Title: Rogue Film School - Article in Sight and Sound
Post by: JBillington on July 11, 2010, 03:49:18 PM

There is an article in this month's Sight And Sound about someone going to Werner Herzog's Rogue Film School. It's pretty funny, I would scan it if I could, but I can't. I'll see if I can use a scanner at work.

Choice highlight - the attendees were collected from a hotel by a school bus, all communication and and recording devices were confiscated, and when they got to the secret location, they had to do the 'bucket-on-head' walk from 'Encounters At The End Of The World' to find the venue

I gotta say that even though I am not a AP Mike/Sarah-styled anti-cell phone person, I am completely into the confiscation of all electronic devices. I would love it if certain clubs/bands/acts would do awesome things and prohibit audience members from filming/tweeting/documenting it.

The tide is gonna turn with stuff like that and I can't wait til it does!

And yes, someone please scan the article!

Tom.

Don't movie theaters in India block cell phone signals? That's a serious film going country.

Here y'all are. Hope this is readable. I tried OCR scanning, but with little success.

So I guess the "accountant's truth" would be that Herzog dressed in a bear suit and wrestled everybody.
