Alias gets a much needed rave in New York Magazine.
There is a fantastic opportunity to see a 5-day festival devoted to films on John Cage at The Anthology Film Archive in New York City:

  VARIATIONS: A JOHN CAGE FILM VIDEO & MUSIC FESTIVAL Anthology Film Archives, 32 Second Avenue New York, NY 10003 (212) 505-5181 Fax (212) 477-2714 It will take place between January 21-25, 2004 and will be the largest collection of Cage films shown in one place at one time to my knowledge. Many of these films are quite obscure and have never been seen in New York. For a full schedule of the events, please see: http://www.mode.com/news.html#varjan or http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/index2.html  (scroll way down to the bottom)   Also, at the 7:30 showing of FRM ZERO on January 22, there will be a concert of Cage's CARTRIDGE MUSIC, FOUR6, and other pieces. Performers will include Jim O'Rourke, Okkyung Lee, Alan Licht, and Tim Barnes. Organized by Okkyung Lee in conjunction with Mode Records

  The festival also coordinates with the first commercial release of the Frank Scheffer/Andrew Culver film on Cage, FROM ZERO: 4 Films on John Cage (mode 130, DVD only, for release on January 9th), on Mode records. Dutch director Frank Scheffer is known for his creative films on a number of 20th century composers, from Stravinsky and Schoenberg, to Carter and Boulez, to Eno and Zappa. Mode will be releasing a number of Scheffer's composer films on DVD over the next few years. Andrew Culver worked as Cage's assistant (and designed the computerized I-Ching program for Cage) from the early 1980s until Cage's death in 1992. Scheffer and Culver will be present at the premiere showing of FROM ZERO.

For more information on the release and the directors, please see:

Isnt the demonization of books an early step toward 1984 ?

"The FBI noted that use of almanacs or maps may be innocent, "the product of legitimate recreational or commercial activities." But it warned that when combined with suspicious behavior - such as apparent surveillance - a person with an almanac "may point to possible terrorist planning."

Is this an ANTI-information policy. (For our own good of course.)
