Crime! Film 6: Le crime de Monsieur Lange [The Crime of Mr. Lange] (France, Jean Renoir, 1936). An early Renoir allegory of fighting injustice by any means, at the dawn of WWII. Mr. Lange is a day-dreaming writer of pulp Western fiction; when his unscrupulous boss absconds with their earnings he rallies his colleagues to continue their popular publishing venture. But the boss returns, and Mr. Lange is faced with a dire choice. Screenplay by poet Jacques Prévert. (In French with English subtitles)

Crime! Film 5: Los olvidados [The Young and the Damned] (Mexico, Luis Buñuel, 1950). Director Luis Buñuel takes an uncompromising look at the lives of slum children on the streets of Mexico City, by following the story of a young gang leader seeking revenge on the man who sent him to prison. The moral failings of society come to the fore, through the young criminals who are victims of circumstances far beyond their control. (In Spanish with English subtitles)

Crime! Film 4: Le Samouraï [The Samurai] (France, Jean-Pierre Melville,1967). After he is seen by witnesses, a lone contract killer has to find a series of alibis, a task that is made harder by the fact that he is next on his own boss’s hit list. A stylised masterpiece of cool that combines 1940s gangster cinema with 1960s pop culture, held together with a samurai’s instinct. (In French with English subtitles).

As a medium, film has often been likened to death – it is a moment frozen in time as the great French film theorist André Bazin put it – it is time mummified. Vulture Aesthetics, relates both to my own work as a filmmaker and teacher, but also the work developed through the Independent Imaging Retreat (aka Film Farm), a hand processing film workshop in Southern Ontario, nearly 25 years in the works.
