Here is the first picture we have of Brent Stewart's short film The Dirty Ones, which completed post-production earlier in the month. The film was described in a May 2008 issue of Nashville Scene as the story of two "Mennonite sisters confronting the modern world." The Dirty Ones was produced by Harmony Korine with O'Salvation and stars Rachel Korine and Raven Dunn. It is expected the film will soon appear at festivals.

The May-June issue of Lodown features an interview with Audrey Ewell, co-director of the Black Metal documentary Until the Light Takes Us. Asked about how and why Harmony Korine came to appear in the film, Ewell answers:

Well, he's been into black metal for many years; he also used Burzum in the Gummo soundtrack and has put up many Black Metal-related exhibitions in several galleries. Basically, we just went about it the same way that we did with everyone else in the movie: called him up and told him what we were doing, asked if he wanted to be involved. We're just very honest in what we're doing and what we want.

The Alex Ballinger book New Cinematographers, released by Laurence King Publishing in 2004, features a detailed account of the production of Gummo by cinematographer Jean-Yves Escoffier (1950 - 2003). The article can be found on the site here (unique images from the book can be seen here and here). The article "And The Ass Saw The Angel," from the July 2000 issue of The Face, is also new to the site. It can now be found here.

The entire website has been revised. You will find new information and pictures on each page. Thanks to Robert B. and the various contributors, including Chris Lusher, baal, langley1986, random and gringo bazingo.

Mister Lonely will be released by Force Entertainment on R4 DVD in Australia on July 16 (ezydvd.com.au). The film will also be released by Tartan Video on R2 DVD in the UK on July 28 (amazon.co.uk). The UK DVD will include deleted scenes and the film's trailer. It is not yet clear what extras, if any, will be on the Australian DVD.

In an entry in his blog on the RVCA website here (May 16), Aaron Rose writes of a recent trip to Nashville, saying, "Harmony and I are working on a book together and we spent two days straight scanning what seemed like everything he’s ever made. It was super emotional, because this was the first time he had seen most of this stuff in years. The book is going to be a career retrospective and it’s gonna be bonkers!"

The half-hour documentary Mouth Music (1981), directed by Blaine Dunlap and Sol Korine (father of Harmony Korine), is available for viewing online here. In 2007, The Arts Center of Cannon County (Tennessee) was awarded a grant to aide in the restoration of several documentaries by Dunlap and Sol Korine, including Mouth Music, with a view of eventually releasing them on DVD. Information about this can be found here. Other films mentioned for the restoration are Raw Mash (1978) and Showdown at the Hoedown (1980).
