Dance  on  the  horizon  As  Boston  Ends  &  Dinmill  Launches

Say a final farewell to Boston, have a sneak peek at the upcoming dance film made with the London Contemporary Dance School and take a look at the Dinmill promo.

MARS-II Article & Interview
      The 38th Boston Science FIction Festival is OVER. 

With the festival battling restrictions caused by the weather storm in Boston, such as road and parking bans, the short films of the festival inevitably migrated to online viewing/voting rather than theatrical. A small material shame but necessary in the situation, which was handled so well by the organisers.

The annual staple of the event, the 24 hour film marathon the 'THON went ahead seemingly as planned with science fiction fans packing into the Somerville Theatre for a stream of classic and cults films.

The votes are currently being counted for the short films and put towards the judge's decisions - who'll hand out awards accordingly very soon. I thought the issues with weather were handled really efficiently and I'm proud that MARS-II was a part of the event. Watch This Space for more festival announcements soon!

Dance    On    The    Horizon

I'm very pleased to release some images to preview my upcoming co-directed short dance film. It has been made with talented performers from the London School of Contemporary Dance, filmed over the past few months and is a piece looking at the relationship between dancers and painters, painting and dance.

After months of explorative workshops that are leading to a large multi-format installation; the film will show scenes devised by Julie Schmidt, the project creator. It has been a challenging and deeply interesting piece of work, evolving constantly, and I can't wait to show the results. We're aiming for it to find a platform at art venues / events looking for fresh work and I am excited at it's prospects. All artists involved, moving and working in front of the camera have been outstanding.

Follow: @dinmill
Dinmill launched this past Thursday with a bang; bringing a unique party to popular East London coffee shop The Shoreditch Grind (@shoreditchgrind). As the cocktails flowed & the snacks disappeared, the guests gained a taste of what Dinmill is all about; a magnum vodka on offer as a prize (courtesy of @chasevodka) & seriously generous goodie bags for all were highlights of a sophisticated & social evening of fun. Despite the chill outside, the atmosphere was warm & buzzing - Dinmill was putting on a shindig like no other. Examples of what you missed out on are below, BUT to make sure you miss nothing from now on - go to WWW.DINMILL.COM to become a part of their network. Add them on Twitter @dinmill or check them out on the 'ole Facebook, where you'll soon find the launch images & further info.

VIBETOWN  LIVE  @  Eiger  Studios

'VIBETOWN Live @ Eiger Studios' comprises of three live music video promos for the band VIBETOWN. They uniquely cover the popular songs 'Forget you' (originally performed by Cee Lo Green), 'Shine' (originally by Booty Luv) and the incomparable rock ballad 'Livin' On A Prayer' (originally performed by Bon Jovi). The first two videos are available to watch HERE & NOW below and I encourage thee to do so!

VIBETOWN are an excellent function band that (knowing their hectic schedule) will be inevitably lighting up a dance-floor near you with the talent and charisma they deliver night in, night out. The videos were filmed in the versatile Eiger Studios (Leeds), the sound mastering by the studio also. I produced, directed, shot and edited the videos; with additional camerawork / lighting / equipment from Justin Litton.

The last video of the set, 'Livin' On A Prayer', is in the very very final stages of post-production and will be released online (and via VHS) in the coming week. I'm finding it a little difficult to place the shot in which the band glide onto the stage harnessed, but I'm sure it'll fit somewhere... enjoy.

I  didn't  think  I  would,  but... TARANTINO  &  JODOROWSKY

DJANGO  UNCHAINED   |   SANTA  SANGRE

For all three of you reading this blog: I'm going to start blogging on new films & DVDs that I want to share with any lovely people who'll read - perhaps they're little gems that I hope (even in a minuscule way) I get more exposed, interesting things to do with cinema/art or a DVD re-release of something special... it'll be anything; the blog may take various forms... like a skrull. Down below, the new trailer for DJANGO UNCHAINED followed by news on the double-disc DVD release of SANTA SANGRE and a little on JODOROWSKY today.

Picture
DJANGO UNCHAINED
A steady rise in "returning" to form after the brilliant INGLORIOUS BASTARDS for Tarantino with DJANGO UNCHAINED? It seems to me his work is looking better and more accomplished than it ever has. Is the once serious future of independent American cinema reaching the height his knowledge and passion can clearly reach? I hope so. This trailer looks like an incredible mix of his usual comic book aesthetics mixed with a gritty multi-tonal western. I really can't wait to check this out. I'm not usually a massive Di Caprio fan but he looks like one sinister interesting villain here.

SANTA SANGRE
If you have never seen an Alejandro Jodorowsky film or heard of the Chilean-born filmmaker, you really need to see some of his works - if only so you can simply acknowledge a director who baffles and creates with such incredible scope within his craziness that he outdoes any other filmmaker in that department hands down. I start to wonder how someone could imagine such imagery or articulate such incredible sights of seldom beauty, colour, blood and... well, you have to see these things for yourself.

Mr BONGO, a little known but very good niche Music/DVD distributor is re-releasing SANTA SANGRE, an odyssey like no other, as a double disc DVD and single disc Blu-Ray. Some of Mr BONGO's recent acquisitions have been the epic Antonioni documentary on China (originally banned by the country) and Wojciech Has' remastered THE HOURGLASS SANATORIUM, a time-bending journey through a man's memories as his Father lays ill in a sanatorium that has no regard for normal reality. SANTA SANGRE is a less seen (quite rare and pricey) film and a well-deserved release with care and attention towards it. For a reason unknown to me, his films are often very hard to get hold of on region 2, so this is a great event for fans he's accumulated and the new ones that'll discover this gem.

Notable works from a short but strong filmography are such as; the brilliantly insane masterpiece HOLY MOUNTAIN that I can't even begin to elaborate on and the violent acid western EL TOPO. The latter of which, according to the DVD notes, had it's distribution rights acquired by John Lennon. This meant the film did a hell of a lot better than it might have, unfairly slipping the net of popular international cinema canon we regard today, caused by a lacklustre theatrical release lost in obscurity - thankfully that didn't occur. JL, what a nice guy.

Very recently Jodorowsky has appeared in a formal video (following suit to many filmmakers of today financially stung) pitching new film LA DANZA DE LA REALIDAD with the intention of funding it's production from donations. I would love to see what he comes up with in the modern day; it might be that he totally avoids new technology / SFX but can you imagine a 3D Jodorowsky film? I'm no 3D advocate but that'd be quite something. Anyhow, after seeing the pre-production art for the DUNE film that never was (hunt them down on google!) followed by watching this clip of a documentary all about the professed "greatest science fiction film never made" VIDEO LINK HERE, I'm very excited to see this oft unsung director have at least once more dance in the light. The video is linked below, as well as the SANTA SANGRE pre-order.
