Films by Guy Debord
"Bureau of Public Secrets" <knabb at slip.net>


After being withheld from circulation for 17 years, all six of Guy
Debord's
films were screened at the 2001 Venice Film Festival and it was
announced
that they would all be made generally available again in spring 2002.
The
opening is now scheduled for April 9-11 in Paris.

Ken Knabb has been asked by Alice Debord to make a new English
translation
of Debord's complete filmscripts. This translation will be used for
subtitling, and will also be published in book form. If all goes well it
is
likely that subtitled versions of all the films will be available within
the
next year or so.
