Hi

I use Safari, and while it does most things a browser should do, it renders .mp4 files horribly. Problem is that a ".txt" extension is appended to the mp4 file, so Safari renders us a text version of the mp4. Mostly, that isn't what the author intended.

There is something to be done about it, but that something is to be done by the author on the website. It implies adding a so-called ".htaccess" file (note the dot preceding the file name) to the root of the site. Or editing the file if it already exists.

.htaccess is a text file. It should contain the following:

AddType audio/mpeg mp3
AddType audio/mp4 mp4

Might be common knowledge, but I thought I might share this just in case.

Droste and Berber in rehearsal
never before released footage from the original

with new tabla accompaniment especially commissioned
by the hairs of Droste and Berber
cut off from the bodies of Droste and Berber
as well as accompanying avatars created from cloth
and wire
held in suspension creating a perfect framework
for this first time and perhaps only this time
a framework where Berber first sadly languished
then rose to the occasion of Droste's bizarre
accompaniment
this silent film direct from the Weimar era
salvaged from numerous bunkers of works of tired
cinema
lay sadly in shadows where reels of film were found
presented now almost in their pristine original
condition

the hairs of Droste and Berber were tangled sadly
among the reels where memories of Droste and Berber
languished among the clubs of old Berlin
