Eden, the film
At last year’s Toronto International Film Festival Sarah spoke to director Mia Hansen-Løve about her film exploring the French house music scene of the ’90s, Eden.
The film, which roughly follows the adventures of her brother/DJ Sven Hansen-Løve, also features some amusing misadventures about Daft Punk.
With the film set for release in America Sarah interviewed Mia Hansen-Løve for Consequence Of Sound.

True Detective
The folks at the Toronto International Film Festival have decided to include television shows in the festival this year under the banner Primetime.
TV, apparently, has gotten so good (in the good parts, anyway) that it deserves to be treated with the same respect as film.
Sarah wrote about this phenomenon in a new column for Consequence Of Sound.

Losing Isaiah
It’s been 20 years since the white-woman-adopts-black-baby pearl-clutcher film Losing Isaiah.
The cultural politics at work in the movie — and their uncomfortable reflection in the film industry — are still being reflected in what we see two decades later.
Sarah wrote about this white savior trope in an essay for Consequence Of Sound.

The DeFranco Family
What happens when the kids you know from next door become super-famous pop stars?
To start, your aunt steals their rulers from class.
At least that’s what happened with Sarah’s aunt when the improbable five-piece The DeFranco Family became pop royalty for a couple years in the early-1970s.
Sarah dug deep into how the band’s success — there was a point when only the Jacksons and Osmonds were bigger than them — affected a small town like Welland, Ontario.
