365 Films
Via the if:book blog: the incredibly cool news that experimental filmmaker Jonas Mekas is planning to make a short video every day for a calendar year, beginning January 1, 2007, with the director stating that "It will be my diary of sorts." The project will be formatted for the video iPod but will be viewable in other formats.
As a fan of Mekas's films, I'm very much looking forward to watching this project unfold. Also worth checking out: Mekas now has a number of his films available online.

Hey Chuck,
I heard about this Mekas project a while back, thanks for the reminder. I am inspired - I am going to try a similar thing - mostly video blog entries as opposed to proper short films, one a day, taking my blogging to the video dimension, we'll see if I can pull it off - 1 video post a day for all of '07, 365 total (maybe we'll get you in a couple), here's my post about it at my blog:

Sujewa, thanks for the tip on your 2007 project. I've been out of the loop this semester because of the move, but this sounds really cool. Hopefully I'll find my way up to DC once or twice (probably for Silverdocs).

Saw the clip, and I'll try to remember to link to it later.
If I'm in DC anytime soon, it will be for Silverdocs over the summer.
