Mark Romanek, Jonathan Glazer, Anton Corbijn and Stephane Sednaoui will all be in attendance at a Film Comment Selects event moderated by Michel Gondry and observing the release of the four new Directors Label DVDs collecting their music video, commercial, and short-film work. The blessed event occurs on Tuesday, Sept. 13, and tickets ($15/$12 for Film Society of Lincoln Center members) should be available real soon now. I'm assuming the projection will take place from DVD, although it would be great to see some higher-quality sources. (I know the Beastie Boys have lately been finishing videos in high-definition, but I wonder how many older clips actually exist in anything better than NTSC or PAL resolution.)

Anyone remember the article in Film Comment some years back accusing Romanek of outright thievery for lifting ideas and images from famous painters, photographers and other artists in his videos? Guess there's no hard feelings.
