An excellent piece from Shannon Noble.
Shannon is a maker of remarkably finely judged
videos which often amaze but never sit up and beg.
Here he tackles, with both grace & restraint, something
that I suppose could loosely be described as a genre
film: the sports documentary.
OK, the poetic sports documentary.

The Rhizome mailing list became a more predictable & somehow
less exciting place when wit, polymath & provocateur Max Herman
hung up his mouse for a while. He’s back there now & he’s here too,
with some ice hockey action for your delectation, being a section
from a longer work entitled Perseverance.
Says Max, “If I can choose keywords, can they be ‘hockey, millennium,
glasperlenspiel, perseverance, history?’ ”
Of course they can, Max, of course.
(PS Watch the movie, it’s quite lovely)

One of the great pleasures of working with Doron on dvblog is the sneak
previews I get of his new work.
It never fails to astonish and move me.
Here are two recent pieces, both, loosely speaking, portraiture.
When I think or write about Doron’s work two words insist on themselves time and time again.
One is mysterious and the other is humane.
Watch these pieces and see why, then go and check out all of Doron’s work.
