Friday, January 9th, 2009

If you are visiting Philly this weekend, you may want to consider visiting the Philly Museum of Art. It is the last weekend you can catch the Live Cinema/Anita Sieff Films.

“The subject of investigation of Italian filmmaker Anita Sieff is human communication as a means of both social inquiry and visual representation. In her films, fragmented and at times abstract dialogues between diverse characters become the focus of attention as women and men question their relationship with each other in precisely allusive urban contexts. Interpersonal relations become the battling ground where identities are constructed, beliefs debated, and emotions examined.” {more}

Whatever you decide to do, please weekend responsibly.
