Laurel Halo has announced a new album called Atlas, as well as a run of 2023 tour dates. The record is out September 22nd, and lead single “Belleville” is available to stream below.
Halo began writing Atlas on the piano before she took up a residency at Ina-grm Studios in Paris, where she transformed her initial compositions into the type of experimental music she’s known for. In addition to laying down guitar, violin, and vibraphone, Bendik Giske provided saxophone, Lucy Railton played cello, and James Underwood and Coby Sey contributed additional violin and vocals, respectively. The album will be the debut release on Halo’s new label Awe; pre-orders are ongoing.
Kicking off later this month and extending until November, Halo’s 2023 tour of Europe and North America includes both DJ sets and performances specifically tied to Atlas. See her full itinerary below, and grab tickets via Ticketmaster.

Why Watch? To celebrate The ABCs of Death 2‘s search for the second 26th director, we’re posting 13 contest entries for 13 days. All of which start with M is for. Today’s is Motivation from Rob Schroeder. I have no idea what to make of this one, and I love it for that. Part blues riff, part crack pipe dream, part starry-eyed revenge fantasy, it’s like Prince and Tarantino had a baby, the baby drank a bottle of absinthe and then this video nasty popped fully formed out of its head. It’s completely intoxicating from beat one. Pure brain syrup. But be warned: if you click through to see it, expect a pair of breasts in your face immediately. On screen at least. And, yes, that makes this short film both Wtf and Nsfw. Enjoy. What Will It Cost? Around 3 minutes Vote for M is for Motivation here. A...

Kino Lorber has acquired all U.S. rights to the documentary “Meet The Fokkens” from filmmakers Gabrielle Provaas and Rob Schröder. The film will next screen Stateside at the SilverDocs Film Festival in June, followed by a premiere at Film Forum August 8 and a limited theatrical release in the fall. “Fokkens” explores the unique lives of twin 69-year-old Dutch sisters Louise and Martine Fokkens, who have worked as prostitutes in Amsterdam for more than 40 years, starting their own brothel and an informal trade union along the way. "When I saw Louise and Martine on the big screen, I was charmed by their stories, their wry humor and their spirit," said Kino Lorber exec Elizabeth Sheldon, who negotiated the deal with Autlook Films CEO Peter Jager. “‘Meet the Fokkens’ is an important addition to our collection of films that openly explore sexuality and never more uniquely than with this witty tribute to twin pioneers of the.

Meet the Fokkens
Written by Gabrielle Provaas and Rob Schröder
Directed by Gabrielle Provaas
Netherlands, 2011
There is a long tradition in documentary film of personalizing unusual individuals. In fact the entire genre of first-person narrative documentary has largely revolved around finding people and stories that are unusual, even openly odd, and seeking to provide the viewer with some insight into their character and behavior. Another genre, what I like to call Freakumentaries, finds weird people and exploits them for the entertainment of their audience, providing little else beyond voyeurism. In describing Meet the Fokkens, a film about two elderly twin prostitutes who are retiring from the Red Light district in Amsterdam, one would be excused for expecting the latter, especially given the terrible (English) title. However the film is actually an excellent, if unusually executed, example of the introspective power of narrative documentary film to personalize a subject and engage an audience.
