The Jungle

In 1967, a group of African-American teenagers in Philadelphia made a hybrid documentary/dramatization of their lives in the 12th and Oxford Street gang. In 1968, The Jungle, one of the first films in the US directed by youth detailing the inner workings of their own gang, went on to win the Documentary Film Award at the Festival de Popoli, Italy. (1967, 22 min)

When Hainan Meets Teochew

this looks interesting. It was directed by Han Yew Kwang from Singapore. Not only does one of the main characters identify as Teochew, but the main love story is between two transgender individuals. it opened on Dec 3 but is only being shown in Singapore. must find a way to watch it!

具が多い！！

I really want a projector! not for this, although I probably would do this as well. currently I have a bunch of things going on with school. it is exactly one week until I am mostly free from schoolwork. after that, I do have one final exam then it is smoooth sailing into winter break.. it is dangerous territory to think about what I want to do once I get free time because then I won't want to do any work. but let's just say netflix is coming back and so is knitting! on a side note kinda, I have sort of been watching a jdrama called manhattan love story, my first drama. more on that later, but all you need to know is that there are fake moustaches, love triangles and other geometric shapes, a bit of engrish, tons of coffee metaphors and it is terrific. it is more a parody of a drama than a drama itself. you can watch it here.
