If you can excuse a moment of semi-shameless self-promotion:
I (Alissa, the editor of The Curator), along with five other accomplished film critics and writers, am involved with a new venture called Filmwell, a website interested in cinema off the beaten track and criticism at the margins of the great conversation. We launched today, and below is the press release. Hope you’ll check us out.

Hi,
We are happy to announce the release of Filmwell (www.filmwell.org), a new website that will be updated daily with essays, film and DVD reviews, and news on cinema off the beaten track. Founding Filmwell contributors include widely published authors and critics, as well as film festival programmers and educators. Filmwell content is dictated by the whims of its contributors, who frequent national festivals, scour DVD catalogs and screening schedules, and are otherwise always on the hunt for those films that make this great conversation so worthwhile. Yet another film blog? Maybe. But our collective audiences are hungry for an entry point to thoughtful criticism on films they haven’t heard about yet.
Please put us on your rss feeder for a while. If we aren’t already on your publicity lists, let us know. We look forward to hearing from you if you have any questions.
Kindest Regards,
The Editors and Contributors at Filmwell
