I genuinely feel like I’ve found PINNLAND EMPIRE’s long lost spiritual sibling (or maybe a first cousin) in the form of This Long Century (
thislongcentury.com) – a collection of personal memoirs shared by various artists, musicians, writers & filmmakers in their own words and/or images. Among the many talented people to contribute to the site are PINNLAND EMPIRE favorite’s like;
Lodge Kerrigan,
Apichatpong Weerasethakul,
Kelly Reichardt &
Rick Alverson. What are the odds that another site would feature a similar collection of the same random filmmakers that I love and regularly write about?

Outside of cinema, This Long Century also features personal images & memoirs from quite a few of my favorite musicians like Mike Watt & Alan Vega (Suicide)…
