In the last
Filmmaker I wrote about New Order's recent video compilation and the various "artist-directed" videos that producer and filmmaker Michael Shamberg commissioned for the band over the years. In the piece, Shamberg announced that a website would be up detailing the project, but, due to health issues -- Shamberg took ill in London this summer and was hospitalized for three months -- the site was delayed.
Now, Shamberg has emailed to say that he's better and that
Kinoteca is online. Over the next few months he will be gradually putting up info on all the New Order video productions. But first up is a treat:
Les Amants de Ponts-Neuf director
Leos Carax's sly and unexpectedly charming no-budget riff on the pop promo, a clip that plays like an auteurist take on
America's Funniest Home Videos. The link above takes you to the Quicktime 6 version. The site also promises a downloadable clip for video iPods.

Unrelated,IFC Picks up Sex Addict
Hey Scott,
Didn't have yer e-mail, so I am leaving u a message here. Of course u probably know about this already:
IFC has picked up Zahedi's Sex Addict, a flick that you have been championing on this blog.
From today's IndieWIRE:
Very excited about this new development. Looks like Caveh has gotten the distro deal he always wanted.
(i am thinking our championing of the film could have helped, at least a little :)
From IndieWIRE:
"IFC Entertainment president Jonathan Sehring announced a pair of pacts as Sundance begins. Caveh Zahedi's "I Am A Sex Addict" is described as a look at "the life of an insecure young man who becomes addicted to prostitutes, and finds himself unable to stop even though it destroys all of his relationships. He decides to make a movie about his predicament..." The movie debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival last year and won a special Gotham Award for an undistributed movie."
Later.
