Christie's Auction House is selling off a little bit of New York history. (The replacement signs are shown above, as snapped on Saturday).
Vintage Wall Street Sign To Hit Auction Block
Wall St. and Broad St. Original post-top style intersection street sign. Late-19th to early-20th Century.
Student films tend to be .... student films. So how do you make a better experience for both filmmaker and audience? The answer: a five minute time limit. Takes away the chance to drag on. Forces the student to get to the point. Watchable, makeable. Perfect.
The films last night went beyond that, though: it was actually a good, tight set of styles, ideas and approaches. I was proud of the students I knew, and glad to see the work by the students I haven't worked with yet as well.
A fun time.
