welive100inpublic.jpg"We Live In Public"  throws a lot of information - in both senses - at the viewer over the course of 90 minutes; and Robert Hunt suspects that the sheer overload of content is one of the points that director Ondi Timoner is trying to illustrate in her cautionary/celebratory tale of the internet boom of the late '90s.

We all have our images, impressions of downtown, which makes it all the more interesting to see what catches an artist's eye as he walks around from the river past Union Station.

About the Lens

Cinema St. Louis' The Lens is a multi-contributor blog aimed primarily - but by no means exclusively - at local cinephiles. The Lens will have a specifically St. Louis perspective when relevant - and will preview Cinema St. Louis events - but because film encompasses the world, the blog will offer material on every aspect of movie culture, with no ties to a particular place. Lens contributors - critics, academics, journalists, novelists, poets, essayists and filmmakers - will write, at any length and in any form, about all film-related topics, allowing for a wide array of approaches: simple reviews, stray thoughts, essays, reported articles, cartoons, photos, even audio clips and videos.

For a more complete introduction to The Lens, read the inaugural post by Cliff Froehlich.

Barroom Conversations

The St. Louis Beacon sponsors every-other-weekly conversations on race, related to the publication's year-long special coverage of issues and situations involving race in the St. Louis region. The lightly-moderated discussions begin with a specific topic, but like all good conversations, veer off in different and rewarding directions. The Barroom Conversations have been on  summer break, but resume on Monday, September 13 at 7:30 p.m.  at Six Row Brewing Co., 3690 Forest Park Avenue, at Spring. We look forward to seeing regulars and newcomers. Everyone is welcome
