quixote / bruce baillie. 1965

Co-founder of Canyon Cinema and the San Francisco Cinematheque and one of the godparents of experimental film, Bruce Baillie (1931-2020) has forged a singular path in his visionary explorations of the world, his exquisite treatment of light and fragmented storytelling influencing successive generations of like-minded filmmakers. Shot on a cross-country journey during 1964 and 1965, is the Baillie film most in need of rediscovery. Joining the ranks of Bob Dylan, Robert Frank and Jack Kerouac in chronicling a tumultuous period in American history from the road, Baillie sets out “to show how in the conquest of our environment in the New World, Americans have isolated themselves from nature and from one another”.

This video of #BeckyQuick and #RobertFrank #scamwashing the new #TRUMP and #MELANIA memecoins on The Cartoon Network (AKA "#CNBC") as if they're legitimate financial instruments is everything wrong with business journalism.

Watching CNBC call Sam Bankman-Fried "the JP Morgan of crypto" for years was easier to stomach than this. For fuck's sake the goddamn crypto industry was more skeptical than these 🤡🤡.

unreal.
