Gilles Deleuze on Cinema - What is the Creative Act? (1987)
This 45 minute talk at a conference in 1987 on the “act of creation” in cinema is perhaps the most intimate capture of Gilles Deleuze on film besides the Abécédaire interview. Gilles Deleuze speaks continuously and fluidly in a raspy but gentle and sincere voice that betrays much reverence for the work of figures such as Bresson and Kurosawa, particularly as concerns what Deleuze claims to be an absolute need of theirs to adapt the works of Shakespeare and Dostoevsky for film. Other figures discussed include Syberberg, Straub and Duras, along with a discussion of Foucault and disciplinary societies. Deleuze concludes with a meditation on what he calls the “mysterious connection between the work of art and the act of resistance.”

Danny Boyle also on some real shit. (And this one is much shorter than the Soderbergh video.)
Soderbergh talking about cinema. This is good.

MIDNIGHT MARAUDER BEST OF 2012 ROUND UP (B-SIDES, UNRELEASED DESIGNS)
It’s been one hell of a year that’s wrapping up, and a New one that’s about to get started. 2012 has been filled with professional highs and personal lows, plenty of Great Films to marvel at, to get inspiration from. I have made some wonderful friendships as a result of my work. My work on the Prometheus film has brought me some wonderful fans and press. 2013 will be the break out year for MM.
I wanted to share with you all a Medley of my work to finish the Year with.
Thank you to the following people for their undying support, without you I couldn’t have pushed myself to design such a massive amount of posters and criterion covers.

good news: mondo vision, which has slowly been releasing definitive edition dvds of zulawski’s films, has announced, after an over two year absence since the release of szamanka (1996), that possession (1981) will officially be their next release. also, the silver globe (1977) and the blue note (1992) are “in production.”
Holy shit, this is one of my favourite films ever. This is awesome news.
