		<title>An Investigation of the Irish Cinema Landscape (Through Eating Bar Food)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Does eating a smoked salmon sandwich at the restaurant/bar of the Irish Film Centre count as checking out their cinephile culture? Well, it did for me!

		<title>SURVEILLANCE</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a devoted David Lynch fan who sat through all three hours of INLAND EMPIRE at least 4 times, I was excited to see the trailer for SURVEILLANCE, the latest film by his daughter Jennifer. From the looks of it, it&#8217;ll be a bit too MTV-generation for my taste -what with all its quick cuts [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fiddling while Rome burns? Or the dawn of a new era?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the last 10 weeks, the independent film &#8220;industry&#8221; has been restructured before our eyes.  Let&#8217;s take a look:  
1.  ThinkFilm, in a financial crises having overpaid for films that it can&#8217;t make money on in distribution, sells its catalog to a Canadian investor/speculator.

		<title>BEFORE THE RAIN - On Criterion at last!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;ve been a fan of Milcho Manchevski&#8217;s obscure BEFORE THE RAIN for years - I remember buying a bootlegged DVD copy on Ebay years ago and printing my own sleeve, wishing Criterion would put out a quality version of this almost unheard-of gem (I first watched it in my globalisation class when I was studying [...]]]></description>

		<title>After a week of non-fiction, narrative rears its refreshing head &#8212; from Hot Docs to IFF Boston</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a 5-day smorgasbord of nonfiction action &#8212; from features about carnival workers to shorts about a man&#8217;s relationship with his pet sheep &#8212; I have arrived in Beantown on a mission for fiction.

		<title>IFF Boston: Dreams at Sea</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The third and fourth installments of a block of powerhouse short films at the 6th annual Independent Film Festival of Boston really took me by storm. Benh Zeitlin&#8217;s GLORY AT SEA, shot over the course of a year in New Orleans, accomplishes in its short lifespan what many docs, news reports and stories on Katrina [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brainwash Film Festival? A guerilla drive-in.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The first and last time I was at a drive-in was back in 1992 in San Diego, California. I went to see Terminator 2 (sorry, no promo link) in 3-D. I have a vague recollection that there were some fine points to this movie&#8230;.a teenage Eddie Furlong in Public Enemy t-shirt and army jacket comes [...]]]></description>
