A Recent Interview (on Movies and the Detroit Film Theatre)

I recently had a fairly extensive interview published in Paula Guthat’s  “Examiner.Com” Classic Movie Blog.  You can read it by clicking onto the link above.  It’s the first time I’ve been interviewed regarding my life as a true “film fanatic.”  I think it’s a good, wide-ranging interview.  I’d liked to have gone into experimental films and documentaries a bit more.  I tried to center it more around “classic films.”

I talked about my experiences as a devotee of the Detroit Institute of Art’s Detroit Film Theatre.  I go there fairly often, going back to the very first season.  I even attended the afternoon movies, before the DFT started.  Eventually, I’ll do a series of blogs on that here.  Watch this space!   Until then though, here’s this.

I also talked about some of my favorite films with a special focus on Erich Von Stroheim’s silent film version of Greed.  Enjoy!
