Update: rethinkcommunciations.com and Giant Ant Media have been slaving late nights on an experimental motion piece using a money counter… and a lot of printed paper bills! The animation is for the upcoming international conference in Vancouver ~ Design Currency 2010. Rethink designed actual 100 D (Design Dollar) bills, Giant Ant Media animated it coming […]
I found this quite inspiring; the teaser trailer for Press Pause Play, the first film to capture an emerging generation of global creators and artists … the teachers aren’t certified schools anymore – it’s web sites, discussion forums and a “learn by doing”-mentality … Collaboration over hierarchy, digital over analog – a change in the […]
If you haven’t seen Where the Wild Things Are (we haven’t), then pick up the new issue of Interview Magazine to see some super duper sweeeeeeeeeet photos from our neighbor, Ari Marcopoulos. He flew to the land of OZ to shoot some photos of Spike, and some monsters, while on the set of one of the most hyped movies of all time. Not sure if James Gandolfini was hiding in the monster costume or what the deal was but you can check it out HERE.
Life ain’t bad these days when you’re Spike Jonze, the mayor of Awesome Town. Especially when the MoMA decides to do a retrospective, figuratively titled Spike Jonze: The First 80 Years. In time for his latest cinematic release on the 16th, the two week jaunt at the museum celebrates his comprehensive work in all of it’s glory. From cross-dressing with a bunch of skating jackasses to existential musings with Malcovich, appreciate the man’s game in the last week of his love fest in the Filmmaker In Focus series.
Bell’idea quella di pubblicare un montaggio video che raggruppa i film più conosciuti con effetti speciali degli ultimi 100 anni.
Si parte del 1900 con The Enchanted Drawing fino ad arrivare al 2008 con Il curioso caso di Benjamin Button.
Il video pubblicato sul sito College Humor è interessante e divertente. Chissà quanto ci evolveremo ancora…
Tra l’elenco dei film menzionati ne mancano sicuramente alcuni, io avrei inserito Il Signore degli Anelli, Harry Potter e 300, voi?

Notoriously banned documentary, Cocksucker Blues, is available to be streamed in 9 parts on the web for what we’re sure will be a very limited time. We have no idea if it’s good, bad, whatever (hardly anyone has ever seen it fully) but we DO know it’s really hard to find. According to legend: Really massive epoch defining rock band- the Rolling Stones- thinks it’s a good idea to have a camera follow them around while touring for their most challenging, drug-addled record to-date until they see what’s on the film and then they ban it. Time heals all wounds so maybe everyone will be stoked for Cocksucker Blues to see the light of day but you never know, so run over HERE and watch that shit before it evaporates into thin air.

Germany in the 1970s: Murderous bomb attacks, the threat of terrorism and the fear of the enemy inside are rocking the very foundations of the still fragile German democracy. The radicalized children of the Nazi generation led by Andreas Baader (Moritz Bleibtreu), Ulrike Meinhof (Martina Gedeck) and Gudrun Ensslin (Johanna Wokalek) are fighting a violent war against what they perceive as the new face of fascism: American imperialism supported by the German establishment, many of whom have a Nazi past. Their aim is to create a more human society but by employing inhuman means they not only spread terror and bloodshed, they also lose their own humanity. The man who understands them is also their hunter: the head of the German police force Horst Herold (Bruno Ganz). And while he succeeds in his relentless pursuit of the young terrorists, he knows hes only dealing with the tip of the iceberg.
Danilo Parra is a photographer, filmmaker, and artist who lives, breathes, and sleeps in Brooklyn, NY.

Check out a selection of his work after the jump.
