[5 mins. 45 secs.] A dialogue about cinema’s legacy and its best directors from three of the best long-form film critics out there: Armond White, Godfrey Cheshire &amp; Matt Zoller Seitz (the latter two returning to the podcast) are the guests. Seven Stories Press has released a compilation of criticism from their years at the iconic alternative newsweekly called “The Press Gang: Writings on Cinema from New York Press, 1991-2011“.  Purchase the book here: https://amzn.to/2FeJUkW Godfrey Cheshire is a not infrequent guest on this podcast. A North Carolina native, I first met Godfrey back in 2012 when after seeing the documentary feature he directed, “Moving Midway”, I asked him to screen it with me for my film series in Brooklyn. Godfrey wrote for the New York Press from 1991-2000 but has contributed film criticism and editorial to the New York Times, The Village Voice, Interview, Film Comment and others. He was also a founder of the Rakeigh-based Spectator Magazine. He is currently a major contributor to RogerEbtert.com and lives in NYC. Detroit-native Armond White’s passion for writing journalism began in highschool. He holds an MFA in film from Columbia (did you stay in NYC since then?); he is a member of the National Society of Film Critics and New York Film Critics Online and has authored 4 books. He was working as the arts editor at the City Sun when in 1997 Godfrey recommended him to the New York press for film critic position where he remained and built a reputation as a leading film critic until the newsweekly shuttered in 2011; he then moved on to become the editor of City Arts Magazine. White is currently a popular culture contributor to both the National Review and Out. Matt Zoller Seitz makes his second appearance on the podcast He is currently a TV critic for New York Magazine &amp; Vulture as well as editor at large at RogerEbert.com. A Dallas native, Seitz somehow also manages to publish on a regular basis including most notably books on Wes Anderson and Oliver Stone. In 2005, Seitz directed the film HOME. His tenure at the New York Press was from 1995-2006. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter &amp; Instagram. The podcast is also available on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, Google Play &amp; Youtube.

Ep 634: The Press Gang with Godfrey Cheshire, Matt Zoller Seitz & Armond White

Godfrey Chesire has seen it all. From his early experiences with the Westerns of John Ford, to his experience of the 1970s films while abroad in Europe, to the discovery of Chinese and Iranian cinema in the 1990s, Cheshire has remained an essential voice about how to talk and think about cinema in an honest and humanizing way. So Peter is quite excited to take him back through a whirlwind tour of his career, from the alt-weeky The Spectator to the heyday of the New York Press, and through his experiences with Edward Yang and writing about the emergence of digital cinema. The two also discuss his documentary Moving Midway, a film that battles his own personal history and cultural history of the plantation, and end their discussion with Abbas Kiarostami's all-too-fascinating text Close-Up, which they easily declare the Citizen Kane of Iranian film. 0:00-1:27 Opening1:27-4:47 Establishing Shots - Portrait of Jason Kickstarter 5:02-1:01:57 Deep Focus - Godfrey Cheshire 1:03:08-1:30:09 Double Exposure - Close-Up (Abbas Kiarostami) 1:30:11-1:31:50 Close
