I was very excited to stumble upon the lastest issue of Wolphin yesterday in a used book store. Wolphin is a “quarterly DVD magazine from McSweeney’s, lovingly encoded with unique and ponderable films designed to make you feel the way we felt when we learned that dolphins and whales sometimes, you know, do it… Each issue of Wholphin will contain a variety of extraordinary short films, docs, instructional videos, foreign sitcoms, and other cinema hybrids that deserve to be seen on very expensive televisions.”
It’s similar to The Journal of Short Film, but with bigger names attached.
Anyway, the latest volume (Vol. 2) includes the first part of The Power of Nightmares, a documentary that “explores the origins in the 1940s and 50s of Islamic Fundamentalism in the Middle East, and Neoconservatism in America, parallels between these movements, and their effect on the world today.” Very awesome.
You can also download The Power of Nightmares here, if you are so inclined.
