  • HOPPER/WELLES w/ Adam Lehrer

    Writer, artist & reformed enemy, ADAM LEHRER, of System of Systems (podcast) and Safety Propaganda (collaborative media platform), joins me on 8pl8s to discuss a few weird cuts from DENNIS HOPPER's directing career. But the fun doesn't stop there. Not before we discuss 2024 films, light BB-ing, NYC's decline, and the inimitability of the year 1999. Some say the fun never stops with 8pl8s, but I don't really buy into that type of hyperbole.

              Dorian Z. Bell (f.k.a. Dank Deleuze) joins me on 8pl8s to discuss Buddhist, zen, and ascetic currents in filmmaking. Slow cinema is a genre of art cinema characterised by a style that is minimalist, observational, and with little or no narrative, and which typically emphasizes long takes. It is sometimes called "Darius Csiky's favorite typa cinema". REAL.
