Open the documentary assortment box, here's what comes out today...

The often-forgotten Riverside Studios has a rare screening of Orson Welles' F is for Fake tomorrow (Tuesday) night - if you don't know of it, it really is quite loopy. It's sort of about authenticity in cinema, but it's also about Welles thinking he's something of a maverick film deity (which in some ways he is but that's really not the point here) and wanting to share his super wisdom with us. It's sort of documentary, it's sort of a whole load more of an unclassifiable glorious insanity. It's being organised by the grand Dochouse organisation and you can book here. I challenge you not to feel pretty unsettled by it.

Next news is a DVD release for another loopy film, The London Nobody Knows, which used to be very obscure and is now a cult hipster documentary of choice. Directed by Norman Cohen, it features James Mason (yes really James Mason!) promenading through dirty 60s London and correctly predicting the demise of the mystery along with the grime as the final phase of post-war rebuilding was kicking into gear. Jugglers, tramps, bombsites, toilets and umbrellas all feature. If Patrick Keiller hadn't seen it when he made London, he was definitely tapping into the same cosmic forces. It's a brilliant documentary lost classic, no longer lost.

A call for entries now - to the world's best feminist art happening, Ladyfest, which returns to London this year. The Ladyfesters want to see your films - the films should appeal to the ladyfest ethos/audiences and they aim to mostly show films by female directors/writers. Male filmmakers can be considered though where the subject matter is important to feminist/queer/female audiences. More info by emailing ladyfestlondonfilms@gmail.com

Finally, the C4 Jarman Award shortlist is out. I heartily approve of all four, who are suitably idiosyncratic artists careering across all art forms, including films, and I am of course specially pleased to see Andrew Kotting on there - go here for some of my gushing about him. By the way, remember to go to the Jarman exhibition - I went on Saturday and it's awe-inspiring!
