We love and treasure all types of cinema: mainstream and experimental; silent and sound; color and monochrome; short and feature-length; Hollywood, independent, and foreign; highbrow, middlebrow, lowbrow, even nobrow -- every genre and every decade. But our love also sometimes takes the form of criticism. In general, we enjoy talking about how people relate to cinema; the choices made by filmmakers; the historic, cultural, and personal factors underlying those choices; and the artistic and moral consequences of those choices.
Here's a little information about us:
Niko is a musician and film buff originally from California. He graduated from NYU and currently resides in Austin, TX.
Bereket is a filmmaker with degrees from Stanford and the University of Texas at Austin, currently residing in the greater New York area. His dream project is a biography of Emperor Haile Selassie.
Yogesh is a graduate student in psychology at NYU, originally from Springfield, IL. He holds degrees from Stanford and the USC School of Cinematic Arts and also completed post-graduate work at the UC-Berkeley Haas School of Business, where he was a devoted denizen of the Pacific Film Archive theater. You can find his personal blog here.
