The Jamaican bobsled team has come back to the Winter Olympics after a 12-year absence, and they made sure their return made a splash with their very own theme song, “The Bobsled Song.”
The song is set to be timed perfectly to the Sochi bobsled course.
Jamaican Bobsled Team Qualifies For First Time Since 2002
This is the first time the Jamaican bobsled team has qualified for the Olympics since 2002, though their first appearance at the Calgary Games in 1988 inspired so much fanfare, Disney made a film about it. While the Jamaican bobsled team has collected a huge fanbase, in no small part due to the Disney classic Cool Runnings (1993), their chances at gold seem awfully slim. After the first two heats, the two-man bobsled team was at the bottom of the pack, ranking number 30 out of 30. With half the competition over, they were 4.41 seconds behind first place, Russia, who went...

Updated through 4/30.
The San Francisco International Film Festival (Sfiff), the longest one running in the Americas, opens tonight with Mike Mills's Beginners and closes on May 5 with Mathieu Amalric's On Tour. Among the 150 films screening in between, give or take, will be the centerpiece, Azazel Jacobs's Terri.
"In terms of artistic achievement, it's safe to say no producer has contributed to independent American cinema over the last two decades like Christine Vachon," writes Dennis Harvey, introducing his interview. Vachon will be delivering the State of Cinema address on Sunday evening (it's a busy time for her; she's also on Tribeca's Documentary and Student Short Film Competitions jury). Also at SF360, Michael Fox has cinema studies professor Bill Nichols give him a preview of the discussion he'll be leading on the Social Justice Documentary and talks with Bay Area filmmakers who have work in the lineup.

Nicole Brenez has curated two programs of new work from the French avant-garde for this year’s Rendezvous with French Cinema 2011 in New York; below she has offered her program notes in French. Program one (on Saturday) concentrates on filmmakers reappropriating images; program two (Sunday) is the new feature by Ange Leccia, Nuit bleue. Below, I’ve translated Brenez’s extended appreciation of Leccia and Nuit bleue; as usual, I’ve tried to stay faithful to the sound and rhythm of the original where possible. Beneath the translated extract you'll find the full article by Ms. Brenez in its original French. —David Phelps

…Although Ange Leccia has also practiced re-appropriating images (especially Jean Luc-Godard’s) in his installations and his films, Nuit bleuetakes up a different aesthetic vein, one rich with a long tradition of the French avant-garde.

"Tscherkassky sculpts with time and space, rhythms and arrhythmia in a way that feels like an entirely new film space, a new language altogether," wrote Rhys Graham in Senses of Cinema back in 2001 and the declaration stands ten years on, well into our current era of digital filmmaking. With Films by Peter Tscherkassky, we're proud to team up with Index to present a selection of early and later work by one of the most important figures in the Austrian avant-garde (see, for example, Alexander Horwath's essay from SoC 28), both as a practitioner and theorist. Even as he was writing his doctoral thesis in the mid-80s ("Film as Art. Towards a Critical Aesthetics of Cinematography"), Tscherkassky created Miniatures (1983), Motion Picture (1984) and Manufraktur (1985) and would eventually co-found the distribution collective Sixpack Film, lecture and program for a variety of festivals. That's just scratching the surface; be sure to explore his site.

I won't call the Cat Squad a poor man's Charlie's Angels. (Except it is.) And I won't even mention how predictable the mole was. (Except I just did.) Sigh. Let's just appreciate this episode for what it was and get on with this recap, shall we?
Team Work Makes the Dream Work
The Clandestine Attack Team, aka the Cat Squad, established in 2003, consisted of cold-hearted Carina, Zondra the bitch!, Amy the party girl, and (the unseen narrator's pride and joy) Sarah.
