Dancing Pigeons

Published on July 27, 2010, in Art Direction, Film and Music. Closed

This is the latest music video from the Dancing Pigeons, directed by Tomas Mankovsky. Born in Poland in 1979, he moved to Sweden at the age of one and grew up drawing crazy inventions and dreaming up wildcat schemes. When he got older he started working at Ogilvy in Stockholm before attending Beckmans College of Advertising.

Signed to Blink in 2009 Tomas has created a stunningly visual short “Sorry I’m Late” to follow up his heart-wrenching self-produced short “Little Big Love”. Still pushing brain-boundaries at all times Tomas spends his spare time writing film scripts, launching a range of Tetris-shaped bathroom tiles and inventing things, most recently a domino that generates sound.

Joie De Vivre

Published on July 26, 2010, in Fashion and Film. Closed

Stunning little piece called ‘Joie De Vivre’, by Ruth Hogben and via Showstudio, detailing Gareth Pugh‘s A/W 2010 collection, encapsulated in a super stylized ‘Art Deco fantasy projected at breakneck speed into the twenty-first century’, featuring music by Lukid via one of my favorite labels, Werkdiscs. Watch the film here (NSFW)

Notre Jour Viendra

Published on July 22, 2010, in Film. Closed


Romain Gavras, the director of music videos for M.I.A and Justice, has just released the trailer for his first feature film titled Notre Jour Viendra. Always a slight sense of anarchy in his work. Looks promising (NSFW) and the films poster is also quite special.

You may know be familiar with photographer Shaun Bloodworth through his work with Human Resources favourite and regular cohort Give Up Art, and last week Shaun released the short film ‘Minds Locked Together’ exploring the Electronic music scene in Sheffield. Filmed over a loose two month period, taking in venues from around Sheffield , from organised club nights to underground raves, it features everyone from performers and promoters to the passionate, committed paying audience.

Minds locked Together is a look into the passion and love of club nights and electronic music that is going on not only in Sheffield, but all around the globe. With a style of filming that is very close to Shaun’s still work, be sure to check the 15 short on Shaun’s site here.

Eyjafjallajökull

Published on June 1, 2010, in Film, Technology and Video. Closed

Sean Stiegemeier got fed up with all the mediocre pictures of that volcano in Iceland nobody can pronounce the name of, so he figured he should go and do better, and boy, he certainly did. This is what he managed to record in around a day and a half.

Up There

Published on June 1, 2010, in Film, Illustration and Video. Closed

Shot high above the streets of New York City, ‘Up There’ is a short film directed by Malcolm Murray and conceptulised by Mother NY. The film reveals the dying craft of large-scale hand painted advertising and the untold story of the painters trying to keep it alive. Capturing a trade that is equal parts artistic tradition and gruelling labour, the film presents a painting tradition pre-dating modern advertising. A craft that today finds itself dangling precariously on the brink of extinction.

Sonic Acts ‘The Poetics of Space‘ is an annual event entirely dedicated to the exploration of space in performative and audiovisual art, film, music and architecture. It examines the importance of physical space in times of far-reaching technological developments, and the physical and psychological impact of spatial designs.

The exciting programme of events is running in Amsterdam from 25th – 28th February. The four densely filled days and nights will provide an extensive overview of recent works and experiments – spatial audio compositions, audiovisual installations and performances – and includes relevant historical examples and utopian ideals and dreams from the twentieth century.

Synesthesia

Published on June 28, 2009, in Film, Motion and Other. Closed

The latest short film by Terri Timely explores Synesthesia; a neurologically based phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. A very visually interesting and surreal work.

What’s In The Box

There has always been a great mystery surrounding what is in the box.

Ian Curtis

Published on May 18, 2009, in Film and Music. Closed

On this day 29 years ago, John Peel announced  “Ian Curtis, of Joy Division, has just died.”

In that same week Joy Division’s most celebrated single, Love Will Tear Us Apart Again was due to be released on the album Unknown Pleasures, which is one of my top 5 albums. All this happened before my time I can see just what a huge lost and an awesome inspiration Curtis was and still is. The extremely powerful film, Control by Anton Corbijn, follows Curtis from his school days until his final days, is well worth a look. Corbijn was also responsible for most of the early photographs of Curtis and his band.
