A good friend, who is both a programmer and dancer, sent me this well made french dance film from 1994, Le petit bal perdu. Love the feel of film (and can you spot the matte box?)

The web can be a (as in: one of many) resources for inspiration. One of my favourite sites is BibliOdyssey, which regularly shares its visual bounty from dives into old libraries. With high quality scans and informative text, it shows glimpses of a rich cultural past.
