for frederick wiseman fans/people who are interested in documentary filmmaking/people who consider themselves writers: you may be interested in this recent interview with frederick wiseman: https://soundcloud.com/filmlinc/196-frederick-wiseman

i’ve been attending antimatter media arts festival this week and i want to share some highlights with y’all after processing some of the films i’ve seen some more. but what i can say right now is: support your community arts/weirdo organizations. antimatter admissions are always by donation, and i don’t know how they can afford to do that.
