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…

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…

We're giving you too short notice but there's still just over a week left for you to crawl into Liverpool St tube station (Westbound central line platform) and discover one of the popular CBS advertising space takeovers (remember Smile for London?). The midnight crawlers from Art Below have been taking over public underground spaces for 5 years now and this month they're carrying the art of Nasser Azam not only to Liverpool St Station but also to the Tokyo metro.…
Find out more »Super-Computer-Romantics – Paris
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…

After Paris, Madrid & Berlin is time for the city of lights to host once again that contemporary cinema mish mash called the "Rencontres Internationales" which since 1997 hasn't stopped discovering us some of the best new works in contemporary cinema and arts. The French city will bring that fine selection of works from the thousands of submissions they'll be receiving and for their November edition the call for entries is still open! ("Cirque One" by César Pesquera) Rencontres Internationales…

Machines already talk. That's what M2M technologies are for, and the billions of connected devices in the coming years will only keep increasing with time... our cameras will talk to us, just like our fridges or even our toilets! But for these machines and objects to talk to us in an effective way these have to recode their original language into something understandable by all human beings. Moma's Talk to Me exhibition comes to explore such communication. All objects contain…

Hackney Film Festival
The good thing about London is that there's always something exciting going on. If it's not a cinema competition on racing boats across the city canals is hidden super secret evenings with Eastern Europe's best trapeze artists or high-quality electro squats. The bad thing is that most of these are 1 time only and hardly repeat themselves throughout the months or years. And here comes the second edition of a great initiative:the Hackney Film Festival! Conceived as a platform for local…
