In a piece titled Best in show: the experts’ choice in the Art Newspaper, Steve Wilson, co-founder of 21C Museum Foundation in Louisville, selected the very same film by Anthony Goicolea that VoCA had recommended on November 27 (please scroll down or click VoCA recommends in the sidebar).

The film was showing with Postmasters gallery at Scope.
It is presently showing (until January 17th) with the Monte Clark Gallery in Toronto.

VoCA loves when “the experts” concur.

Wilson says of The Septemberists “It’s a beautiful, luscious film. The boys are shown hiking, shearing sheep and gathering cotton, yet there are references to the persecution of Jews during the Nazi era. Portions of the film are very ritualistic. The way it has been shot makes it feel as if it is from World War I, World War II or during the Revolution.”

We wouldn’t go quite that far, but still.
