--Some interesting links

1. I have just found this website – cinebeats.
http://cinebeats.blogsome.com/

This site is highly recommended for FILMSICK and khun PC. It is full of great stuff about films from the 1960s & 1970s, and it also has many beautiful songs you can listen to, including songs from:

1.1 Georges Delerue – LE MEPRIS (Jean-Luc Godard)

1.2 Bruno Nicolai
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_Nicolai

"Bruno Nicolai (1926 - 1991) was an Italian film music composer, orchestra director, and musical editor most active in the 1960s through the 1980s. While studying piano and composition at the Santa Cecilia Conservatory in Rome, he befriended Ennio Morricone and formed a long working relationship, with Nicolai eventually conducting for and co-scoring films with Morricone. Nicolai also scored a number of giallo exploitation films for director Jess Franco."

1.3 Alessandro Alessandroni
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alessandro_Alessandroni

"Alessandro Alessandroni (born March 16, 1925 in Rome) is an Italian musician. He plays multiple instruments, including the guitar, mandolin, sitar, accordion, and piano, and has composed over 40 film scores.

Being an accomplished whistler, Alessandroni collaborated with his childhood friend Ennio Morricone on a number of soundtracks for Spaghetti westerns. Morricone's orchestration often calls for an unusual combination of instruments and voices. Alessandroni can be heard as the whistler on the soundtracks for Sergio Leone's films A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in the West, Giu la testa, and many others."


2. I just learned from Girish Shambu's blog about Apichatpong Weerasethakul's interview in REVERSE SHOT.

Excerpt from the interview:

"This kind of response shows the mentality of people, that they’re very not in tune. I’m not talking about freedom in the American sense; I’m talking about basic things like being able to say whatever we want to say. But we cannot. Some people don’t have this sense because they’ve been under this mind control for a long time, and it’s become part of their mentality. So for me, if we get real change, we’ll be ok. We can say more things but not everything, and those people can stay in their shells and they’ll be happy. It’s not affecting them anyway."


3.For people who love avant-garde films, you can read many articles on avant-garde films from the avant-garde blog-a-thon held in August last year. The links to all these articles can be found in Girish Shambu's blog here:
