Sunday, 1:30 pm in the Comedy Nest

In preparation for our Sunday @ 1:30 p.m. discussion on Che, go to our website, my-pov.ca and you'll discover a cornucopia of preparatory treats for Sunday afternoon at the Comedy Nest:

• On our landing page is a 4:46 min. interview with Steven Soderbergh, discussing the Red One (the famous camera). Then after the invue, you'll find a variety of clips (14 in all) from YouTube, all about The Red. Most of these are very technical, so you can skip over them but some might be of interest to you:
• a psa (public service announcement, using The Red;
• : 18 of a screen test - note the light contrast
• : 53 sec of another test
• a :53 sec extract from Peter Jackson's short, Crossing the Line, the first time The Red was used;
• : 51 sec of skiing camera tests
• :30 commercial for the camera
• 6:58 documentary on how to mount different lenses

Then if you click on the COMING UP tab, you'll find:

• clips from a Soderbergh encounter at last fall's New York Film Festival. It's the kind of access only the Internet can provide, a rare chunk of a filmmaker talking aloud about his movie. You will see the many problems he's having, figuring out how to market the movie; the differences in format between the two parts;. how he got it financed; how he thinks that the roadshow will not work.
• 4:19 - Benicio del Toro winning at the Cannes Film Festival
• trailers in Spanish and English;
• an invue with del Toro from Toronto.

Later this afternoon, I will post bios of our special guests, and their CVs.

So organize your Sunday afternoon, 1:30 p.m. at the Comedy Nest. Bring a guest (admission for guests is only $10 for the afternoon session).
