No film which only translates into film what is known already (from the newspaper, a book, TV) is worth anything. A film has to find an expression in its own language.

Gil Scott Heron - Washington D.C.

Guess who just got an invitation to run a workshop at the Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington DC next summer? Well done my brainy boy! And there will be weeks in New York, oh yes, we’re already planning.

Now, this piece of news just goes on top of our plan to apply for fellowships at the New York Public Library and at the John Carter Brown Library (Providence, Rhode Island), which means that we may be spending an awful lot of research time in the US of A between 2011 and 2012. Cue: joy.

Oh and we may have to miss living in London during the Olympics: priceless.

For those who think that figure skating is for sissies, here goes an Olympic story worthy of an episode of The Sopranos:
“US skaters Nancy Kerrigan  (left) and Tonya Harding (right) were rivals in the run-up to the 1994  Winter Olympics when Harding’s partner, Jeff Gillooly,  hired an  accomplice to smash Kerrigan’s knee-cap with a retractable baton.  Kerrigan’s cries were caught on tape, evoking such sympathy that she was  eventually named in the Olympic squad despite her injury preventing her  from qualifying. Kerrigan won silver at the Olympics – but the happy  ending was spoiled when, prior to the medal ceremony, she was again  caught on tape, this time whinging at the amount of time it was taking  the gold medallist to do her make-up.” [Photograph: Gary Hershorn/Reuters; Story: guardian.co.uk]
