This is a list I started last year to try and track some necessary viewing. It will serve as an unofficial checklist for my BAM Awards. I will not hold up the awards in anticipation of seeing these films. A deadline is a deadline. It will help me either define Gray Area films or keep an eye out for undistributed titles. Secondly, this will serve as a back-up to my watchlist on GoWatchIt, which is a great site to get notifications about film releases. I anticipate I’ll update this monthly as I do with films watched and older film posts.

The Carry-Over Titles

Some titles did not see, or get adequate distribution last year, and some I have my eye on early; therefore, they make a return appearance.

1. The Dirties

Heard it was picked up by Phase 4.

2. Faust

Heard of Sokurov’s version last year. Currently at Film Forum in NY.

3. Tragedy of Man

I know this hit an New York screen while I was not there. Haven’t heard about it being on video.

The following films are those which are on my GoWatchIt queue as of today (5/15/13):

4. Me and You
5. Reality
6. Good For Nothing
7. Just the Wind
8. Thursday Through Sunday
