Alice in Wonderland 1903

Monday, March 8th, 2010

A silent film directed by Cecil Hepworth and Percy Stow and the first movie adaption based on Lewis Carroll’s book. Only one copy of the original film exists to date, and parts of it are lost. The British Film Institute has partially managed to restore the movie and its original colours. To actually imagine the use of special effects and vanguard techniques over 100 years old is incredible. This is truly a 9 minute wonder!

Boys Club at D/L

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

DOPOLAVORO GOLAB & ERA STUDIO present BOYS CLUB, curated by Martin Butler and Giorgio Bartoli. The exhibition “Boys Club” is a group exhibition combining video, photography, fashion and performance that takes  a fresh view on the portrayal of the adolescent male in contemporary society. The Dutch photographers Joost Vandebrug and  Bart Julius Peters,  the Canadian artist  Kyle Tryhorn, the young French photographer Florent Routoulp / Chocolat_Poire and Korean fashion designer Hyun Yeu, represent several generations from three continents that all share  elements of this fascination within their work.
Some times nostalgic, sometimes romantic, sometimes explicit,  sometimes dealing with the reality of the struggle of  redefining identity during the transition from boyhood to manhood,  but always engaging. “Boys Club” is an homage to  that  fleeting moment of  the blossoming, the blossoming that exists for the shortest time…

“Uncage the colours
Unfurl the flag
Luck just kissed you hello
When you’re a boy
Boys keep swinging
Boys always work it out”

David Bowie


The Skin Project

Immagine 1

A story published on the skin of 2095 volunteers. By Shelley Jackson.

“Each participant must agree to have one word of the story tattooed upon his or her body. The text will be published nowhere else, and the author will not permit it to be summarized, quoted, described, set to music, or adapted for film, theater, television or any other medium. The full text will be known only to participants, who may, but need not choose to establish communication with one another. In the event that insufficiant participants come forward to complete the first and only edition of the story, the incomplete version will be considered definitive.”

Drinking & Drawing #7

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Drinking and Drawing High Quality from fredseibert on Vimeo.

Animators + Animations = Drawing Jam Session, that’s what this is all about. A group of 10 animators is called up to the drawing area. Each animator receives 8 blank note cards, as well as the last card from the animator that drew before them. They have exactly 10 minutes (that’s 75 seconds a card) to continue the animation on each card. At the end of the night you have a short film created by dozens of animators! Above: the Bikini Zombies Drinking & Drawing episode produced by Frederator Studios.
