The Windmill Movie 

March 1, 7pm - Metrograph 

Q&A with Alexander Olch and Susan Meiselas following the screening

“What if someone else wrote your autobiography?” That is the question posited by Alexander Olch as he tells the life-story of his former Harvard professor, the filmmaker Richard P. Rogers. For twenty years, Rogers worked on an autobiographical portrait that remained incomplete upon his death in 2001. Hours and hours of footage, stored on hard drives in the home Rogers shared with his partner, the acclaimed photographer Susan Meiselas, were discovered, and form the foundation of this exploration of the scion of an old New York family who chose the life of the artist. Olch doesn’t tell Rogers’ story as much as creates it, filling in and conjuring what didn’t exist. The Windmill Movie may bear a passing resemblance to the frequently labeled “hybrid-documentary,” but it is in fact completely singular, a film-form unto itself.

Official Selection New York Film Festival, 2008

Endurance of Public Disgrace - Felt Sorry For Chief - Gambling Charge - Creating Consternation - Favorite Dog Shot

15 Jan 1884. Austin Daily Statesman.

It is remarked that the Statesman is hard on the Austin police force. The hardest thing is the endurance of public disgrace, brought on Austin by the inefficiency of policemen.

Ben Thompson felt sorry for the chief of police and his chicken-hearted subordinates and walked in and gave himself up for trial. It remains to be seen now what will be done with him. The Statesman will give a stenographic report of the trial.

CITY MATTERS IN BRIEF.

Dick Rogers, colored, of Masontown, was before Judge Tegener on a charge of gambling. He plead guilty and was fired $10 and costs.

A man by the name of Thompson was overhauled by officers J.B. Thompson and E.R. Oberwetter and placed in “durance vile” for entering the house of a citizen and demanding food and for creating consternation generally among the household. It was ascertained, however, that he is a subject of insanity and will be tried tomorrow on that question.

Wm. Radam, the well-known florist, who lives two and a half miles east of the city, lost his favorite dog last Sunday night, the result of a pistol shot from some person in the road in front of his residence. Hearing some shots fired he took his dog and went out the gate to see what was the matter, which resulted as above. The dog was shot in his own yard.

How did the jackrabbit get its name?

How did the jackrabbit get its name?

The jackrabbit gets its name from its long ears, which resemble those of a jackass, or donkey.  Though it was originally called a “jackass rabbit,” this animal’s name has long since been shortened to “jackrabbit.”  The jackrabbit is a hare, and not a true rabbit. It has longer ears and longer legs than a rabbit.  This large hare can run up to 45 miles an hour to escape its enemies.  While running…

Why do owls turn their heads to look around? Since an owl cannot move its eyes around like a person can, it has to turn its whole head in order to look in another direction.
