Gary Goldberg
Last Friday I saw this wonderful film 'Plates' by Gary Goldberg at Millennium Film Workshop and totally loved it. The characters were weird, but funny, there was almost no story, but a situation: one serves plates to the other, the other misbehaves. One acts as shy, polite, and friendly, the other mischievous, capricious, assertive and even dominant. The set up: table in the middle of the scene and two actors on both corners reminded me of some Jan Švankmajer's scenes.
The copy of the film I saw was much worse than on this picture. It was a transfer from an old VHS to DVD.
His films were preserved by many galleries and Millennium is one of them. This is an ad from a November 1990 issue of New Yorker:
And this is Goldberg's script for 'Plates'
There is very little information about Goldberg online:

Male/Female
1.
PASS THIS ON with Rickard Engfors / by Future Shorts
Indeed the eye contact is intense. The contrast between the glamourous male/female singer and red-neck audience is stricking. The scene becomes even more stricking when the audience starts responding to her charms and even dances and kinda accepts him/her. AMAZING. The eye contact with the boy is awesome.

Frans Zwartjes... Haunting...
Never heard of this film-maker until recently. Saw a few of his short films online and was totally enchanted.
There is something dark, uneasy, disturbing, foreboding. His characters are stricking: hysterical, eccentric, absorbed in their own worlds and weird activities. Heavy make-up, harsh lighting, deep velvet shadows, sound design... His use of light, camera moves, and cutting is amazing. The more I'm watching him, the more i'm convinced: he's a genius!
P.S. Wow! There is no article about F.Z. in english wikipedia... i guess somebody else has to discover him soon. The only reference to him in the article Filmbank:
"In 1970, Frans Zwartjes started teaching at the Vrije Academie in The Hague where he became an influential mentor to an entire generation of artists such as Jan Ketelaars, Gijs Schneemann, Matthijs Blonk, George Schouten and Ruud Monster, who constituted the so-called ‘Haagse Psychopolis school’. Zwartjes formulated his method as follows:
“I don't tell them anything. They have to work it out for themselves. There are no rules.”"
- as simple as drinking a cup of something :-)

Tableau Vivant
Cindy Sherman's exhibit opens at MoMA on Feb 26, 2012. I absolutely love her photographs or rather "tableaus and characters". I researched on what tableau and tableau vivant are and it looks like a really cool thing. Just recently I have been contemplating a video performance in this style not even knowing the real term for it.
Tableau Vivant is "living picture". The term describes a group of suitably costumed actors or artist's models, carefully posed and often theatrically lit. Throughout the duration of the display, the people shown do not speak or move. The approach thus marries the art forms of the stage with those of painting/photography, and as such it has been of interest to modern photographers.
Great videos I discovered on youtube:

How I love The Craven Sluck by M.Kuchar (1967)
Happy Adele/Floraine Connors
It is a story of a beautiful, but lonely woman and unrealized actress Adele (Floraine Connors). No longer young, she is still full of desire: sexy, with voluptuous shapes, and sparkling eyes.
Adele lives with her husband (Bob Cowan)and a dog Bocko. Her husband explicitely neglects her: at the table he shields himself with a newspaper and never appreciates her cooking; when she adjusts her stockings in bedroom, he rushes to the window to fix the curtains so that nobody from outside would see her. In a desperate voice the woman says: he does not appreciate my womanly charms. When he leaves, i'm going to kill myself.
After an unsuccessful suicide attemp ("When this peroxided woman would learn the responsibilities of a wife!"), she goes out to walk the dog. And meets Him. Morton is a tall cool stranger, young and passionate, played by handsome 25 y.o. George Kuchar. He lits her cigarette, entertains her, makes her laugh, flirts, catches her dog when it strays away and kisses her. Her life gets new meaning. She is happy and playful and is looking forward to an adventure. She reveals to him her desire: "I always wanted to be an actress!" - and performs a seducing dance, demonstrating her luscious body. At one point Morton's tall legs in pans with verticle stripes are behind her: she seems small and clingy, he is free, unreachable, his own man.
Morton returnes home, where his troubled wife, Florence, waits for him. She suffers terrible headaches due to a bicycle accident. She is robust and awkward, played also by Bob Cowan. He treates her with disgust: stuffs her mouth with medicines and lets her drink dirty toilet water right from the bowl with unflashed toilet paper. The scene is hilariously gross. She dramatically walks out of the bathroom and collapses in the corner.
Morton steps out and meets amother gorgeous and seductive stranger. They click from the first glance and cannot resist the urge. He follows her to her apartment.
At the same time, Adele, full with exciting expectations, cannot wait for her husband to leave for a job to call her new beloved. He answers the phone (we are shown his new passion sitting on a couch and pulling on her stockings). He answers that unfortunately cannot fullfil his promise and meet with her. Morton's wife, Florence, grabs the phone and reveals his situation. Here we observe a wonderful shift in time and space: the scene cuts from Morton's new mistress in her room to his apartment and wife.
Another cool cut 5 minutes earlier is a kiss of Adele and Morton with camera cutting to Bocko, the dog, pooping on a sidewalk. It reminded me of an image of the unflashed turd that George Kuchar will employ in his later films (I Married Heathen and A Reason to Live).
The woman is destroyed, crushed with sorrow and realization of her cruel destiny. Unwanted, unloved, neglected, she rushes outside. Her burden is so huge that only extraordinary, otherwoldly intrusion can relief her heart. Deus ex machina! Alien invasion! Soucermen attack the city! She runs from them but is struck with divine lightning and disappears.
Such exaggerated ending symbolizes the whole weight of her solitude and suffering. In a pathetic voice the narrator says: As we see all pieces of the story to fall in their meaningful places, we realized that God really! - and in a mumbling stumbling voice continues - really amm... umm. aaaa. came... knew what he was doin..... aaa... uhm...
A pathetic music - and the choice of music is remarkable - ends the video.

getting reaquainted with myself
I found this poem in the first couple years of my immigration to the states when my english was next to zero. I googled it again right now and am glad that the website is still alive and all Ralph's lovely poems are still there:
my life is 43 boxes
that you don't like
I guess my life can be
summed up best by the 43 boxes
at the Mini-Storage on Howe St.
locker number 17 on the fifth floor
That's where I put everything about me
that you didn't like. It all seemed
kind of odd, considering I mostly
liked everything about you, except for the fact
that you didn't like about 85% of me
My old friends would complain I wasn't
all there and they were right. One day
I looked in the mirror and I couldn't see
anything. I panicked and ran all the way up
to locker 17 and crawled inside and sat there with
all my grand old books and records and smelly
old clothes. I was hoping I could spend the night
there but they kicked me out and I sadly
came home to you
It didn't take long before you were gone, and
I was by myself in this big empty apartment
surrounded by my 43 boxes,
opening up each one and getting
re-acquainted with myself

Юрий Галансков. Человеческий манифест
1
Все чаще и чаще в ночной тиши
вдруг начинаю рыдать.
Ведь даже крупицу богатств души
уже невозможно отдать.
Никому не нужно:
в поисках Идиота
так намотаешься за день!
А люди идут, отработав,
туда, где деньги и бляди.
И пусть.
Сквозь людскую лавину
я пройду, непохожий, один,
как будто кусок рубина,
сверкающий между льдин.
Не-бо!
Хочу сиять я;
ночью мне разреши
на бархате черного платья
рассыпать алмазы души.
2
Министрам, вождям и газетам — не верьте!
Вставайте, лежащие ниц!
Видите, шарики атомной смерти
у мира в могилах глазниц.
Вставайте!
Вставайте!
Вставайте!
О, алая кровь бунтарства!
Идите и доломайте
гнилую тюрьму государства!
Идите по трупам пугливых
тащить для голодных людей
черные бомбы, как сливы,
на блюдища площадей.
3
Где они —
те, кто нужны,
чтобы горло пушек зажать,
чтобы вырезать язвы войны
священным ножом мятежа.
Где они?
Где они?
Где они?
Или их вовсе нет? —
Вон у станков их тени
прикованы горстью монет.
4
Человек исчез.
Ничтожный, как муха,
он еле шевелится в строчках книг.
Выйду на площадь
и городу в ухо
втисну отчаянья крик!
А потом, пистолет достав,
прижму его крепко к виску...
Не дам никому растоптать
души белоснежный лоскут.
Люди!
уйдите, не надо...
Бросьте меня утешать.
Все равно среди вашего ада
мне уже нечем дышать!
Приветствуйте Подлость и Голод!
А я, поваленный наземь,
плюю в ваш железный город,
набитый деньгами и грязью.
5
Небо! Не знаю, что делаю...
Мне бы карающий нож!
Видишь, как кто-то на белое
выплеснул черную ложь.
Видишь, как вечера тьма
жует окровавленный стяг...
И жизнь страшна, как тюрьма,
воздвигнутая на костях!
Падаю!
Падаю!
Падаю!
Вам оставляю лысеть.
Не стану питаться падалью —
как все.
Не стану кишкам на потребу
плоды на могилах срезать.
Не нужно мне вашего хлеба,
замешанного на слезах.
И падаю, и взлетаю
в полубреду,
в полусне.
И чувствую, как расцветает
человеческое
во мне.
6
Привыкли видеть,
расхаживая
вдоль улиц в свободный час,
лица, жизнью изгаженные,
такие же, как и у вас.
И вдруг, —
словно грома раскаты
и словно явление Миру Христа,
восстала
растоптанная и распятая
человеческая красота!
Это — я,
призывающий к правде и бунту,
не желающий больше служить,
рву ваши черные путы,
сотканные из лжи!
Это — я,
законом закованный,
кричу Человеческий манифест, —
И пусть мне ворон выклевывает
на мраморе тела
крест.
Все чаще и чаще в ночной тиши
вдруг начинаю рыдать.
Ведь даже крупицу богатств души
уже невозможно отдать.
Никому не нужно:
в поисках Идиота
так намотаешься за день!
А люди идут, отработав,
туда, где деньги и бляди.
И пусть.
Сквозь людскую лавину
я пройду, непохожий, один,
как будто кусок рубина,
сверкающий между льдин.
Не-бо!
Хочу сиять я;
ночью мне разреши
на бархате черного платья
рассыпать алмазы души.
2
Министрам, вождям и газетам — не верьте!
Вставайте, лежащие ниц!
Видите, шарики атомной смерти
у мира в могилах глазниц.
Вставайте!
Вставайте!
Вставайте!
О, алая кровь бунтарства!
Идите и доломайте
гнилую тюрьму государства!
Идите по трупам пугливых
тащить для голодных людей
черные бомбы, как сливы,
на блюдища площадей.
3
Где они —
те, кто нужны,
чтобы горло пушек зажать,
чтобы вырезать язвы войны
священным ножом мятежа.
Где они?
Где они?
Где они?
Или их вовсе нет? —
Вон у станков их тени
прикованы горстью монет.
4
Человек исчез.
Ничтожный, как муха,
он еле шевелится в строчках книг.
Выйду на площадь
и городу в ухо
втисну отчаянья крик!
А потом, пистолет достав,
прижму его крепко к виску...
Не дам никому растоптать
души белоснежный лоскут.
Люди!
уйдите, не надо...
Бросьте меня утешать.
Все равно среди вашего ада
мне уже нечем дышать!
Приветствуйте Подлость и Голод!
А я, поваленный наземь,
плюю в ваш железный город,
набитый деньгами и грязью.
5
Небо! Не знаю, что делаю...
Мне бы карающий нож!
Видишь, как кто-то на белое
выплеснул черную ложь.
Видишь, как вечера тьма
жует окровавленный стяг...
И жизнь страшна, как тюрьма,
воздвигнутая на костях!
Падаю!
Падаю!
Падаю!
Вам оставляю лысеть.
Не стану питаться падалью —
как все.
Не стану кишкам на потребу
плоды на могилах срезать.
Не нужно мне вашего хлеба,
замешанного на слезах.
И падаю, и взлетаю
в полубреду,
в полусне.
И чувствую, как расцветает
человеческое
во мне.

Сценарий фильма "Бруклин Лав Стори"
Бруклин Лав Стори (Навеяно случайно услышанной песней Арсена Петросова)
Сцена 1
Арсен и Алина выходят из дома, подходят к машине Арсена. Звенит селлфон с рингтоном "Кайфуем, сегодня мы с тобой кайфуем".
Арсен поднимает трубку: "Армен! это ты? как дела!.... Да, да, ми скоро будэм!" Садятся в машину, отъезжают.
Сцена 2
День рождение Армена в ресторане. Армен просит разрешения пригласить Алину на танец. Арсен спрашивает: "А гдэ твой дэвушк, Свэта?" Армен объясняет, что Свэта- бич, была заподозрена в измене, хотя и неясно с кем, и изгнана с позором. Арсен сочувствует и разрешает потанцевать с Алиной.
Сцена 3
Армен танцует с Алиной, но ведет себя вызывающе: трогает девушку и неприлично близко прислоняется. Алина кокетничает с Арменом. За столом, Армен снова заигрывает с Алиной. Арсен злится, делает ей замечание, на что Алина отвечает: "А что? я ничего!"
Армен осмеливается и шепчет ей что-то секретное на ушко. Алина смущенно и весело смеется. Арсен вскакивает и набрасывается на Армена. Завязывается драка. Гости разнимают дерущихся, женщины визжат. Арсен вызывает Армена на дуэль.
Сцена 4
Братва на машинах съезжается к месту дуэли (2-3 машины). Алина стоит в середине кадра на заднем плане. Армен с Арсеном сходятся и начинают драку. Бьют друг другу морды, выворачивают руки. В какой-то момент Армен выхватывает нож и атакует Арсена. Арсен падает. Армен склоняется над ним. Арсен выхватывает нож у Армена и зарезает его. Оба умирают, падая один на другого.
Сцена 5
Алина в горе, смотрит на двух мужчин, лежащих друг на друге. Склоняется над трупами, рыдает. У Арсена из кармана выпадает телефон. Телефон вибрирует и звонит знакомым рингтоном "Кайфуем, сегодня мы с тобой кайфуем". На дисплее высвечивается имя 'Свэта'.
Телефон крупным планом. Затемнение. Финальные титры.

Места съемок: подъезд дома, ресторан, берег или поле.
Актеры: девушка, два парня, экстра: 5+
