LINKS FOR ESR CONTRIBUTORS I've been truly blessed to have some talented people writing in these pages, and these guys are all movers and shakers in their own right. So, let's honour their other achievements. KIDDIE FILMS and MEXICAN MONSTERS Rob Craig has done mammoth websites devoted to K Gordon Murray and the good old kiddie matinee! Check them out! THE MYSTERIOUS VAULT David Faris' musings on books, music and other things can be found here. BOOTDISK Skot Deeming gives us a jolt of wild videos and hilarious pop cultural musings right here. HYPER REALITY Learn all about Simon St. Laurent's work-in-progress, and read his articles too. Get hyper-real! This space is reserved for whenever Dion Conflict gets a website, but until then... see his blog. |

Jason Pankoke's fine publication Micro-Film, all about
independent film, based in Chicago.(Why am I plugging the competition? Because I'm a nice guy and everything, plus we're all necessary components of the big picture.) And from Michigan, check out Cashiers du Cinemart, Mike White's equally fine film publication. At Super 8 Porter, check out the massive filmography, photos and articles by the prolific filmmaker John Porter, also a great ESR supporter and a tireless advocate for independent screenings. |

We've had the good fortune to screen and review some quality features and shorts by independent filmmakers. Here are links for you to check out their work. Keep the light shining. Bill Daniel- Who Is Bozo Texino? Craig Baldwin's one-stop shopping-- Other Cinema The glorious experimental films of Robert Todd The incredible Super 8 work of John Porter Rob Nilsson-- a man whose work has had a personal influence on me. Cube Van, the on-demand cult hit that keeps on trucking! |
Whoever told you that DVD is killing the big screen experience, well, here are some independent venues that keep on going. Take time to support them. How could I not start the list with Trash Palace? Cinematheque Ontario offers lots of world cinema and you can't beat the free independent series in the spring and fall. Check out Pleasuredome, a regular series of independent-experimental film and video. When will Cinecycle get a website? Until then, thank John Porter. The Cinema Studies Student Union offers free screenings of films on Friday nights at Innis Town Hall. Often they have sneak previews of soon-to-be released films, too. ...and in Hamilton, check out The Factory, a great art gallery which also holds monthly screenings. |
