The Noteworthy: 29 April 2015

• When Manoel de Oliveira died earlier this month, word spread that he had made a film that would be released only upon his death, Memories and Confessions. Now word has come that its premiere screening will be on the 4th of May in Porto.

• Above: We're on the fence whether we should be excited for this, but the trailer for M. Night Shyamalan's The Visit certainly has us intrigued.

• New York's essential film listing site Screen Slate has turned to Kickstarter to help fund its project.

• In his latest "Kaiju Shakedown" column for Film Comment, Grady Hendrix brings necessary attention to Hong Kong dirt-maestro Kuei Chih-hung, whose The Delinquent is pictured above:

"A pissed-off perfectionist with proletarian sensibilities, he directed groundbreaking, realistic crime flicks and some of the filthiest horror movies ever to leave a slime trail across the silver screen."

• A new issue of The Seventh Art is out, and includes interviews with Matthew Porterfield and the Safdie brothers, a video essay dedicated to Ann Hui, and more.
