NFL Network’s Total Access aired its last broadcast on Friday, ending after 21 years.
Kimmi Chex, Mike Yam, Michael Robinson, and David Carr bid farewell to the sports program in an emotional episode that saw them all remember the good times during their tenure.
“A very bittersweet special edition of the show today as we close out a two-decade-long chapter,” Chex said at the show’s opening.
Chex also noted that it had been 7,500 days since Total Access premiered on NFL Network in 2003.
At the end of the show, the four co-hosts took a moment to honor the people behind the cameras that help make the show happen every day.
“It’s a bittersweet moment to attempt and say goodbye,” Chex said. “I think we all believe it was just beginning to have the honor to help guide the show alongside these three men who are now friends, is something I’ve always dreamt of.

Mubi and the Film Society of Lincoln Center are once again partnering to show highlights from the New York Film Festival's Projections online.The New York Film Festival’s Projections section presents an international selection of film and video work that expands upon our notions of what the moving image can do and be. Drawing on a broad range of innovative modes and techniques, including experimental narratives, avant-garde poetics, crossovers into documentary and ethnographic realms, and contemporary art practices, Projections brings together a diverse offering of short, medium, and feature-length work by some of today’s most vital and groundbreaking filmmakers and artists.Projections runs October 7 - 8 in New York, and before this weekend event Mubi will be exclusively showing two features and three shorts that are among our favorites from the festival's past two years.

Mubi is partnering with the New York Film Festival to present highlights from Projections, a festival program of film and video work that expands upon our notions of what the moving image can do and be. Michael Robinson's Mad Ladders (2015) is showing on Mubi nearly worldwide October 5 - September 4, 2016.Mad Ladders began in 2013, as I was trawling through Whitney Houston videos, thinking I might make something of her many televised entrances and exits from stages and sets, and perhaps incorporate them into a different project (which soon after became The Dark, Krystle). Houston’s performance of “All at Once” from the 1987 American Music Awards started my fascination with the show’s elaborate staging. Following an introduction by host Diana Ross, the music begins, and a patterned curtain rises to reveal Houston walking downstage in silhouette as a formation of three large triangular sculptures move gracefully around her, all while the camera creeps steadily inward.

Two months before Sinead O'Connor was reported missing, she appeared to be "fine." O’Connor, 49, recently performed in Chicago, taking the stage at Metro back on March 4 with Sons of the Silent Age. The performance, at a David Bowie tribute concert, included Sinead's renditions of the Bowie classics "Sorrow" and "Life on Mars." Metro's owner Joe Shanahan tells People O’Connor “was in totally great spirits” during the March 4 set. "She was in fine form - absolutely fine form - and her voice was in even better form," says Shanahan. "She was there with a cigarette in one hand and...

Things have gone from bad to worse for Sinead O’Connor, as she’s gone missing after going for a bike ride in the Chicago suburb of Wilmette, Illinois.
According to Police Sgt. Michael Robinson, the “Nothing Compares 2 U” songstress is classified as “missing suicidal” after writing a note to her 28-year-old son Jake Reynolds via Facebook regarding custody of her 12-year-old son Shane.
O’Connor wrote, "Do not abandon your brother or any other of my babies again. What you have done to your brother and your mother is Literally criminal."

The New STYLEThis is the second year that the New York Film Festival has presented Projections, its extensive showcase of experimental film and video that for years had been called Views From the Avant-Garde. The name change (or "rebranding," in the parlance of our ugly times) corresponded, of course, to the departure of longtime programmer Mark McElhatten. Under his stewardship, Views became one of the premiere experimental film festivals in the world, a long weekend of high caliber dispatches from established masters, alongside bracing discoveries by up-and-coming makers whose work somehow caught Mark's eye. His programming partner, Film Comment's Gavin Smith, often brought along selections that complemented Mark's, even as they were out of his usual bailiwick.The Views era was not without its dissenters. Some complained that McElhatten rounded up the usual suspects year after year, sometimes without regard to the relative quality of their latest offerings. Others, most prominently Su Friedrich,...

Z Nation, Season 1, Episode 4, “Full Metal Zombie”
Written by Eric Bernt
Directed by Michael Robinson
Airs Fridays at 10pm Est on Syfy
The appeal of Z Nation undoubtedly lies in how incredibly action packed it is. With plenty of zombie skull smashing and some very fast paced episodes, it can be a welcome retreat for a tired mind at the end of a long work week. Although this makes for a fun series, the profound lack of depth in the plot may disengage viewers and prove troublesome in future episodes. At this point in the season, there is minimal promise that some sort of satisfying plot twist or big reveal is to come in the next few episodes. The main characters are burning through foe after foe in the span of each forty minute installment, with nothing particularly set in motion to imply an upcoming substantial obstacle.

The Ann Arbor Film Festival makes for an ideal entry point for festival novices wanting to dive into the cinema referred to as avant-garde, experimental, or simply, artist’s. The Michigan Theater hosts all of the screenings for the fest (minus a straggler here and there), making it easy to catch as many films as your heart desires. After 52 years, the festival has created a community for itself in the city. On one end, you have the pros who’ve been there since the beginning and openly opine for the good old days when the smell of activism filled the theater. On the other, you have “the youth”; the University of Michigan providing an inexhaustible supply of the curious and the studious. And, of course, you have the typical film fans and socializers balancing out the mix. This sense of community is cemented...

On this week’s The Originals, Elijah struggles to keep the peace in New Orleans, Klaus busies himself with painting and a redheaded witch, Hayley breaks her family’s curse, Davina heals, and Marcel quietly plots his return to power.
Sad as it may be, “The Originals” is showing no sign of stumbling following the loss of series regular Claire Holt (Rebekah Mikaelson). If anything, the story’s tighter than it’s been in weeks, and everyone is given a purpose in the episode. Though light on the action, “Moon Over Bourbon Street” is a promising beginning to the season’s final chapter.

No matter how much he denies it, Klaus clearly misses Rebekah. All he does is stay in the compound and paint - and he has taken to sleeping with Genevieve. Elijah is annoyed by this little tryst, but what is more annoying is this funk that Klaus is in. “You wanted this throne, so you must accept this responsibility.” Klaus blows him off so Elijah takes up the responsibility. He calls together a meeting of the heads of the families - er, factions. Genevieve for the witches; Diego for the vampires; Kieran for the humans; and Elijah for the Originals. He tears up Marcel’s original decree for peace in the city and plans to write a new one. “We are all responsible for the chaos in the city,...

Fans of "The Originals" got a bit of a jolt last night as Rebekah drove off into the sunset, leaving us to wonder if she's gone for good or just taking a break from her battling brothers. Well, today the official word has come...
THR has confirmed that Australian actress Holt is indeed departing the show as a series regular although the door remains open for her to return as a guest star, potentially reprising her role as early as later this season or during the show's sophomore run.
Rebekah first appeared early in the third season of "The Vampire Diaries" in the 2011 episode "The End of the Affair," prompting an expanded presence on that series and leading to her landing the co-lead on "The Originals" with Joseph Morgan as Klaus and Daniel Gillies as Elijah. Holt has played the character for more than 50 episodes.

Nb: Films by Robert Beavers, Peter Hutton, and Luther Price were unavailable for preview. However, I said some very nice things about these men and their work in general over at The Dissolve.
In years past, I have attempted to present this extended article as a preview; my aim has been to send it off into the world either the day before of the day of Tiff's kick-off. That has proven impossible this year, and, dear reader, I am heartily sorry for having offended thee... But the fact that Wavelengths is a beat that is becoming harder and harder for one person to adequately cover is undoubtedly a sign of good health. Since last year, when Tiff enfolded the former Visions section (a space for formally adventurous narrative features) into Wavelengths (Tiff's experimental showcase), not only has interest in the section grown exponentially.

London, August 24: A 55-year-old man was arrested for trespassing, after he tried to pass a note to Taylor Swift, which included his phone number.
Us veteran Joseph Bernatche, who was taken into custody on the spot, will be taken to court on Friday, the Mirror reported.
The police officials have determined that this wasn't the first time Bernatche had tried to contact the record-breaking singer, as he dropped in uninvited to her house in April.
Michael Robinson, who is representing Bernatche, said that he was trying to pass a note to the security guard to give presumably to the 'Love Story' hitmaker. (Ani)...

Below is the lineup for Images’ specific film screening events and some live performances.

Filmmaker Bruce Baillie was there at the first Aaff — and numerous times since. He’s back this year with a major retrospective of his entire career that spans three separate programs. Baillie, who’ll be in attendance of course, will present a brand-new restored version of his epic pseudo-Western Quick Billy, plus screenings of his classic short movies such as Castro Street, Yellow Horse, Quixote, To Parsifal and more.
There’s also a program dedicated to the films of the late Robert Nelson, including Bleu Shut and Special Warning, as well as sprinklings of underground classics throughout...

Quite the rave from Roberta Smith in the New York Times:
One of the best Whitney Biennials in recent memory may or may not contain a lot more outstanding art than its predecessors, but that's not the point. The 2012 incarnation is a new and exhilarating species of exhibition, an emerging curatorial life form, at least for New York.
Possessed of a remarkable clarity of vision, a striking spatial intelligence and a generous stylistic inclusiveness, it places on an equal footing art objects and time-based art — not just video and performance art but music, dance, theater, film — and does so on a scale and with a degree of aplomb we have not seen before in this town. In a way that is at once superbly ordered and open-ended, densely structured and, upon first encounter, deceptively unassuming, the exhibition manages both to reinvent the signature show of the Whitney Museum of American...

With the Ann Arbor Film Festival holding its 50th anniversary in 2012 on March 24 to April 1, the fest has already lined up a fantastic set of special programs to celebrate.
Previously, it has already been announced that underground film icon Bruce Baillie will be in attendance to screen three separate programs of his work that spans his fifty-plus year career. Baillie has had a long relationship with Aaff, initially screening his films at the fest’s inaugural edition in 1963.
Joining Baillie this year will be feminist filmmaking trailblazer, Barbara Hammer, who will host a retrospective of her own films on Wednesday, March 28 as part of Aaff’s Out Night. Aaff will also be honoring the late Robert Nelson, who just passed away in January, with a selection of his films curated by Mark Toscano, a close friend of Nelson’s and an archivist at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Denver -- A television anchor who was bitten in the face by an 85-pound Argentine Mastiff during a live broadcast was released from a hospital on Thursday.
Kyle Dyer of Kusa-tv was bitten Wednesday while doing a story about the dog's rescue from an icy pond by a firefighter in suburban Lakewood.
Dyer was interviewing firefighter Tyler Sugaski and the dog's owner, Michael Robinson, when the dog, named Max, bit her on the face. Sugaski tended to Dyer in the studio until paramedics arrived and took her to the hospital.

Chicago Underground Film Festival
The reigning champion of all underground film festivals is still going strong as it nears in on two decades in operation. That’s right, the Chicago Underground Film Festival is now open for submissions for their 19th annual edition that will run sometime in 2012.
There’s a reason why Cuff has been so successful for so many years: The fierce dedication of festival Artistic Director Bryan Wendorf, who’s been running things since the very beginning. However, the truly astounding thing that Wendorf has done is that he’s allowed the fest to grow over the past 19 years.
Since the fest abandoned its transgressive leanings many moons ago, Cuff has always allowed the notion of what an “underground film” is to grow and adapt. For that reason, it’s always difficult to pin down exactly what Wendorf and his crew are looking to program every year,...

Natural and electronic worlds collide in spectacular technicolor fashion in the video for “Excuses” by music producer Bibio (aka Stephen James Wilkinson). The video is directed by Michael Robinson. Intangible forms — e.g. electronic blips, water flowing, TV screen flickering — pop and flash by to accompany Bibio’s ethereal sounds, ending in a chaotic rapid fire collision of image and audio.
There’s an elemental connection between the different images seen in the video. There’s the fire of the candle and firecracker sparklers, there’s water flowing and — standing in for air — electronic transmission signals. But, ultimately, everything gets boiled down to transmission. Even the outline of the singer’s face is removed from the physical world and transformed into an abstraction of video lines.
Although there are very different techniques of transmitting mostly abstract forms combined with a few real world objects, all these images flow together nicely throughout the video.
