Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One (directed by William Greaves, 1968) This film really blew my mind, being a sort of meta-behind the scenes documentary (or whatever). There are three separate film crews: the first one is shooting a screen test for a sordid psychodrama-cum-soap opera type of film, called "Over the Cliff". They, in their turn, are filmed by the second crew, supposedly for a behind-the-scenes documentary. Then there's the third crew, shooting both the crews 1 & 2 and everything else that is happening on location. Perhaps it's a human experiment made up by William Greaves (1926 - 2014), playing the role of an incompetent director and bad screenwriter to get reactions from his actors and crew and thus setting in motion the whole creative impetus for this reality-TV before reality-TV work (or cinéma vérité as they used to call it). As an amateur/student filmmaker I could really relate to the situations and the interpersonal friction here. S...

MRS TABE SLIOOR TELLS ABOUT SATAN AND THE ARCH DEVIL CALLED ANTON LAVEY THE DISGUSTING CEREMONIES OF THE CHURCH OF SATAN [Suomeksi] Tabe Slioor (21 November, 1926 – 25 April, 2006) was in her time a famous Finnish celebrity, socialite, journalist and fashion model. She was avidly followed by media after her notorious affairs with some famous men in high positions, such as Erik von Frenckell, the honorary mayor of Helsinki. Tabe Slioor was of Persian descent and claimed her father had been a prince even though the truth was something far more modest. While living in San Francisco, she wrote a series of profiles of American public figures for the men's magazine Jallu (which, compared to the magazine's later reputation, was still quite chaste at this point, focusing mainly on pin-ups and bikini photos). Jallu had also been the magazine to publish Tabe's controversial memoir in the early 1960s. Tabe's Stateside interviewees included Ronald Reagan, Spiro Agne...

RVA TABE SLIOOR KERTOO PAHOLAISESTA JA PÄÄPIRUSTA ANTON LA VEYSTÄ PAHOLAISEN SEURAKUNNAN ILJETTÄVÄT JUHLAMENOT [In English] Tabe Slioor (21. marraskuuta 1926 - 25 huhtikuuta 2006) oli oman aikansa suomalainen kohujulkkis, seurapiirihahmo, toimittaja ja muotimalli. Media seurasi innokkaasti Tabea, joka oli ollut salasuhteessa sellaisten korkea-arvoisten miesten kuten Helsingin kaupunginjohtaja Erik von Frenckellin kanssa. Tabe Slioor oli persialaista syntyperää ja väitti isänsä olleen ruhtinas, vaikka todellisuus olikin paljon vaatimattomampi. Asuessaan San Franciscossa hän kirjoitti sarjan profiileja amerikkalaisista julkisuuden hahmoista miestenlehti Jallulle (joka lehden myöhempään maineeseen verrattuna oli tässä vaiheessa vielä varsin siveä, lähinnä pinup- ja bikinikuviin keskittyvä julkaisu). Jallu oli myös julkaissut Taben kohutut muistelmat 1960-luvun alussa. Taben haastateltaviin kuuluivat mm. Ronald Reagan, Spiro Agnew, Bing Crosby, Harry Belafonte ja tässä jutus...
