Sleep Dealer, which won two awards at the Sundance Film Festival in 2008, will screen tonight in Griffith theater at 7 p.m. Part of the Latin American Film Festival of North Carolina, the science fiction film takes place in a near-future Mexico where people plug in to the Web to work in the US without crossing the border. Director Alex Rivera will hold a Q&A after the screening.
Brooklyn-bred music duo Matt and Kim performed this past Friday at Kville in surprisingly chilly 45 degree weather to a nonetheless enthused Duke crowd. The two, whose song "Daylight" has caught the ears of those people over at Bacardi and many a Duke Tailgate DJ, took some time to chat post-performance. Topics ranged from their recently banned video "5K" to Matt's back brace to their "Lessons Learned" from stripping down in Times Square and to their upcoming tour in Europe. Enjoy:

The Award
"You want to be in the film industry, right?”
Guido Anselmi had bold ambitions. Not necessarily bolder than those of Duke students, most of whom have each half-hour scheduled down to a tee, who have jobs on Wall Street or for the Peace Corps, who champion organizations or win national titles. But his ambitions were a different type of bold. The protagonist of Federico Fellini’s film 8 1/2 desired to create his own film, one that “could help bury forever all the dead things we carry within ourselves.” At Recess, by no means do we attempt such a therapeutic cleansing of the self through our articles, no acts of reverse necromancy through creativity. We have, however, extended ourselves into our reviews, reports, interviews. We’ve left our text in the curling edges of Thursday Chronicles, we’ve burned pixelated imprints into computer screens and onto your eyes, all in the hopes of procuring some sort of effect.
Duke basketball legend, African-American art collector and current NBA star Grant Hill can now add another title to his already impressive resume: documentary film producer.

Who knew sheep could be so fascinating?
With last week’s premiere of the CW’s High Society, New York City and its residents now have to suffer another 30 minutes of reality television ridicule (The City, NYC Prep and Real Housewives of New York were clearly not enough). Watching my hometown depicted as a farce and fellow residents painted as surface-obsessed caricatures only worried about what row they’ll sit in at this year’s Fashion Week, is more than painful. In order to balance out all this hate, my mind turned to what reality shows could be set in Durham.
