Sita Sings the Blues is a film that went through a lot, before it finally saw a way to reach an audience. The film has made quite a buzz when it first started appearing in various festivals quite some time ago. Unfortunately, out of nowhere, legal troubles concerning the film’s soundtrack emerged and stopped it from obtaining proper distribution.
The film itself is quite unique. Sita is an animated feature that re-tells a well-known Hindi fable, the Ramayana. The twist? The film’s narrative is accompanied by the 1920’s jazzy vocal stylings of Annette Hanshaw. Jazz and a Hindi folklore story make an interesting and fresh combination. The film’s soundtrack, what made Sita so different and gave the film a lot of buzz, is also what delayed it from being seen by an excited audience.
Filmmaker, Nina Paley, was shocked to find that Annette Hanshaw’s recordings which were supposedly became part of the public domain, was protected by copyright. The last time I heard about the movie, Paley was attempting to gather funds to pay for royalty so she could properly distribute her passion project.
Recently, I checked back on the status of the film and I was pleasantly surprised. Paley has decided to distribute the film for free! Any form of payment that she might receive because of the film, are counted as donation. She also sells pretty merchandise for the film too!
The lovely Miss Paola Ambrosi de Magistris over at 5Preview was looking très chic in this month’s 101 IDEAS’s section of Marie Claire (which featured some quick quotes and sweet pics of the photographer). If her name sounds familiar it might be because IN*TANDEM featured her gorgeous portraits of 5Preview’s creator Emeli Martensson in the Spring 70s’ REDUX ISSUE. Click HERE to Read it All Over Again!.
We love Paola’s images (which range from lusty to ethereal) and she looks mighty fierce in that 5Preview Chanel T! Work It!
If you’re like me, you enjoy a fine “Two Buck Chuck” wine from Trader Joe’s with your dinner, especially when company’s over, right? With one of the world’s most powerful earthquakes in a century battering famed wine making country Chile> on February 27, one question has prevades as country rebuilds itself:
Can Chile’s famous wine industry rebuild after quake?
Alfredo S. Bartholomaus says, “YES!”
And he should know. Born and raised in Chile, Bartholomaus is a successful pioneer of wines, who in 2001 and 2005 was selected as one of The Wine Advocates “Wine Personalities of the Year.” As a young man, Alfredo hitchhiked to the United States in pursuit of his dream to bring the wines of Chile to the United States. Today, Bartholomaus works with Winebow whose portfolio includes wines from Chile, Argentina, Germany, Alsace, New Zealand and California. In addition, they now serve as not only importers, but also marketers and producers.
According to Bartholomaus, the quake will not affect the taste of the product and most wineries will be able to ship their wines within the next few weeks.
Bartholomaus: “The Valley of Aconcagua, Casablanca, San Antonio and Maipo Valley had minor damages,” but adds that “the ones most affected are Cachapoal, Colchagua, Curico and Maule Valleys which lost about $250 million in wines–about 12 % of the National inventories.”
On October 11, the IN*TANDEM team made its way to Holy Ghost!’s home studio for a quick photoshoot and interview session for our ’70s Redux. Though tired from rehearsals from the previous night, Alex Frankel and Nicholas Millhiser were still in high spirits that day. IN*TANDEM’s Fashion Editor, Rebecca Teal, along with photo assistants Tim Romero and Alex Royle were quite excited to shoot the band.
“You look like a better looking shia LaBeouf,” commented Ms. Teal about Frankel. “You look like you could be his cousin or something.” she continued. It’s true! Frankel does remind me of Shia. Millhiser added that Frankel had been mistaken for other people like David Schwimmer and John Turturro. We loved hanging out with the band! You can catch them tonight at Webster Hall along with Neon Indian. ($1 Before Midnight with RSVP - Click Here).
Ok, so the title may be kind of hoakey. But this is a really good documentary, giving us a look at the culture behind the music. What it was, what it has become, and why Hip Hop has gotten to the state that we know it know.
Yes. That’s right. The music punk rock babies fall asleep to at night. From 1977 to 2009 these bands have epitomized the yelling, screaming, death to disco noise only a monster could love. And the best part? You get to listen to it - as loud as you want. CLICK THE LINKS TO ROCK YOUR SOCKS OFF!!!
