A tribute to a filmmaker with one of the most compelling visions for North American cinema

From surgical quietude and nocturnal nightmares to feral mermaid sisters and antiporno sadism

From shaggy dog stories & sociopolitical awakenings to blockbuster surrealism & soul-baring absurdism

From foul-mouthed clowns & cow-punchers to hereditary psychosis & Sisyphean metaphors

This year’s shitshow can’t be completely undone, but we are not beyond repair.

Pick a song, close your eyes, and turn it up

The ambient noise of the present

Dredging new instruments out of bad technology

Absence atomized and the deteriorative sounds of re-membering critical care

Sowing future-primitive dreams in earthy pinks and smeared brushstrokes

Streaming platforms and creative labor in the gig economy

14 paths to artistic immortality

“It’s hard to answer your question because we haven’t figured it out.”

“I’ve been in love with cinema forever, and I just try and score everyday life”
