BOMB's 100.

With its 100th issue, BOMB Magazine launches a beta version of its new site. Not everything from this issue is available online, of course. You can read Fionn Meade's introduction to an interview with Béla Tarr, for example, but not the interview itself. Same goes for Matthea Harvey's conversation with Kara Walker.

But David Salle and Sarah French's talk with Kate Valk is all there: "We sat down with Valk shortly after the Wooster Group's production of Hamlet at St Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn. Staged with the Wooster's familiar yet still confounding juxtaposition of film and video with live action, Hamlet takes as its template the film of Richard Burton's legendary 1964 modern dress, Broadway production. The Group re-edited the film - fast forwarding through and obscuring parts - and channeled its performances, acting alongside and in front of its projections."

BOMB's hitting the big One-Oh-Oh is a fine reminder, too, that there's a lot to discover or rediscover in the archives, directly film-related or not.
