There is a famous, prolonged heist sequence at the centre of Jean-Pierre Melville’s Le Cercle Rouge (1970) – but not at the centre of our audiovisual essay. We seek to show how, beyond the film’s strict plot lines, Melville creates a network of magnetic attractions and contrasting parallelisms between particular characters – a chain of charged exchanges and fateful omens travelling across scenes. Only once the story is completely over can we fully grasp the intricacies and resonances of the film’s network – its “abstract set theory”, to borrow from a book title glimpsed in another Melville masterwork, Army of Shadows (1969). © Cristina Álvarez López & Adrian Martin, March 2018

I talked to Aardman for this story at VFX Voice about their newest stop motion effort, Early Man. Some really nice behind the scenes pics here.

The annual Downtown Burbank Arts Festival presented by Downtown Burbank Partnership, West Coast Artists, and the Creative Talent Network will house more than 200 award-winning artists and 20,000 patrons from around the country, on 14-15 April, 2018. This festival is free and open to the public.

Currently in its 15th year, Downtown Burbank Arts Festival uniquely blends talented digital and special effects animators with traditional handmade art forms for a ‘one-of-a-kind’ street festival experience. This four-block show will unite art-for-sale with numerous participatory events such as a Teen Art Challenge, Book signings by Disney animators, Doodle Run, and Sketch Fever at the Creative Talent Network (CTN) Road Trip by bringing a majority of animators, visual effects and video game artists (from Angeleno Avenue to Orange Grove Avenue on San Fernando Boulevard) on the same platform.

 “Burbank is an essential hub for those interested in animation and meeting world-famous influential animators. In that light, the Downtown Burbank Arts Festival offers an incomparable opportunity for professional animators to display their personal work, and for fans and the general public to meet them, receive personalized drawings, and purchase their creations,” stated CTN founder and CTN Road Trip producer Tina Price.

 The traditional handmade art forms will fill the remaining two blocks of the festival from Orange Grove Avenue to Magnolia Boulevard. Curated by West Coast Artists, this area will include surreal fantasy and retro-futuristic styles that appeals to millennial audiences with an emphasis on “green” artwork incorporating and repurposed materials in their work.

Art activities on these blocks will find acrylic works, collage, etchings, mixed-media, oils, pencil, water colours, photography, decorative pottery, raku ware, sculpture in a variety of media such as bronze, blown glass, metal, stone and wood, weavings, and artisanal jewellery.

 This two-day outdoor street festival will also feature live music, chalk artists illustrating city sidewalks, a paint-your-own-scarf event, and the opportunity to explore Downtown Burbank’s new street murals.

An avalanche of fan theories and speculations are triggered every time a new Marvel movie trailer is launched. Especially if the trailer belongs to the upcoming epic Avengers: Infinity War.

As the MCU looks to put the kibosh to its fourth phase in a colossal encounter that pits the earth’s mightiest heroes against Thanos, there are premonitions of a few of them even biting the dust, and that’s only the tip of the iceberg; for Infinity War has a lot in store to satiate the endless murmurs about it.

And to prevent any leaks or spoilers from being floated around prior to its release, director duo Joe and Anthony Russo have a special message to its fans and especially the press, who are the primary sources of reveals through its reviews.

In what’s a humble request against the same on a sheet that’s signed by them and held by the Infinity Gauntlet glove of the Mad Titan, ends with chilling words of a hashtag: Thanos Demands Your Silence.

Here’s the message in full:

“To the greatest fans in the world.

We’re about to embark on the Avengers: Infinity War press tour. We will be visiting fans all over the world screening only a limited amount of selected footage from the film in order to avoid spoiling the story for future viewers.

We will not screen the film in its entirety until the Los Angeles premiere shortly before the film’s global release. Everyone involved with the film has worked incredibly hard for the past two years maintaining the highest level of secrecy. Only a handful of people know the film’s true plot.

We’re asking that when you see Infinity War, in the coming months, that you maintain the same level of secrecy so that all fans can have an equal experience when they watch it for the first time. Don’t spoil it for others, the same way you wouldn’t want it spoiled for you.

Good luck and happy viewing.

The Russo Brothers

#ThanosDemandsYour Silence”

What one can deduce is the international press would get to witness the action in the special screenings, but with all the major scenes removed, it leaves a cliffhanger of sorts that can only be sorted once it gets the box-office green signal on 27 April 2018. The Los Angeles premier of the movie would happen on Monday, 23 April 2018.
