The end of Google Reader. Montage Film Reviews Forum. The D-Word: the worldwide community of documentary professionals. Index page. John Wyver's Blog. Below you’ll find all sorts of good things that I’ve been reading and watching (or at least meaning to) over the past fortnight or so… In contrast to previous weekend collections, I’ve mixed up articles and videos – a practice that I think I’ll continue on coming weekends – but I have tried to assemble everything into some kind of narrative. That said, do feel free simply to dive in anywhere. PS. After my slightly self-pitying post yesterday, my aim is to return to a daily post – with another The Year in TV contribution tomorrow, this time about 1962, and then on Tuesday a kind of back-to-work piece about Illuminations’ plans for the coming months.
(If I announce these posts here, that will act as a kind of prompt for me to complete them.) • Live from the Moon – Film, Television and the Space Race: for the BUFVC’s Viewfinder Kate O’Riordan reviews Michael Allen’s new book about the role of television in the space race. • The chill of disillusion: T. Adam Curtis Blog. Wild Camping for Motorhomes.
