+ Well, looks like LACMA has decided to shut down their film program. Ian Birnie who runs LACMA's film department for the past 13 years will go from full-time to a part-time consultant. LACMA cited loss of $1 million over past decade and declining attendance. Currently the film program will run until October and there still be special screenings that coincide with exhibitions. This is pretty sad for us Angelenos. LA Weekly has more info.
Oh, the only good news is they still have Tuesday matinees so you can still catch those glorious classics still in a theater. And the best part ? The cost is just $2. Next week's film is Summer Stock (1950) with Judy Garland and Gene Kelly.
+ Did you miss the Vice Magazine Photography Exhibition opening reception ? Well, DailyDujour.com was there. Local bloggers Franklin Avenue also checks out Gary Leonard's Billboard exhibition.
+ This I didn't expect. Marketing for "The September Issue" documentary includes ringtones ! One with the secretary saying "Anna Wintour's office" and Andre Leon Talley saying "It is a famine of beauty, honey . My eyes are starving for beauty !" Download them for free here. Opens in LA on Sept 11th.
+ Oh, here's a video about street photography from Clay Enos. Clay did the portraits from The Watchmen movie which came out in a book. The video is pretty simple and he talks about not getting hung up on gear - he has a DSLR, a 50mm lens, and shade area with white seamless gaffer tape to the wall. Simple. "The real magic is the interaction". he tells us.
