Sorry Oscars. But after the Indie Spirit Awards, the number two spot in terms of Award Season importance are the Cinema Eye Honors. Seems like it was only yesterday when Aj Schnack & Thom Powers teamed up for one basic, logical concept: an event that would reward yearly output of documentary film in a rightfully sound manner. With the wind in their sails, the 6th annual edition was held last night and deservingly so, adding to its double wins at the Idfa and Sundance, it is 5 Broken Cameras that took the top honors for Outstanding Achievement in Nonfiction Feature Filmmaking. Co-directed by Emad Burnat and Guy Davidi – political activism via you guessed it, five video cameras. The film was released via Kino Lorber.

The second issue of Adrian Martin and Girish Shambu's film journal Lola has arrived—or has begun to, rather—with a new staggered distribution of content. Shambu dishes some exposition on the changes and details the content at his blog, which include contributions from Nicole Brenez and Chantal Akerman. From horror to hockey? In one of the stranger director + project announcements of late, the underrated Rob Zombie is going to be making Broad Street Bullies, a sports movie about the notoriously tough 1970s Philadelphia Flyers. A hometown plug from me for the Pacific Cinémathèque here in Vancouver, which is currently raising money by selling limited edition postcards featuring designs from the great Steve Chow, who was featured in Adrian Curry's Movie Poster of the Week column last fall. Donate $10 and you'll receive 6 of Chow's program guide designs. Along with the gorgeous posters detailed in Curry's article, Chow is also...

Wg Sebald's sprawling novel The Rings of Saturn has inspired a movie. The composer of its soundtrack tells Ben Beaumont-Thomas why only mashed-up Schubert would do
"The book is very ghost-like," says Leyland James Kirby. "So the music is ghost-like too. It can be easily ignored." This seems a strange thing for a composer to say of his music, but then Kirby is talking about the soundtrack he has written for a film inspired by a very strange book: Wg Sebald's The Rings of Saturn, a sprawling work based around a walk Sebald took along the East Anglian coast and the thoughts it provoked in him. Taking in everything from the Holocaust to outer space, from Chinese trains to crappy hotels, the 1995 novel so struck film-maker Grant Gee that he retraced the writer's footsteps, talking to people along the way, and turned the results into a film called Patience (After...

James Kirby, the mash-up mastermind behind V/Vm, was notorious for mutilating pop music in his sonic abattoir. Now, he has recorded one of the finest ambient projects in recent yearsI never had James Kirby down as a genius, exactly. As the architect of music project V/Vm and Stockport-based label V/Vm Test, Kirby came across more as a delighted troublemaker, driven by some deep-seated desire to piss people off. This culminated most gruesomely in the Harold Shipman CD, earning V/Vm Test the title of "sickest label in the world". V/Vm and its associated label were entranced and repelled by pop in...
