Running a small business in this economic climate

After a two month unplanned hiatus, Like Anna Karina's Sweater is back, and with a new look to boot. It was never my intention to stay away for so long, but matters both personal and professional consumed nearly all of my waking hours. Running a small business in this economic climate, and specifically a DVD business -- well, let's just say that the money isn't pouring in. Still, there are some very exciting developments with Benten/Watchmaker that will be announced in the coming weeks. 
As a means of celebrating the blog's revival, I thought I'd offer a gift to all of you -- an unofficial (and unauthorized) soundtrack to the 2009 New York Film Festival, which is currently in its waning days. I'll have much more to say about the festival in future posts, which was quite a mixed bag this year, but not without a few genuine surprises (Hadewijch) as well as the inevitable "how-did-this-wind-up-here?" bombs (Precious: Based On The Novel Push By Sapphire).
Putting together the following compilation was a labor of love, and I spent what can only be described as an unhealthy amount of time tracking some of them down.
