christopher nolan's following.

To celebrate it's fifteenth anniversary, indie film festival Slamdance is planning a year-long series of special events. The first of these events is a special screening of Director Du Jour Christopher Nolan's debut feature film, Following. For those who don't know Nolan by name, you surely have seen his work, whether it be the neo-noir instaclassic, Memento, or his latest, The Dark Knight.

The screening is scheduled for 8PM on Friday, September 5th at LACMA's Bing Theater. A Q&A session with Nolan will immediately follow the screening along with a hosted reception. Tickets can only be purchased online here, going for $20 each.

LA Flash.

It seems that every week, a new website documenting street style pops up. It's a trend that seems to have run its course, and one the feels oddly contemporary and exclusive to our age of digital cameras, party photographers, and excessive hype. Proving once again that everything has been done before and everything is indeed cyclical, LACMA is correcting our misconceived ownership of the phenomenon with their upcoming LA Flash exhibition, wherein they show photos taken in 1973 which documented Los Angeles' street style of the time.

To commemorate the opening of the exhibition, LACMA is inviting its visitors a chance to participate in the re-up of their documentation. Visitors of their Late Night Art program on September 6th will be photographed, with the photos being subsequently archived for future use and uploaded on the web for instant consumption. Expect your Facebook newsfeed to be a mile long the morning after. $10 gets you in the door, head on over to the LA Flash page for more info and advance tickets.
