One of your hosts has a new desk this episode and to demonstrate its versatility spends the first 8 minutes or so of the episode folding laundry. Mundane chores present a nice way for The Say Reporters to dip their heads into some of the darker things that have been going on in the country the past week and helps support the ways we find to distract from all that negativity. Devon has decided to distract himself by jumping back in to the world of TMNT: Splintered Fate using the new DLC featuring Casey Jones as an excuse and while the new content has fixed a lot of the issues he was experiencing with the game there are some new wrinkles to discuss. Sejohn meanwhile has utilized film and television as his distractions and lovely discussions about the first season of “Creature Commandos” and the films he got to watch at this year's Sundance Festival abound

If you CLICK ON TEXT IN CAPITALS in below's article, you will access the links to the respective subject! Welcome to Season 10, Episode 12 of the Thoth-Hermes Podcast.  This afternoon's dialogue finds Rudolf and Brian Cotnoir in circulatio on the experience of alchemy.  Distilled in the process, Brian shares on his life as an author, filmmaker, and practicing physical alchemist of over 50 years.  Please, listen for dispersion.  Then CONSIDER HIS TITLES, On Alchemy (2023), Alchemy the Poetry of Matter (2017), many other publications and Zines! Brian received his initiation of the Adult Library Card in 7th Grade, along with the core occult section maxim “don't tell your parents”.  We can speculate that many listeners would report a similar awakening.  His first fleeting (20 minute) experience of New York City's Weiser bookstore was also nascent.  Continuing to function in consensus reality, Brian majored in Chemistry and minored in Physics, spending time also working at Weiser Books.  An MFA in Film followed.  Brian's work on the big screen has been aired by HBO, PBS, Sundance Festival, and other luminary recognitions.  Parallel to this, Brian has experimented as a true alchemist of physical matter- from mercury dime-making, to tea, to the slightly less mundane: all insightful to the “art of arts and the art of the creative act”.  Brian and Rudolf explore the esoteric discomfort with material and matter.  Brian observes “you think because you have a brain”, recentering the necessity of both psyche and matter.  Both men find parallels between matter and the creative process- Brian, in filmmaking and Rudolf in opera and stagecraft.  The Secrets of the Maze are also ventured, as well as the Process of Reading.  The conversation honors the human capacity for alchemical action as a gift and possible mission from the larger source.  Our ability to separate, clarify, and recombine are core tasks to any creative endeavor, including the journey of an individual lifetime.  Brian shares insight around his Zine making, as well as an invitation for future seekers to work the Zine themes into larger creations.  Brian will be featuring at the November 19th 2023 “SUNDAY ZINE FAIR” at the Brooklyn Museum, and welcomes any listeners to join him in conversation at that time. Brian's zines and books are available in Europe through: Watkins Books carries the books online, the physical shop carries the zines. IglooTree, an online shop, carries the books and all the zines On Alchemy: Essential Practices and Making Art as Alchemy available through Watkins Books in London. Brian and I encourage folks to order copies through their local physical bookstores.

La famiglia Hoover si mette in viaggio verso un concorso di bellezza per bambine, al quale deve partecipare la piccola Olive. Inizia così la loro piccola odissea, che in questa commedia americana indipendente - trionfo meritato al Sundance Festival - segue con affetto e tagliente ironia i suoi protagonisti aggrappati a sogni che muovono le loro esistenze, dall'infanzia alla vecchiaia, dall'essere genitori all'affermarsi sul lavoro. Divertente, dolceamara, imprevedibile, grottesca e commovente. Perfetto per celebrare oggi la festa dei nonni.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Synopsis On today's date in 2019 a new documentary film entitled Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah examining her powerful works and her career as a Black American artist.Appropriately enough, the musical score for that documentary was crafted by another talented Black American woman, namely Kathryn Bostic, an accomplished composer of film, TV, theatrical, and concert hall scores.Kathryn Bostic is a recipient of many fellowships and awards including several from the Sundance Festival.  Kathryn served the Vice President of the Alliance for Women Film Composers, is a member of the Television Academy of Arts and Sciences, and in 2016 she became the first female African American score composer in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.“My parents loved music and my mother was a classical pianist and teacher,” says Bostic “Listening to the wide range of music while growing up brought me to a phenomenal treasure trove of black composers including William Grant Still, Ulysses Kay, George Walker, Margaret Bonds, Duke Ellington, Quincy Jones, Isaac Hayes … I mean I could go on and on. They are all such extraordinary innovators of rich textures and amazing emotional depth. Definitely big influences for me.” Music Played in Today's Program Kathryn Bostic: Main Title, from "Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am" Lakeshore Records 35495 (original soundtrack album)

In Episode 42, Team Vintage Sand returns yet again to the source of some of our most popular episodes: Danny Peary's hard-to-find 1993 classic "Alternative Oscars". In the past, we have used Peary's model to approach the Best Picture Academy Awards from the 1930's, the 1950's, the 1970's, the 1980's and the 2000's. For this episode, we hop in the Way-Back Machine and travel to one of the most interesting periods in film history: the 1990's. As best described in Peter Biskind's must-read book "Down and Dirty Pictures", that decade began with the promise of an honest-to-goodness revival of independent films emerging from smaller companies, most notably Miramax. It was also marked by the rise of the Sundance Festival, a time long before that event became the completely corporatized show it is now. That period, from roughly 1989-1995, witnessed the arrival of such new voices as Steven Soderbergh, Richard, Linklater, Todd Haynes, Kevin Smith, Carl Franklin, John Dall and most notably Quentin Tarantino. But that fertile era came to a crashing halt with the sale of Miramax to Disney, and the subsequent absorption of most of the smaller production companies into the studio conglomerates. As a result, things turned a bit flabby in the middle of the decade, only to return with a boom in 1999, considered by many film historians to be one of the great years in the history of the medium. Another interesting aspect of the 90's with regards to the Oscars is that unlike in the other decades which we have examined, the Academy made an unusual number of solid choices for Best Picture, such as "The Silence of the Lambs", "Unforgiven" and "Schindler's List". Who could argue with that? (Hint: us.) But there were plenty of head scratchers as well, such as "Dances with Wolves" over "Goodfellas", "The English Patient" over "Fargo" and perhaps most egregiously, "Forrest Gump" over "Pulp Fiction". So kick back, relax and join us as we return to a uniquely fascinating decade, and remember: you're entering a world of pain, Smokey. A world of pain…

Our guest today is a triple threat. Actress, filmmaker, and writer, Zoe Lister-Jones, who made headways in 2017 with her all-female crew directorial debut, Band-Aid. The decision was inspired to foster new creative experiences amidst the staggering inequity on sets.A couple who can't stop fighting embarks on a last-ditch effort to save their marriage: turning their fights into songs and starting a band.  The comedy-drama film, starring Zoe, Jesse Williams, and her New Girl co-star, Hannah Simone premiered at the 2017 Sundance Festival.Some of Zoe's most known acting roles include some of your favorite sitcoms like New Girl, Whitney, or Life In Pieces. I have watched Life in Pieces with my family many times and it remains a favorite. Zoe's love for performing and writing goes back to high school which set the foundation for a scholarship ride in NYU. Even though the film is what she's most known for now, Zoe has a background in music and theater. In 2009 she co-wrote and produced, her first screenplay, Breaking Upwards with Daryl Wein on a $ 15,000 budget. The film explores a young New York couple who, battling codependency, strategizes their own breakup. Operating on a thin budget like that turned the experience into a crash course or a production management Bootcamp in filmmaking for her and Daryl as described during our chat. A couple more production gigs later and she was ready for the director's chair. Last year, Zoe wrote, directed, and produced the sequel to The Craft (1996), a supernatural horror titled, The Craft: Legacy. A group of high school students forms a coven of witches.Wein and Zoe paired up again to bring a Sundance 2021 official selection cinematic experience to our isolated-covid-locked-down screens with what is described as a serene apocalyptic comedy, How It Ends. Liza (Zoe Lister-Jones) embarks on a hilarious journey through LA in hopes of making it to her last party before it all ends, running into an eclectic cast of characters along the way.It was chill and fun chatting about Zoe's indie filmmaking journey and navigating the minefields of live sets. Please enjoy my conversation with Zoe Lister-Jones.

Interview with a filmmaker who won the L'oiel d'or or Golden Eye in Cannes for best documentary film in 2022. We have a different sort of guest for this episode: a filmmaker.  Shaunak Sen's film “All That Breathes” premiered at Sundance Festival, where it won the Grand Jury award and then won the L'Oeil d'Or (Golden Eye) for the best documentary at the 75th Cannes Film Festival.  You should really watch this episode in our Youtube Channel, Bird Podacast or our Instagram channel bird_podcast because we are playing clips from the film.  In this episode, director Shaunak Sen talks about human-animal relationships, and how the brothers are philosophers who wear their insights lightly. Questions: Tell us about the film? What made you decide to do this film? Are you a bird lover?  Speciestic difference is like jail.  What a line.  Do you believe that? How did you capture the birds close up? The kites, vultures, etc. The blackwinged stilt on the soapy river.  How did you get that? How did it feel to be near the injured kites? In interviews, you have talked about how these brothers have a ‘front row' seat of the apocalypse.   Why do the brothers do what they do?  About the film "The documentary talks about two brothers in a lower middle-class Delhi locality, who have made it their life's mission to save kites. These birds, which have been victims of the capital's debilitating air pollution, are rescued by the brothers, Mohammed Saud and Nadeem Shehzad, treated and set free once they are ready to fly again. These two are helped by an employee, Salik Rehman, and all of them have dedicated their lives to this enormously difficult rehabilitation venture. The work is a quiet effort to document in detail the brothers' patience and sacrifice. Carrying on in the face of punishing impediments, including lack of funds, Saud and Shehzad live in hope with a never-say-die attitude. There is an extremely touching scene when one of them goes to a meat shop and asks for a concession in price. It is not easy feeding kites, which are birds of prey. It may sound unbelievable but the brothers have been at it for two decades, struggling to get funds at home and from abroad. We learn as we watch the documentary that they feel taking care of kites and helping them to fly again by themselves are rewards. They love feeding the winged creatures, and the way they caress them establishing an undying bond is marvellously narrated by Sen. He also lets us into some tender moments as when one of the brothers in an autorickshaw takes out a baby squirrel from his shirt pocket, lovingly strokes it and puts it back. Such moments of compassion make the movie a great watch. The cost of this love is unimaginable; although Shehzad and Saud earn a living by manufacturing liquid-soap dispensers, they are much more interested in tending to kites, some 12 hours in a day, and these come at the cost of neglecting their families. In a telling scene, Shehzad and his wife are ruminating over Delhi's worsening air pollution. While she is thinking about their child, he is fixated on kites!"

Katy Brand talks to Michael Berkeley about obsession, opera, brass bands and juggling her career as a comedian, actor, novelist and screenwriter. On television, Katy Brand's Big Ass Comedy Show ran for three series and won her a British Comedy Award, and she has appeared in everything from Peep Show to Midsomer Murders. Her stand-up shows at the Edinburgh Festival have been highly acclaimed, and she is a regular on BBC Radio comedy and drama. Katy has starred in musicals such as West Side Story and Everyone's Talking About Jamie; and she has written plays and screenplays – her feature film Good Luck to You, Leo Grande, starring Emma Thompson, premiered at the recent Sundance Festival and will be on our cinema screens this autumn. Katy tells Michael about her childhood experience as an extra at the Royal Opera House; her grandfather, the trumpet player and brass band conductor Geoffrey Brand; and her passion for the madrigals of the 17th-century Italian composer Carlo Gesualdo. And she describes the obsessions that dominated her early life, which have provided rich material for her books and comedy shows: her conversion to born-again Christianity as a teenager and her ongoing passion for the films Dirty Dancing and Mary Poppins.

CW: Themes/descriptions of violence LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED Adrienne Shelly had everything to live for in October of 2006. Her filmmaking career was taking off, her film ‘Waitress' had a great chance of winning a spot at the Sundance Festival, and she loved being a wife and mother. So when her husband found her hanging from a shower rod on November 1, he knew she hadn't done this to herself, no matter what the detectives said.  As it turned out, he was right.  In episode 25 Candy and Ashley explore the mysterious death of actress and filmmaker Adrienne Shelly, and her husband's quest to not only discover what really happened but to also ensure that Adrienne is remembered as the strong, incredible woman she was, not as a victim.
