La Furia Umana's first print issue (their 15th online) is now shipping all over the world. Much of the content is available online (excluded are 24 "love letters" from filmmakers to their favorite artists), but we're excited to get our hands on this nearly 300-page tome. Among the table of contents: a handful of pieces on Roberto Rossellini including one by Toshi Fujiwara on Voyage to Italy, Celluloid Liberation Front provides one article among several on Joseph H. Lewis, Emmanuel Herbulot on the intersection between Michelangelo Antonioni and Edward Ruscha, a selection of reviews (which I'm proud to be a part of), and far too much more to mention here. More from Berlin: news of their "Forum Expanded" section, which includes various exhibits by visiting artists, including one by Verena Paravel & Lucien Castaing-Taylor, which leads into our next piece of news... Cinema Scope unveiled their top ten of 2012, topped by Paravel and Castaing-Taylor's Leviathan.

The Vienna Film Festival is underway, and while all of us who are not attending lament not being able to check out Mike Ott's DJ set, we have only the coverage of others to turn to for consolation. Turns out there isn't much of that available either, unless you can read German, so for now check out our coverage here in the Notebook, and hopefully there will be more to share next week. Ti West is prepping his next horror film, The Sacrament,...

Bloomberg A man walks through an area of Fukushima Prefecture on Saturday. Next month, Japan marks the one year anniversary since the earthquake and tsunami.
Though a self-proclaimed “total atheist,” Japanese filmmaker Toshi Fujiwara’s documentary “No Man’s Zone,” now running at the Berlin film festival, plays like a feature-length eulogy to the people and landscape lost since the Daiichi nuclear power plant was built in Fukushima in the early 1970s—and broke down in the earthquake and subsequent...

Long Shadows: The Late Work of Satyajit Ray opens this evening and runs through April 26 at the Film Society of Lincoln Center: "Of special interest is Home and the World [1984; image above], his final, wonderful adaptation of a work by his mentor, Rabindranath Tagore (whose 150th anniversary we celebrate this year), as well as his final, luminous work, The Stranger, an extraordinary summing up of so much of Ray's worldview graced with a sensational lead performance by Utpal Dutt." Plus, "we asked some friends of the Film Society: what film would you recommend seeing, and why?" Meantime, Paul Brunick posts a roundup on Distant Thunder (1973) at Alt Screen.
