Rounding out our coverage of the 2025 Academy Award nominees, we are joined by producers Bill Morrison (“Decasia”, “The Dockworker's Dream”, Dawson City: Frozen Time) and Jamie Kalven (of the Invisible Institute) to discuss their Oscar-nominated short, “Incident,” which depicts the police shooting of Harith “Snoop” Augustus and it's immediate aftermath from several angles. Using body camera and other footage (and only that footage) that the Chicago Police–as required by law, one that Jamie had advocated for in the wake of the coverup of the shooting of Laquan McDonald–Bill has crafted a film which draws upon editing skills built through years of working with archival material, but one which is significantly more immediate and urgent than his previously beautiful and implicitly philosophically profound works. What we witness is two narratives being formed about what happened, and to whom: One from the police, the other from the Southside Chicago community that witnessed the events. And we can see at work the deep causes of what happened embedded in American gun culture and the resulting police policies and practices. “Incident” can be seen on the New Yorker Website.

Welcome to a special new podcast episode from The Film Stage. Here at the site we've long been fans of the work of Bill Morrison, who you may best know from his astounding 2016 archival documentary Dawson City: Frozen Time. The New York-based filmmaker received his first-ever Oscar nomination this year for his short film Incident, which reconstructs a 2018 police shooting in Chicago, reassembling the event and its immediate aftermath from a variety of sources, including surveillance, CCTV, dashboard, and body-worn cameras, as a synchronized split-screen montage. With the film now available to watch for free at The New Yorker, The Film Stage co-founder and host of The B-Side podcast, Dan Mecca, spoke with Morrison about the nomination, the Rashomon-influenced inception of the project, how we grasp memory over time as a series of images, and much more. Enjoy the conversation. Watch Incident here: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-new-yorker-documentary/incident-shows-how-officers-react-when-a-police-killing-is-caught-on-tape
Marco hat sich wieder einmal bei Heiko eingeladen, um ein neues Double-Feature zu besprechen: In "Masters of the Universe" (1987) muss He-Man (Dolph Lundgren) im Kampf gegen die Übermacht des bösen Hexenmeisters Skeletor (Frank Langella) den Rückzug antreten, gemeinsam mit Teela, Man-At-Arms und Orko, äh, Gwildor. Zufällig landen sie auf der Erde wo der epische Kampf kostensparend inszeniert werden kann! Wird He-man über das Böse triumphieren? Können die Masters-Kids vor dem Fernseher dem Streifen noch etwas abgewinnen?! Findet es heraus! In "Switchblade Sisters" (1975), einem Exploitation-Klassiker von Jack Hill, dreht sich alles um die Missetaten vom Pfad der Tugend abgekommener Schülerinnen. Stichwaffen, Koitus, Strafvollzug und viel Konkurrenzkampf unter den wütenden Heranwachsenden und ihren Gangs sorgen für reichlich Trubel.

Descubiertos en 1978 bajo el permafrost en los restos de una piscina en Dawson City —uno de los asentamientos más antiguos del Yukon canadiense— los 588 rollos de film en nitrato que explora Bill Morrison son entre un tesoro y un crisol audiovisual. Tesoro, porque mucho de este material consiste en filmes (y fragmentos de filmes) que se daban por perdidos. Crisol, porque a partir del tratamiento que el cineasta le va dando, los inicios del Siglo XX parecen estar contenidos al completo en un mar de dramas, comedias, registros documentales, devastados por el frío, el agua y la oxidación. Recordar y atrapar el pasado requiere hacerse cargo de sus ruinas, abrazarlas y darles nueva vida, repensarlas, cuestionarlas a partir de lo que hoy somos. Dawson City fue central en la épica y en la miseria de la "fiebre del oro", hoy se ha vuelto central para la historia del cine. De eso y más se habla en este podcast.
Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about filmmakers! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Today, Dan and Conor have a brief, lovely chat with filmmaker Bill Morrison, who blew many cinephiles away with Dawson City: Frozen Time a few years back. We were lucky enough to speak with him then about the film and its inception. This time around, Morrison has a short film called let me come in, which is having its world broadcast premiere as part of the TCM Classic Film Festival on May 7th. let me come in re-purposes footage from the lost 1928 silent film Pawns of Passion with the entrancing touch that only Morrison can employ, accompanied by a new song by composer David Lang and performed by soprano Angel Blue. We discuss the new film with Morrison, the negative review Pawns of Passion actually got from The New York Times back in 1929 (!), and his upcoming film The Village Detective: A Song Cycle, which just recently premiered at the Moscow International Film Festival.

The film centres around the 1978 discovery of 533 reels of film in Dawson City. These works had been sealed within a swimming pool. The unearthed reels tell the story of Dawson City, the dawn of 20th century America, and Hollywood in the silent era. hosted by YiFeng, Lily and Bob. referenced links: Ozu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_Spring Bill Morrison https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Morrison_(director) Brisco County Jr: https://amzn.to/3bfRB4h By Brakhage: An Anthology, Volumes One and Two: https://amzn.to/3bgpZfb Nanook of the North: https://amzn.to/35KPh45 The Magnificent Ambersons: https://amzn.to/35KaFXf Greed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greed_(1924_film) Metropolis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolis_(1927_film) Recorded on January 31, 2020
Marco Catenacci, Francesco Ruzzier, Enrico Cehovin, Alan Viezzoli e Simone Soranna presentano ABCinema con Blow Out!Dopo una serie di appuntamenti dedicati allo SPAZIO nel Cinema è arrivato il momento di affrontare il tema del TEMPO. Anche questa volta un doppio speciale per provare a fare a tracciare una mappa dei possibili significati assunti dal tempo nei film.In questa prima parte ci concentreremo sullo SCORRERE DEL TEMPO: sui 13 anni che ci sono voluti a Richard Linklater per girare Boyhood, sul potere del cinema di fermare il tempo raccontato in Dawson City Frozen Time di Bill Morrison, sul vivere fuori dal tempo del protagonista di Midnight in Paris di Woody Allen e tanti altri esempi.
A hallucinatory cinematic fever dream, Dawson City: Frozen Time tells the bizarre true story of some 533 silent film reels, dating from the 1910s and 20s, that accumulated at the end of a film distribution line in northwestern Canada and which were miraculously discovered some 50 years later, in 1978, buried in a sub-arctic swimming pool, deep in the Yukon permafrost. Filmmaker Bill Morrison (Decasia, The Miners’ Hymns, The Great Flood) deftly combines excerpts from this remarkable collection with historical footage, photographs, and original interviews, to explore the complicated history of Dawson City, a Canadian Gold Rush town founded across the river from a First Nation hunting camp, and then traces how the development of that town both reflected and influenced the evolution of modern Cinema. Combined with a powerful, evocative score by Alex Somers ( Captain Fantastic; Hale County This Morning, This Evening; Honey Boy), orchestrated and arranged by Ricardo Romaneiro, Dawson City: Frozen Time is a triumphant work of art that spins the life cycle of a singular film collection into a breath-taking history of the 20th century. Director, writer and editor Bill Morrison joins us to talk about his amazing re-creation of a time and place that existed in the parallel universes of a nascent film industry and crushing avarice of a gold rush that still resonates today. billmorrisonfilm.com/dawson-city-frozen-time Social Media facebook.com/BillMorrisonFilm twitter.com/decasia

COME SEE THE MASTODON PARADE! Eclectica is back with "The Kid Who Would Be King" - the latest film from Joe Cornish, and in a strange turn of events, Graham and Tim's review features very few references to Adam and Joe. We're sorry. We'll try and make up for it when we do a Jacques Rivette film next week. After that it's our usual Off the Shelf section, which features Second Run's release of Bill Morrison's "Dawson City Frozen Time" - a film that's as much fun to watch as it is to say, and StudioCanal's reissue of the inimitable "Evil Dead 2". Don't worry, we're not the sort of hacks who are going to end the review by saying "Groovy" as we saved that for the show description. Groovy.

It's not often that a recent release strikes such an immediate chord with us that it makes its way into our show rotation so quickly, but I knew from the first few moments of Bill Morrison's Dawson City: Frozen Time (2016) that I wanted to talk about it right away.… The post Episode 070 – Dawson City: Frozen Time appeared first on The Magic Lantern.

This week we chat about fake camping, jerks who brag about pirating movies, Disaster Artist at TIFF, liking movies to be under 90 minutes, Luc Besson, Ben Wheatley, Laserdiscs & VHS, strangely positive distribution changes thanks to having a multiplex nearby, and we forget the name of the late great Michael Parks. We also discuss the movies screening the week of August 4th - 10th: Dawson City: Frozen Time, The Big Sick, A Ghost Story, Hard Boiled, The Ghoul, Raw Meat (aka - Death Line), and we neglect to mention the family matinees of Captain Underpants! Corrections Department - We got her name backwards, it's Rooney Mara, not Mara Rooney
Found footage is a tired trope in horror but those films all manufacture their supposed found footage. That kind of fakery holds no interest for filmmaker Bill Morrison. He is interested in the real deal, genuine footage that has been unearthed, uncovered or just waiting to be found and brought to light. His latest film, "Dawson City: Frozen Time," finds treasures in the arctic ice.
Episode 67 of One Week Only! This week's key film is "Harmonium," about an ex-con who moves in with an old friend and his family, but brings up dark secrets about their shared past. A complex moral drama about buried secrets and the consequences of our past actions, it's a tightly wound thriller about average people trapped by their own mistakes. Directed by Koji Fukada, this Cannes Film Festival award-winner is now playing in New York, and comes to Los Angeles in a few weeks. (47:20) "The Man From Earth" is a beloved cult sci-fi film from 2007 with a devout fan-base who love science-fiction about big ideas & concepts instead of action-packed special effects. At last week's Dances With Films, the sequel "The Man From Earth: Holocene" made it's debut. We interview director Richard Schenkman about continuing the story of John Oldman, bringing in new characters & ideas, and what's in store for the future. (WARNING: Minor Spoilers) (57:40) We also review "Score: A Film Music Documentary" about the creative process of film composers, directed by Matt Schrader (16:10); the tense revenge thriller "Moka" directed by Frédéric Mermoud (26:00); and the haunting documentary "Dawson City: Frozen Time" about a miraculous discovery of lost silent films, directed by Bill Morrison (35:15).
