Dune 2

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

ELM – Woven Into Light – CD-R 0

Elm – Rising Smoke Worlds
mp3

Just out via Blackest Rainbow in an edition of 250. I’m sure this will be gone as soon as word gets out, so grab one quick. Jon Porras (half of Barn Owl) really hits it with a thick set of guitar nocturnes that bridge into heavy lost delay / low end distortion crawls. Creepy as fuck soundtrack to your ayahuasca trance come down.

Chantal Akerman Film Series @ SFMOMA – January 03 – February 28 1

“Chantal Akerman crosses between the worlds of art and cinema, making video installations for galleries as well as films for theatrical release. Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai de Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, her breakthrough work, observes a woman’s domestic routines, slowly, patiently, and ultimately disturbingly. It exemplifies Akerman’s ability to create intense psychological studies of everyday life. She is also highly attuned to the human experience of time, memory, and journeying, whether in relation to migration and political borders (News from Home, Histoiresd’Amérique) or coming of age (Saute ma ville; Je, tu, il, elle). This series explores Akerman’s work in depth, from her earliest films to the recent Là-bas, an extraordinary meditation on Israel that centers on the filmmaker herself, trapped in a temporary apartment in Tel Aviv.

$5 general; free for SFMOMA members or with museum admission (requires a free ticket, which can be picked up in the Haas Atrium). Double features: films offered on the same date are included in one ticket. Tickets are available at the museum (with no surcharge) or online.”

Full schedule is here.
