JEWELRY FOR "GOAT" MOVIE CREATORS AND ACTORS
You may have already heard about and seen the movie "Goat" staring Nick Jonas and Ben Schnetzer premiered to strong reviews at Sundance Film festival, but if you did not, you will, very soon. Directed by Andrew Neel and co-produced by James Franco this fraternity hazing drama is also set to have first European showing at Berlinale the Berlin Film Festival on Febrary 12, 2016. In the event you are in Berlin, you do not have to wait until it starts showing in U.S. movie theaters.
"[the] film...explores the roots of violence in white American males – men who will later become politicians, will mistreat prisoners or start families. Seen through the sensitive eyes of the protagonists, the film raises questions about loyalty and male self-image and pillories a frightening reality of life on American campuses which, in the name of tradition, systematically destroys young men – or turns them into monsters." - Variety

NYC celebrates Michel Auder this Weekend
This weekend NYC is celebrating the work of
Michel Auder, one of Jelena’s closest friends.
Anthology Film Archives, the Lower East Side stronghold fortress of the avantgarde, is offering a two-part program retrospective of Auder’s films from 1969 to 2014. A compulsive documentarian of himself and those around him (quite a notable group: Warhol, the Zanzibar group, his ex-wives Viva and Cindy Sherman, Alice Neel, and last but not least Jelena herself, and many others), Auder dandifies the everyday, paradoxically blending defensive narcissism and emotional depth.
And on Saturday,
Participant Inc will be hosting a launch of a new monograph on Auder: "Stories, myths, ironies, and other songs: conceived, directed, edited and produced by M. Auder."
Read more about
The Feature, Auder’s autobiographical opus, featuring Jelena, Zlato, and the
Studio.
Don't forget to ask Jelena to show you her collection of Michel's works gathered over the long years of their friendship the next time you come by the Studio.
