Christian Marclay in San Francisco

Jonah Samson of Cool Hunting writes: On a sunny afternoon in San Francisco, sitting in a dark room watching Christian Marclay's masterpiece, "The Clock," provokes a certain anxiety about the passage of time, yet at the same time leaves you unable to pull yourself away from watching what will happen next. While what follows is slightly obvious—the 24-hour-long video shows the time in an actual real-time format by stringing together thousands of movie clips displaying the hour and minute on a clock—the predictable chronology is presented in the most clever, deft, humorous and riveting way possible.

Sarah Polley on Documenting Family Secrets

Rachel Dodes of Speakeasy writes: Canadian actress-turned-director Sarah Polley is known for creating female characters with a wandering eye. In her Oscar nominated 2006 film “Away From Her,” there’s an Alzheimer’s stricken married woman (Julie Christie) who moves into a nursing home and develops a relationship with another man, to her husband’s chagrin. In last year’s “Take This Waltz,” a young writer (Michelle Williams) cheats on her cookbook-author spouse (Seth Rogen) with a sexy rickshaw operator who lives down the block.

Bill Clinton Touts Potential of Crowdfunding at Creativity Conference

Ted Johnson of Variety writes: Speaking at an MPAA, Microsoft and Time event called the Creativity Conference Friday, former President Bill Clinton talked up crowdfunding as a potentially important avenue for filmmakers and others to “make more messages that we want to go viral.” Clinton, delivering the keynote address, singled out the documentary “Bridegroom,” which he introduced at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York earlier this week. The project, directed by Clinton’s longtime friend Linda Bloodworth Thomason, tells the story of two gay men from conservative families and the hurdles they face. When one of the men dies in a tragic fall from the rooftop, his partner is denied access to the memorial, not having marital privileges. Money was raised online for a documentary after the man appeared in a YouTube video describing the pain of what had happened.
