documentaries galore!

First, congratulations to Full Frame Documentary Film Festival for getting a nod in the 50 noteworthy film festivals, with the ranks of Sundance, Outfest, Cannes, and Berlin. We love you, FF!

Second, a short documentary about the dying art of billboard/sign painting. Absolutely stunning. Link via OK Great.

Finally, part one of an eight-part opus to Detroit's decay. I've never been, but I have a mixture of sadness at how things have turned out for Detroit and deep love for the concentration of abandoned buildings.
