Mind Game Matthew Forsythe is blogging from the Waterloo Festival for Animated Cinema (through Sunday) for fps. The most recent entry's on Mind Game which, for Filmbrain, calls up memories of Heavy Metal.

For Movie City News, Pablo Villaça grades 30 of the 61 films he's caught at the São Paulo International Film Festival.

At Twitch, El Duderino offers a string of capsules on the films he caught at the Torino Film Festival. Dave Kehr'll tell you who scored prizes.

Brian: "Whatever dam was holding them back, the centennial of [Mikio] Naruse's birth is opening the gates to allow prints of his films to flow into the view of Frisco cinephiles, now at a trickle and soon a healthy stream."

At indieWIRE:

The Reeler's looking forward to the "Epic Film Blog Orgy" at SoHo's Apple Store on December 16. (FWIW, indieWIRE very kindly asked, but I'll not be able to make it to NYC next month. Nonetheless, I look forward to reading all about it and maybe even seeing snapshot or two. Naughty ones, please!)
