The Forgotten: History's Greatest Monster

There have been very many takes on Bram Stoker's Victorian shocker Dracula , but most of them have quite a bit in common, either adapting, closely or loosely, the book's text, or suggesting a sequel that takes the original as read. Jonathan , the debut film of writer-director Hans W. Geißendörfer in West Germany in 1970, does something else. The Jonathan of the title would appear to be J. Harker, though he's never explicitly named as such, and he's a German villager rather than a London estate agent. Rather than visiting a sinister count on business, he's sent off to be a vampire-hunting secret agent. As bloodsuckers ravage the countryside, his daring mission is to infiltrate the castle of the fiends' leader, free the prisoners, open the doors for an attacking peasant army, and help drive the undead horde into the sea. Which, in a rather flat and disappointing manner, is exactly what happens. Actually, the staging of the climax is great—the problem is merel...

New York Indie Producer Graham Swon Discusses His Directorial Debut

In the past decade, a series of directors have come out of the New York repertory film scene, people who’ve watched countless amounts of movies and have distilled that labor of pure love for cinema into films made within that context. Filmmakers like Ted Fendt, Gina Telaroli, and Ricky D’Ambrose jump to mind immediately in that context, as well as the resurgence of Dan Sallit, who since his 2012 feature The Unspeakable Act has managed to get more festival and theater distribution than ever before; or the case of Argentinian filmmaker Matías Piñeiro, who moved to New York to teach but also became a usual presence in the city at repertory cinemas. One thing all of these filmmakers have in common is a name that repeats in most of their recent work: Graham Swon as producer. Graham Swon is also part of that intense type of cinephile filmmakers that was birthed out of the New York repertoire theaters. Graham studied theater directing at Carnegie Mellon and decided to move onto film. His w...

The Future is ‘Makeable’ – Exploring Possibilities at Amman Design Week 2019

The beauty of keeping a theme as simply worded as “Possibilities” is that its interpretations end up being incredibly diverse as everyone associates the word ‘possibilities’ with something new. Some designers consider material possibilities, others look at possibilities for sustainability and the future, while some even tend to look at fixing problems of the past. Everyone has a different story to tell, and all these stories combine in the melting pot that is the Amman Design Week 2019 . At Amman Design Week this year, we look at how Possibilities can shape our ‘makeable’ future. The Amman Design Week has evolved from being a simple event to a movement to help design uplift life, and make life and culture enrich design in the kingdom of Jordan. The movement now spans more than just the design week, which gets held once every two years. During other times of the year, the design week aims at supporting and rehabilitating local creative organizations, reviving crafts, providing educati...
