...became pretty frustrated with the way that the film community seemed to be pursuing aesthetic goals that had been already explored… It seemed relevant to carry the formal aims of structuralism to its logical conclusion.”The films of Conrad and Losier certainly draw together elements that probably wouldn’t be paired up otherwise. “DreaMinimalist” (2008), for example, features a scene in which Conrad dons a dress, with a flower vase as a backdrop, while visiting the late filmmaker Jack Smith.

...every day at 1 p.m., a time when the Yard is bustling with students. From the time of its earliest recitation, the adhan has asked Muslims to leave behind everything and hasten to prayer, so that they may join their companions in worship. The adhan then symbolizes an integral element of the Islamic lifestyle, and to study Islamic theology and practice without recourse to this recitation is to do injustice to the faith. It is unfair to view this expression of religious belief as an act of proselytization. The aim of the Harvard Islamic Society in pursuing this tradition...
