Plus some John Whitney extracts from 1961 in anticipation of the screening at the BFI next Thursday. Unbelievable analogue graphics and precursor to Scanomation.

Karpo Godina and The Whitney Brothers
The Believer magazine's film 2010 edition included this excellent DVD of Karpo Godina's short films, a great slice of the Yugoslavian Black Wave. Here's my favourite from the DVD 'The Gratinated Brains of Pupilia Ferkeverk' (1970), featuring the performative troop Pupilia Ferkeverk.

Northern Winter Begins!
Tonight for the first time in 400 years there will be a total lunar eclipse of the moon on a winter solstice! The darkest day in the year will be celebrated with the eclipse seen from Northern America, Greenland and Iceland. Luckily I am just off Vancouver Island although it is currently quite overcast with snow clouds.
Happy Solstice!
