Yes I have a DVD dubb of that Farrokhzad Cinema disc... It's excellent... FIRE is fascinating - I think she worked as editor on this, and obviously THE HOUSE IS BLACK where she she was director and virtually everything...

It's an huge issue among liberal Iranians, how she met her death...

Kiarostami pays tribute in THE WIND WILL CARRY US, a line from a Farrokhzad poem....

The rumors about the death of Cinéma may have been exaggerated, as Leo Scheer have put up some information about issue 013 on their website. To be released on May 18.

Maddeningly, they haven't listed the contents of the DVD, but I've squinted very very hard at the cover image and I think it says it will include Huillet and Straub's Lothringen! and Harun Farocki's Straub and Huillet at Work.

Did anyone pick up issue 12 with the two King Vidor films? Any comments?

Yes good to see Bernard Eisenschitz managed to convince Léo Scheer to continue to publish Cinéma.

On Vidor, I really liked "Metaphor. King Vidor Meets With Andrew Wyeth (1980)", but not so much the other one.

The April issue of Cahiers du Cinéma reports that due to lack of funding Cinéma 014 is to be the final issue.

Yes it sucks as it was a beautiful publication. On a similarly worrying note, LE Monde is putting up Cahiers du Cinema and its related businesses (mostly book publishing) for sale.
