last week, i had the opportunity to catch one of cinemas' greatest films ever - two or three things i know about her. with our society revisiting our consumerist tendencies, this 40 year old film reminds us that the problems we face are not new, but as old as our desire for modernity. hopefully this beautifully restored 35 mm print will soon be released on dvd. until then and only for the next two weeks, you can catch it at the film forum - btw, i'll be seeing it again this thursday!!!

also on thursday, you can check out a trailer premiere and benefit party for mehret - a documentary film about a young harvard educated doctor and her fight against HIV. if i didn't have plans, i'd definitely hit up this open-bar and ethiopian cuisine by queen of sheba! on a side note, it's sad to see that the event is sponsored by brooklyn brewery, a sponsor of the atlantic yards project - for more information check out develop don't destroy brooklyn, nolandgrab.org and the atlantic yards report.
