Temporary Copenhagen

Vincent Moon’s latest project, Temporary Copenhagen, is a real treat. If I try to explain it I will mess it up so I’ll let Moon explain it for you, “A 30min piece we created on the spot. 9 local bands, only 3 i knew, 2 hours to organise something before the audience arrives, and the objective to create a unique sound piece, a collaborative concert which would be moving in an intimate space. Only one take, no cuts, loads of tension, maybe an interesting talk between cinema and music where each one feeds the other one. And a certain idea of a document on a city and its creative life.”

On an Arthouse kick / My new favorite site.

closely watched trains title On an Arthouse kick / My new favorite site.

There’s a couple things you might have noticed about this site lately.
1) I’m making a lot of lists
2) I’m talk a lot about films these days.

A while back I mentioned that I fell in love again with film, and it’s just been getting stronger. Especially now that Criterion has created a social network of sorts for cinephiles called The Auteurs. I encourage anybody interested or curious about film to check it out. They even have films for viewing, most of them you have to pay but some are for free, including one of my favorite films of all time Closely Watched Trains, (pictured above).

So please, check it out, watch the film even, and if you want, add me as a friend.
