Interviewer: How did you get involved in filmmaking and traditional culture or folklore films? Les Blank: When I went to do graduate work, I had the desire to be a film director of fiction films. I didn't have any camera skills. I didn't actually pick up the camera until I got out of Tulane and into USC in Los Angeles. There, I started learning about still and film photography. When I got out of film school, I had a hard time getting into the show business end of the media in Hollywood. I wasn't a very good fit. I also had a wife who was pregnant and needed to be fed. So I got a job doing industrial films and learned how to put together non-fiction film projects for industries and corporations and training films for the military. Also, when I had been at film school, I saw some ethnographic films that got me very interested -

Perspective = Perception 2000 AD. is "not" the first year of the 21st century. It's the last year of the 20th century. "Where you stand on an issue depends entirely upon where you sit." Newspaper columnist, Les Blank reflects the divergent perspectives of our world in his internet column, "Off The Wall". From life's inner core to it's outer fringes Les Blank has been writing about it for the Central Vancouver Island area since 1991. He says that it's a common mistake to consider that the limit of our power of perception is also the limit of all there is to perceive, and so he has set about expanding our horizons and providing us with new ways to look at the world around us.

Frederick Wiseman: Welfare Les Blank: Burden of Dreams Thursday January 13, 2000 Films about film-making are usually deeply self-conscious, and sometimes deceiving. But there is one at least that succeeds in surpassing the movie whose making it describes. Les Blank's Burden of Dreams admittedly had it easier than most. The movie it examined was Werner Herzog's Fitzcarraldo, made on location deep in the rainforests of South America and a monument to Herzog's almost masochistic desire to do the impossible impossibly well. Fitzcarraldo is the true story of the attempt by an arguably mad Irishman called Fitzgerald to build an opera house in the Amazon. He had initially planned to build a railroad across the continent, starting off with his profits from an ice factory he had built; this new plan was even more audacious.

S.C.I.U.R.E. (Synthèse Cohérente d'Informations Utiles sur le Raélisme et les Elohims) Ami Lecteur, voici un message du Guide National pour la France à tous les membres des structures raéliennes, envoyé il y a quelques jours (date de rédaction de cette page : 12 septembre 2000). Mes commentaires sont en italiques Les noms de famille sont volontairement tronqués pour des raisons évidentes. +++ IMPORTANT +++ A Tous les membres des structures. "Et ceux qui agissent contre le guide des guides et essaient de l'empêcher de mener à bien sa mission ou qui le côtoient pour semer la discorde parmi ceux qui le suivent verront également leur vie devenir un enfer et ils sauront pourquoi, sans que rien ne paraissent être dû à quelques choses venue d'en haut. "Le vrai visage de dieu- Page 293. Bonjour, Je suis informé, qu'actuellement certains membres des structures font circuler des documents qui proviennent de "raëliens" extérieurs à la structure et dans lesquels on peut prendre connaissance d'une théorie qui est en contradiction totale avec le fond des Messages. Outre le mysticisme contenu dans cette théorie, Notre Prophète Bien Aimé Raël y est traité de "...faux messie..." et les Elohim, considérés comme, je cite : "...Un peuple dont le cœur c'est vraiment desséché et dont les Emotions se sont taries..." et qui dans le corps de ce texte sont considérés comme de dangereux envahisseurs. D'autre part, ce document critique et conteste vivement la structure mise en place par les ELOHIM via

Ce texte a été publié par moi-même sur les forums le 26 septembre 2000, à 00:46 CET. Bonjour, Une nouvelle m'attriste aujourd'hui. Peut-être n'est-elle issue que d'une mauvaise information; je l'espère sincèrement au nom de plusieurs dizaines, voire centaines de personnes. Voici de quoi il s'agit : Vous vous souvenez peut-être de la sortie du produit financier InfiniFund chez les raéliens. En résumé, ce produit miracle devait rapporter au moins 18% l'an, répartis comme suit: - 7% l'an à l'investisseur - 1% pour les frais - 10% partagés entre l'investisseur le la Religion Raélienne - Tout ce qui dépasse éventuellement le 18% pour l'investisseur Mise de fonds minimum : USD 1000.- 18% par an... Quelle aubaine, comme placement garanti ! On affirme en plus que le gestionnaire du fonds obtient 22% en moyenne pour les placements raéliens ! Le taux est digne des meilleurs produits, compte tenu du risque apparent (le revenu apparaît, pour l'adepte, comme garanti par la hiérarchie raélienne, puisque ni Raël ni les guides principaux ne peuvent se tromper...)

Main Columns Record Reviews Features ... Contact Compulsive Rock N Roll - Les Sexareenos - 09.13.00 Les Sexareenos - Finger Party! 7" EP It's sort of hard to write about les Sexareenos. It's hard to write about them now because I've been blabbing about 'em non-stop, listening to them daily since the needle on my record player first hit the groove on side A of their LP (on Sympathy). I love Les Sexareenos. Above my desk I have a postcard of a guy laying on his back on stage with a saxophone jammed into his round, sweating face. At the front of the stage, kids have their hands balled into fists, screaming. You can see in their twisted, mouth agape faces, and in the clinched face of the sax player that this is rock 'n' roll. Les Sexareenos invoke the same feeling of pure howling musical lust. Les Sexareenos are a rock 'n' roll band. They could easily sneak their way on to a volume of Teenage Shutdown and you'd probably wouldn't be able to tell them apart from their musical ancestors. The recording is perfectjust trashy enough with out coming off like they were trying to make it sound like an electrifying, blaring ball of passion. The songs themselves are crazed, like the devil himself jumped in their skin, lit their Canadian asses on fire, diseased their brains and made them all maniacs. As the singer yells with a hoarse voice that is testament to unbridled rock 'n' roll fever, the guitars gang up on each other, then dogpile the drums and bass, topping it all off with a sweet lil' Farfisa action.
