès à un autre espace que celui du film expérimental." (Entretien avec Dolores Walfisch)

Deep inside

All roads [this is Highway 281]

lead to Rome [this is Russell, KS],

where Korn is all over the curb, and G. Ford and B. Dole launched the 1976 presidential campaign in front of the Russell County Court House on Aug. 20th, 1976.

The New Deal made working class into art in the Russell, KS post office.

Wednesday, I m flying to NYC,

But tomorrow, tuesday the 19th, I'll be running on errands and to the embassy in the City.
If anyone wants to come, meet me at 11 am inside the powel bart station, right after the gates coming from Berkeley.
Otherwise, I'll probably see you next year...

Bisous to you.

... um...do you have some ...?

just kidding. im really not an addict.

Looking foreward to talking to all of you with my mouth full tomorrow morning. Two questions: What is Tisch's address? Does anyone have a cheese-grater that they could bring?
many kisses

Sophie lives at the house on the corner of Haste and Fulton. North side of the street. Cute stairs.
For Juliette:
Bibia cannot reply, but she told me that if they want to come it is mandatory that they bring alcohol. Mandatory.
Mh, your feet are kinda big, I don't think they're gonna fit.

How are we going there tomorrow? I mean we elitarian europeans who do not personally know Robin.

*TONIGHT*

Guys, all of you, Bibia and I are here communicating the close-future events:
• 6pm: Bibia and Nico go to Nico's place to leave there their bags and stuff, as no backpack of any sort is allowed into the greektheatre
• 7pm: the rally starts, and by that time we should be in
• 8ish/9ish: we go back to nico's place to dress up for Wolf's Fuck Like Bunnies party, and have dinner.
• 10ish: the party starts, and at around that time we'll get there.
• 1 am: as usual, the co-op parties end at this time. i suggest we go get boba then.

Battle of the universities

What about experiencing a real American thing and going to the big pre Stanford game Rallye tomorrow night at the Greek Theater?
We could meet a little before, around 6:00 pm at FSM and then go there together.
What do you think?

I'll be studying at the usual place between 6 and 10 tonight.

string bean theory

And this is why it is so important to be alone and attentive when one is sad: because the apparently uneventful and fixed moment at which our future sets foot in us is so much closer to life than that other loud and fortuitous point of time at which, as from outside, it happens to us. The more still, more patient and more open we are when we are sad, so much the deeper and so much the more unswervingly the new goes into use, so much the better do we take it to ourselves, so much the more will it be our destiny, and we shall, when on some later day it "happens" (that is, goes forth out of us to others), feel in our inmost selves akin and near to it. And that is necessary.

- Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Light in the dark

Where there is shadow it is to create light.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all. I am grateful I found you.

Dreams

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
.
Langston Hughes (1902-1967)
