My french is pretty bad. Could someone give some information what Batskin comments?

[FreakAnimalFinland]

Actually no need. Found batskin's interview from greek rac tribute blog. Poorly translated with babelfish or something, but you get the general idea about his view.

"Skin for skin" (Job, 2.4).

By the way, does anyone recognise the hard electronic music sometimes used? Around 5.30 in the third part, for example.

ah sorry. I didn't read your request. yes it gives an idea.
there are a couple of very nice documentaries about rac/ns scene back in the days. check Les Cranes rases, with extensive interview with Evil Skins singer and some aggro scenes. there is another one regarding Batskin in its most political days, showing him and friends around with pitbulls. I have seen something similar when I was 19 and in school trip to Paris and they looked quite threatening.

Batskin is now running a biker bar and is connected to a 1% MC (I could not recognise his patch), somebody said HA, but the colours look different.
He was dating porn star Tabatha Cash who used to sport an AWB tattoo on her tits.

He is still quite respected/feared.

My Best Fiend.
Herzog document about Kinski. Absolute essential. Good stories related to all the movies they did together.

Glömda platser (Suom. telkkarissa: Tyhjät pihat, autiot tehtaat)
Document with Jan Jörnmark, exploring the forgotten, decaying urban areas and industrial buildings. Amazing footage and background about years of swedish economic hypergrowth that resulted simply too much being build and at the same time change of economy and european industrial production and result is huge abandoned sites. No re-runs expected on TV anytime soon, according to YLE site, but related material can be found:

Worth mentioning is that he has also released two photobooks with this theme; "Övergivna Platser" and "Övergivna Platser 2" (translates to "Abandoned sites").
Features not only abandoned industrial sites, but also dilapidated tenement blocks and other places. Can be found at adlibris.com

I think there is several photos from Lyckholms Bryggerier, the place where Utmarken was located, in one of the books.

Hans-Joachim Klein: My Life as Terrorist (2005) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0841179/

Watched this one last night. Nice down to earth interviews with Klein, talks about the 1975 OPEC raid in Vienna, how/why he went into hiding, and why he turned himself in. He's now a free man and has been living in Normandy after France gave him amnesty. A worthwhile watch but you might want to familiarize yourself with RZ/PLO/PFLP matters of the early-mid 70s as it draws on some of that knowledge. Carlos (2010) is a recommended precursor to this one.

The Collectors by Fred Burns.

Fifty percent of us collect something. In this film we meet some of the UK's most eccentric collectors. From collecting adjustable spanners to Commodore cassettes; from Bakelite to china dogs and from valuable old Irish photographs to bric-a-brac, which takes over the house, it seems there are a countless number of ways to collect. Do we do it for nostalgic reasons and the longing for holding on to yesterday, or is it for some kind of recognition of status within a sub-culture. This documentary throws us into the world of collecting where we seek the answers to these questions. We look into how collecting began and how it has changed over time and ask the all important question - 'why do we collect?'

Someone linked to http://snd-rcv.tumblr.com/ over on Chronditic board. Docu about Scottish noise/experimental/avant scene split into two parts (approx 20mins each I think, without checking again?), mostly talking heads stuff. Gentle but interesting.

I've been always interested to know if there is book or document film about porn collectors. I don't want to hear about some old ladies collecting ivory phallic statues, but PORN collectors. And not about guy who has 100 vivid dvd's, but the real deal. I have yet to even meet anyone with extensive enough stash of xxx to call "collection". Or maybe couple, but their interest remained as collections of acts - specific video clip dubbed on VHS - basically obsessive mix-tapes, rather than collection of complete existing items.
I vaguely recall there was some old book about this, but never got it.

TV documentary about Finnish black metal (as far as I understand) - supposedly made by RIDE FOR REVENGE member(s). I recognize the guy in the dark...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWzlSeGR5bU

Does anyone know whether this will be available somehow with subtitles? Fun to watch either way I guess (at least I understand the curse words, which I guess is about half of the dialogue, haha!).

[FreakAnimalFinland]

I think 2012 should be dvd with subtitles. Also as far as I know, the Finnish noise document should be as bonus features of that dvd. Directed by mr. Sami Kettunen as well.
This document will be at theaters during end of year and early 2012. There is planned double feature in Lahti Kino Iiris with noise & bm document together. We'll see if they manage to make a deal for it.

Also just now being released to theater round is Punk O Cine documentary with focus on current Finnish Punk. Can be seen in many cities, in smaller independent theaters. Also coming to Lahti Kino Iiris in December.

Watched a docu on amateur internet porn on Oprah's new tv channel. Nothing special; 50 year old woman doing webcam's for guys who like to call her "Mommy" & attractive Southern couple fucking every night to pay for their house/child & fat, white trash couple who fucked their relationship up over internet porn (it it hadn't been porn, it'd been something else). Next Sunday night, the same show will have a new episode on child-teen prostitution.

COLLECTORS  by Julian P. Hobbs  - a documentary about serial killer's murderabilia collectors, with some pretty and interesting interviews with fanatics, victims parents (who as usual mourn in eternal grief) and serial killers (Wayne Henley, the partner in crime of Dean Corll)

WHORES' GLORY  by Micheal Glawogger-a documentary which focuses on whores lives in Mexico, Thailand and India, a nice movie for sure (in the vein of Grodecki's outputs, but with women), some hardcore sex is shown as well
