Paris, je t'aime ("Paris, I love you") brings together some of cinema's
most eclectic, acclaimed directors (Alexander Payne, Alfonso Cuarón, the
Coen brothers, Wes Craven and Walter Salles) along with some of the most
intriguing actors working today (Steve Buscemi, Catalina Sandino Moreno,
Maggie Gyllenhaal, Fanny Ardant, Nick Nolte, Gena Rowlands, Juliette
Binoche, Elijah Wood and Natalie Portman) for a series of short films
celebrating the spirit of Paris. Each director tells of an unusal
encounter in a Parisian neighborhood; the vignettes go beyond the
postcard view of Paris to portray aspects of the city rarely seen on the
big screen.(116 min)

Shapes and Sizes

Yeasayer
Vollmar
Tues. Sept. 18th
8pm
$7
The Waldron Arts Center

Shapes and Sizes are Canadian imports making a splash on Sufjan
Stevens Asthmatic Kitty Records. The off-kilter time signatures and
quirky instrumentation recall Deerhoof and Bloomington's favorite sons
The Impossible Shapes.They are a hodgepodge of sounds and ideas that
come together to create a piece of indie-rock perfection that is a
treat for the ears.

Brooklyn natives Yeasayer return to the Bloomington stomping grounds
where they wowed audiences opening for Frog Eyes. The groups music is
as richly diverse as the members themselves and the burrough they call
home. Much like TV on the Radio, Yeasayer's music is a perfect
amalgamation of gospel, funk, disco, pop, rock, and soul. In a sense,
take everything that is good about music over the past 50 years or so.
Throw it all into a blender and let it marinate in the art-rock
inflected sheen of Brooklyn and you have the aural joy that is
Yeasayer.

Vollmar is the create outlet of the humble virtuoso Justin Vollmar.
Vollmar's unassuming demeanor belies a gifted songwriter and musician
whose songs are touch all those who bare witness to the serenity of
his craft.

Rivulets plays nice, atmospheric, and swirlingly dark songs.  He uses lots of effects, but without being wanky, and all the stuff that's happening musically is a nice counterpoint to clear, direct vocals.  Remora is also playing, though I don't know anything about them.

Ghost Mice is acoustic guitar and violin-based sing-along songs about typically punk themes that are sometimes personal and sometimes funny.  The Gadabout Film Fest is an unassuming, DIY traveling film festival that is the product of a lot of hard work by some nice folks from upstate New York.
