Earlier this month I formed a coalition of sorts with a couple of other blogs. Our intention is outlined by the following manifesto -
The Cineastes are a not-quite-so elite international coalition of the cinematically inclined whom convene once a month.
Together they hope to assist in the spread of film enthusiasm like a disease, debilitating the already infected and attacking the healthy with relentless vigor.
Possessing of what Ernest Hemingway referred to as ‘aficion’, The Cineastes are concerned with the general analysis of features both new & old, studio-made & independent, local & foreign, as well as comprehensive film criticism instigating and encouraging discussion on the roots of cinema history.
Effectively what this means for hopelies.com is that I will be taking part in a monthly communal screening and analysis of a particular film, with each of the writers taking turns to select a film. The first film on the list is Kenji Mizoguchi's Ugetsu Monogatari (1953), as selected by Mathias over at Framed. My compadre's within this endeavour are listed below.
