Open City – London
Hey hey! One last contest and one last opportunity to demonstrate your talent before 2010 ends? A 4-day new festival from the hands of Michael Stewart, Andrew Steggall, Olivia Bellas & Jessie Teggin who have quite a few ambitions from the start although not that much budget. An International Documentary Film Festival that won't take place until next summer but they're already open for submissions... from both established and emerging talent. The doc Film Festival will be obviously all about documentaries…

Dock’s Docs
A documentary remix competition? You may know 200 different types, but this is the first time we've personally heard of the "Remix" series. And because it doesn't seem that crazy (and also it's part of the Euroean Culture Congress), oh and because it's a creative contest (one of those with prizes) we thought you could be interested... First, let's give you the contest of why it's called "Dock's Docs", even though you may have already guessed... For those of you…

And after the Barbara Streisand crazy & insanely sticky Duck Sauce song that kept you all dancing last autumn, So-Me (more well known as the director and visual artist for all Ed-Banger records related videos) is back with this "Embody" by Sebastian. Oh and you might be interested to know (if you're that fan of So-Me and live in Canada) that he's exhibiting the very pop portraits he made for his pals @ Ed Banger (and made him world famous)…

Very few directors can prove to have pushed sci-fi cinema, special effects and taboos further away than Kubrick, a genius which was (like most) a polemical & bizarre figure outside his work. It is the first time that La Cinémathèque française hosts a travelling exhibition not initiated by their own teams but by those of another institution. This Kubrick exhibition owes its existence to the Deutsches Filmmuseum in Frankfurt and to Hans-Peter Reichmann, its Curator, who designed it in 2004…

Adventures In Motion 11
A short film festival, another one? Yep, this one is digital though! (so...?). So it's OnedotZero, nothing new about them... more than a decade of pure crazy digital extravaganza! And even if the 2011 edition won't be taking place until next November they first have to select which works they'll be showcasing right? That's why they're now calling for all world digital creatives to submit their works you see.... Over fifteen years the programme has expanded to embrace a wide…

Our stop-motion chef friend Monsieur Dubosc is finally getting his very own solo exhibition... in a real gallery... or at least he's trying to. Taking "food" as a theme (and what has made him famous) Alexandre is willing to find an appropriate venue in Paris to show us all his culinary pieces. "Both "greedy" for the eyes and fun for the mind, I wanted to make this exhibition a moment of humor, reflection and friendship around a common and intimate…

Who needs to pay Frillions to Publicis, WPP or Omnicom when you can have the God of brand refreshment and image "coolization" for a far more affordable price? (ok, this may no longer apply). You all probably remember the summer 2009 MTV relook or last year's AOL crazy logo relaunch... because all brands need some surgery from time to time and if it can make decades-old institutions look as new born stars, even better. Matt Pyke is responsible for these…

Smalls Short Film Fest 2011
Aaaaaaand another short film festival for your collection! (and for you to participate in!): the London Small Short Film Fest 2011 which once again will try to showcase the best film directors, producers, writers and animators... so if you consider yourself one, pay attention.. This year's Call for Entries is now open, and you have 2 & half months (until August 12th) to register & submit your -15min film in two categories: "Best Under 5 Min" and "Best over 5…

Next month starts one of those exhibitions which will delight big & small equally. A dream within a dream taken out of the insomnia and creative seizures that artists like Étienne-Jules Marey or Walt Disney used to suffer. A historical trip through the animation history produced in the last 150 years going from the emergence of the animated image, from early scientific experiments with photography to the latest wonders of computer generated imagery... and all those hairs that Pixar's supercomputers can…

We told you about their contest last year and now we have most details about the upcoming London documentary Festival "Open City" coming up next month. With the ambition to give more visibility to this non-fictional film category Open City is born as a festival to place a purely documentary date in our busy summer calendar. We have set up Open City because we believe there needs to be a place to hear the stories that matter: stories that, all…
