NEW YORK OUR TIME. When Irish film artist Vivienne Dick arrived in New York’s run-down Lower East Side in the late 1970s, she was deeply inspired by the vibrant community of avant-garde musicians, filmmakers and artists who lived there. In this, her much anticipated first feature film, Dick revisits old haunts and reconnects with a number of friends (among them Cynthia Sley, Nan Goldin and Lydia Lunch), many of whom still manage to work as artists in the city, despite sky-high rents and gentrification. Dick’s own previously-unseen Super 8 captures the gritty, post-punk era while the intimate present-day sequences (filmed by cinematographer Declan Quinn) celebrate the importance of friendship, particularly women’s friendship, community and memory.

Very sad today to hear of the passing of John Perry Barlow. Remembering our legendary weekend in Dublin back in 2001 when myself and Caroline Campbell invited him as guest to talk at the Darklight Festival. where he charmed and regaled us all. Our lasting regret is that we were too square to take him up on his offer to take a trip with him into the Wicklow hills. The genuine grateful dead tabs are still in the fridge. Maybe one day. Souvenirs of a great and generous man - and a life well lived. Until next time round Barlow RIP
