PENINSULA PROPAGANDA - 11 DAYS TILL THE 8TH EDITION

2010-08-14T03:06:00.000-07:00

If you'll open the official festival page you can read what these guys have in store for the Romanian audience this year, but Peninsula is more than just facts. It's true, they're gonna have over 70 artists performing in 4 days! this way covering a variety of genres, so no one gets to complain. Besides the big bands that are attending, the charm of this particular festival is that you're making new musical discoveries every day, finding gorgeous bands that you've never heard of before.

Peninsula promises to be a true festival experience for its visitors with shows held in 4 musical locations, film projections from Transylvania International Film Festival, a variety of sports competitions & extreme sports.

What I consider to be the peak of the whole 4 days, is being able to witness a DUB FX street performance in the center of Targu Mures. Besides that, Dub Fx, Flower Fairy and Mr Woodnote will have a live show in the festival camp on August 29th at Kiss Terrace.

The line-up gathers big names like Korn, Gorillaz Sound System, The Rasmus, Nero, Parov Stelar Band, Noisia, Babylon Circus, Above and Beyond, Sub Focus, Tricky, N.O.H.A, Theraphy and Europe, chilling the thirst for dance and music.

Romanian music was not left aside, therefore legendary rock band Phoenix, psychedelic band Tunderground, the funk-jazzy band Blazzaj, the electro crowd-rocking Suie Paparude, Kumm with their soon legendary sax player Iordache, Butterflies in my stomach and Gojira will hit the public with a mixture of sounds and rhythms.
Check the rest of the bands and Dj's on their website and get yourself surprised.

Also, count on safety and good behavior during your stay, Peninsula got a name of being a well-bred festival.

Yes, start counting days till the beginning of what is known to be the biggest musical happening in Romania.
And get some sleep before! Watch here and see my point!

WHY NOT BE A HERO?

2010-08-06T08:11:00.000-07:00

Have some guts this summer, get to die for tickets quickly and don't miss on the biggest urban happening.
I'm gonna freeze some guys up in the air during the skateboarding competition, while they do their tricks and make you envious about how cool they are.
Besides the coolness of this festival, Heroes can be proud of taking place in one of the biggest skate parks you can find in Eastern Europe. Someone will get his hands on a 5000€ cash prize on the BMX competition that will gather 12 professional riders. Urban artists show off with their originality and style and there will be plenty of it: 12 crews, each with 5 writers.
Street artist will have their say. Skate park as an art gallery. Artists that are not bound to the classical working space will attend and make Youth Park a place of unconventional art. And then again, there's dancing. Street dancing that is, with 10 crews, duet and solo performers. Film lovers don't get to complain, as "In search of the Miraculous" composed by Pontus Alv will be launched there and will give you some insights on what urban lifestyle means.

Heroes that will be delighted to give a courageous performance are: Dub FX and band, up to 8 members on stage, Chase and Status together with MC Rage, Borgore, Dropdread, Gojira, DJ Hype.
No need to tell you more. This is the place to take lessons on urban culture.

Street Heroes, only a click away.
3 days, 12-14th August, Youth Park, Bucharest.

Four years old digital photo, the reason I like it is, that it's almost black and white, few grays, and 2nd, you can hardly see anything behind his eyes, but has such a gentle face that tells you everything about the way he is. I remember that he wasn't upset by me taking this photo, and had an attitude like, why are you photographing me, am I that interesting or intriguing? Maybe he was about to ask me something, but I left before he did. I found him near a market place, in Iasi.

Max Dupain, Australian photographer

2010-02-26T07:39:00.000-08:00

The sunbaker, taken in 1937, only in 70's became iconic in Australian art and photography.

Max Dupain was against studio fakery or manipulation, claiming that "photography is at its best when it shows a thing clearly and simply."

"Simple geometry and dynamic symmetry had perfectly expressed the energy of modernist formalism." Gael Newton (Curator of Australian photography at the National Gallery of Australia) on Dupain's "The Sunbaker"

Modern photography : Something whose aim is partly or wholly aesthetic as opposed to photography which is merely documentary and representational.

There's something about Manhattan...

2010-01-04T06:55:00.000-08:00

Treat a boring day, a day which you spend with enormous lack of imagination, with a film. Take Manhattan for example, even though you've seen it before, this time it fits perfect on the situation. Well, you push play and your eyes see these incredible black and white pictures, little moving-picture postcards. Atmospheric gray shots, each with its own story, snowy streets drowned in evening lights, seen from the point of view of a puppy. Everything has a light taste of poetry, from New York's immense buildings seen by night, billboards and street signs that hurt your eyes, fireworks electrocuting the entire sky, leaving light dust behind. Rich blacks, slightly underexposed interiors where characters affected maybe by the city they live in, have endless conversations on a variation of topics, making no point at the end. Simple, beautiful compositions, shots where only highlights guide you through and help you follow the actors inside it. If I wouldn't be writing about a Woody Allen film, I would make a reference about the music played in the background, saying it's so..Woody Allen. Cinematography's so intimate, matching the story and the relation(ship)s between characters. Besides the way Gordon Willis handled photography, I love the fact that there's a joke or reference every step of the conversation, not just common humor, but sometimes sad or (auto)ironical and you find yourself laughing. Too bad that this 2.35:1 film can only be seen on a laptop.
Two things to mention before I stop writing, Diane Keaton made me think of Julie Delpy's character in Before Sunset, and second, Meryl Streep looked incredible, I'm just curious why Allen cast her for this part, not taking into consideration her acting talent.
Enjoy if you end up watching it!

Workshop Zorobabel la Anim'est

2009-09-17T23:29:00.000-07:00

După ce vreme de trei ediţii Anim’est a prezentat cele mai bune filme de animaţie ale anului, după ce anul trecut atelierul de animaţie 2D a avut un foarte mare succes, anul acesta, din nou, festivalul vă propune, timp de 5 zile, un work-shop de animaţie. Între 5 şi 9 octombrie, la Librăria Cărtureşti din str. Verona, vă dau întâlnire trainerii de Zorobabel - Belgia.

Workshop-ul de benzi desenate şi filme animate Zorobabel a văzut lumina zilei în aprilie 1994, la iniţiativa unor creatori care au dezvoltat un proiect pedagogic, ce-şi propunea să transforme animaţia într-o formă de educaţie. De aceea, unul dintre scopurile animatorilor de la Zorobabel este de a-i ajuta pe elevi să înţeleagă nu doar o parte din tainele realizării filmului, dar şi implicaţiile sale sociale şi culturale.

Cu o experienţă de 15 ani în lucrul cu copii şi tineri, trainerii Zorobabel colaborează frecvent cu centre culturale (Foyer Culturel d'Evere, Centre Culturel Jacques Franck), şcoli (Académie des Beaux-Arts Jean-Jacques Gaillard, Athénée Royal de Schaerbeek, Decroly, ZEP of Forest and Saint-Gilles) sau centre sociale (Le Douzerome, Le Crac, le Centre de Formation des Animateurs, l'Agence de Prévention du Sida, Le Monde au bout des doigts), obţinând rezultate excelente la nivel educaţional, dar şi artistic. Astfel, o parte dintre filmele realizate în cadrul acestor workshop-uri au fost invitate în festivaluri şi chiar premiate.

Caroline Nugues-Bourchat şi Marie-Rose Vella vor încerca să arate că tehnica realizării filmelor de animaţie, ce poate să pară inaccesibilă, nu este de neînţeles. Ele vor explica şi proba în practică cu participanţii, fiecare dintre paşii de la o temă dată la un film animat. Rezultatul workshopului, adică cele 15 creaţii ale participanţilor, vor putea fi vizionate la finalul lucrului.

Cei interesaţi se pot înscrie până în data de 20 septembrie trimiţând la adresa workshop.animest@gmail.com datele personale, o scrisoare de intenţie şi, dacă e cazul, filme animate realizate anterior. Mai multe detalii despre condiţiile de înscriere, pe www.animest.ro.

Anim'est 2009

2009-09-17T01:54:00.000-07:00

Anim'est, 2-11 octombrie, editia IV.

Singurul festival de film de animaţie din Bucureşti şi cel mai important din România, Anim’est contabilizează, pentru primele trei ediţii, 900 de filme proiectate şi peste 18.000 de spectatori. Consacrat pe plan internaţional, evenimentul a avut ca invitaţi mari nume ale animaţiei mondiale, precum John R Dilworth şi Bill Plympton (nominalizaţi la Premiul Oscar), Hayo Freitag sau Juan Pablo Zaramella şi a prezentat cele mai importante filme de animaţie premiate la Cannes, Annecy, Animadrid sau Animateka.

Pentru că odată cu dezvoltarea festivalului s-a observat creşterea interesului pentru animaţie atât din partea publicului, cât şi din partea profesioniştilor, Anim’est vă aşteapă în perioada 2 - 11 octombrie, la cea de-a patra ediţie, cu o ofertă şi mai generoasă. Pentru prima dată festivalul îşi aşteaptă publicul în patru locaţii: Cinematografele Patria, Union, Elvira Popescu şi Terasa Verona (Librăria Cărtureşti). Şi tot pentru prima dată, în cadrul Anim’est are loc Creepy Animation Night, o întreagă noapte dedicată filmelor de animaţie şi muzicii, reunite într-un show mixat de Pakito (Franţa).

Dintre cele peste 600 filme primite pentru selecţie (s-au primit, în premieră, filme din Malaezia, Chile, Peru, Columbia, Madagascar, Mozambic), au fost alese pentru competiţie 199, grupate în şase secţiuni: lung-metraj, scurt-metraj, film românesc, film studenţesc, videoclip & advertising şi, balkanimation, transformat în acest an din show-case, în concurs.
Ţara prezentată în acest an la Anim’est este Japonia, iar evenimentul central al acestei prezentări este Retrospectiva Hayao Miyazaki. Cunoscut pentru Spirited Away, pentru care a primit Oscarul în 2003, şi Howl’s Moving Castle, pentru care a fost nominalizat din nou în 2006, Hayao Miyazaki este considerat unul dintre cei mai mari animatori din toate timpurile.

Întâlniri cu Mike Reiss (SUA), scenarist al filmelor Simpsons Family şi Ice age 4, Guilaine Bergeret (Franţa), reprezentant al SacreBleu production, un cunoscut producător şi distribuitor de scurt-metraje şi Marie Anne Fontainer (Franţa), decan al facultăţii Supinforcom, una dintre cele mai mari şcoli de animaţie din lume, sunt trei dintre evenimentele Anim’est care nu trebuiesc ratate. Georges Schwitzgebel (Elveţia), un clasic al animaţiei premiat la Cannes, Berlin, Annecy este invitatul special al acestei ediţii Anim’est.

Dacă aveţi nevoie de mai multe informaţii, vă invităm pe www.animest.ro, site-ul oficial al evenimentului, care vă aşteaptă în acest an cu un nou design. Dacă deja v-am convins, site-ul www.bilet.ro vă pune la dispoziţie, ca în fiecare an, oferta noastră de bilete, cu cele trei categorii: biletul pentru o proiecţie - 10 lei, abonament pentru 10 proiecţii - 80 lei şi Festival Pass, care permite accesul la toate evenimentele festivalului - 150 lei. La cumpărarea unui Festival Pass, Anim’est oferă cadou kitul festivalului, care cuprinde toate materialele promoţionale ale festivalului.

Nouvelle Vague, easy to love mainstream tribute cover band. They seem to really love that kind of music, and they don't show it by wearing mohawks, but by making three records. To make it their music somehow. Music from that era was blamed by uptight British media in the 70's and 80's and was hailed by very young middle class people because it spoke the truth.
My favorite songs are In a matter or speaking and Master and Servant, both originally by Depeche Mode. Also, I can't help not to keep listening All my colors (Echo and the Bunnymen), the Bauhaus and the Clash covers. And there's also the DEAD KENNEDYS cover, the Cure cover and the Sex Pistols cover. And the... I'll stop now...

A Bad Night

2009-08-25T10:35:00.000-07:00

Trailer for Mala Noche

Gus Van Sant is best known by film freaks for his early work (Discipline of D.E., Mala Noche, Drugstore Cowboy, My own private Idaho). Future film freaks know him for Elephant and Paranoid Park and normal people for Good Will Hunting and maybe, Milk, the eight Oscar nominations blast. Whatever category you're part of, it's your business.

25000$ and 16 mm film Mala Noche took to be made in 1985. This high contrast, under and overexposed film tells the story of Walt's friendship with two illegal immigrants and his unfulfilled love with one of the boys. It's not a big deal this mixed up story about 3 guys, but the courage and sincerity behind it turned it into a great debut.
Walt, played by Tim Streeter is a young "privileged" American who falls in love with 16 years old Mexican, Johnny. While having the charm, but not having the money, he fails to make the stubborn Mexican share his feelings. What he gets though is his friend, another young and confused one by the name of Pepper. These two end up having a short, meaningless relationship.

An achievement of this experimental movie is that the non-narrative formula was very creatively sustained by, maybe sometimes improvised, but powerful cinematography of John Campbell. Along with film noir aesthetics there's also a grunge mood and look throughout this movie, and I don't mean Streeter's shirts and torn t-shirt he's always dresses with (he's the stereotypical Gus Van Sant character that you also see with Keanu Reeves and River Phoenix in his next film).
What makes this film a pleasure to watch are the grainy black and white shots (some people know what I mean...) along with the contrastry images. Powerful scenes are shot at night where you hardly see dark streets (by day or by night, I'm sure Portland doesn't look in real life the way this director shoots it) and characters wrapped in cigarettes smoke. In this film the heart shaped ashtray is always full and glasses always empty. A must see for the first category I named in the beginning.

"Nevoia de mit,

2009-08-14T11:10:00.000-07:00

Mi-a povestit cineva despre niste exploratori de pesteri care au umblat pana s-au ratacit. Si apoi multa vreme au trebuit sa caute prin intuneric. Nimeni nu mai spera, in acel labirint complicat si intunecos, care parea de neinvins. Dar intr-o zi o raza de lumina i-a condus spre drumul catre aer si soare. Priveau acel drum, mergeau pe el, hotarati, chiar daca la iesire lumina avea sa fie prea tare pentru ochii lor neobisnuiti cu ea si sa-I arda. Si nu le ramanea in acest caz decat sa umble apoi orbi prin lume. Dar mergeau mai departe. Nu stiau decat ca vor face doar asta." (Octavian Paler)

Jim Goldberg a aparut luna aceasta in sectiunea Look a revistei Dossier. Cu toate ca nu ar trebui sa ma uimeasca, avand in vedere profilul revistei si fotografia autorului, nu inceteaza sa ma amuze lista de coincidente din ultima vreme. Enjoy!

Haven't been around that much lately... so, there you go. Not yet decided if this is the last post from the series.

London Exhibition

Fotografii de la expozitia Shoot Nations 2008 din Londra in cadrul careia am avut 2 lucrari: pictures.
Cei care ma cunosc nu ma vor vedea pe acolo din pacate, insa vor vedea fotografia cu Natura Moarta. Chiar si asa, ma bucur ca am avut sansa sa particip la acest eveniment.

Aici puteti vedea imaginile mele (1, 2), precum si celelalte lucrari expuse: shoot nations.

Red hair, harsh shadows

2008-07-02T14:25:00.001-07:00

What I'm gonna post on my blog on a period of time is a series of photographs taken in one photo shoot, with my new model (thanks by the way :), in different keys of light. I chose one of my good friends to be the model for these pictures for she she knows how to act and pose and also for her short red hair at that time. The hard light & harsh shadows and the "mechanical" pose in some back lit shots came from expressionist movies, though I didn't mean to get the expressionistic feel. I'm beginning with ..uh mm...portraits, my favorite from this photo shoot and in general. I expect any kind of feedback. Enjoy! :)

The second one is never as good as the first one. It's called a substitute.

A sad and beautiful world

It was supposed to be a post about the train blues (not the music, but the mood), when there aren't many people around, accompanied by Tom Waits songs. I thought of Jarmusch & Waits instead, because that's what really felt like.

Exorcizare prin blues si rock

2007-07-20T09:29:00.000-07:00

Big Bang-ul, acum cate miliarde de ani? Si ce a rezultat? Acum sunt sase miliarde de oameni pe planeta. 60000 adunati pentru un concert. Romani. Trebuie sa existe un motiv. Doar pentru 4 oameni? Si ce daca ii cheama Mick, Keith, Ron, Charlie. Nu sunt singurii. Aaa, stiu sa cante?

Muzica pe care o recunosti, chiar daca nu ai ascultat-o niciodata, o stii pentru ca ti se potriveste. O auzi o data, de doua ori, apoi devii dependent. Se misca ceva. Sunete, multe, fara nicio logica, dar care adunate, transmit ceva. Si din ritmul ala faci parte si tu.

Urmeaza "a bigger bang". Vrei sa vezi ce se intampla. Poate fara prea multe asteptari. Apoi descoperi ca de la ei a inceput totul. Treci intr-o alta stare. Uiti. Doar asculti. Esti acolo.
Muzica ce vorbeste despre stari, momente, experiente. Trecute si viitoare. Subconstiente, reale. Muzica ce schimba, vindeca, prin care te descoperi sau te reinventezi.
Acum totul e foarte clar. Acum stii de ce.
Asa s-a intamplat si pentru mine.

Spoturile TIFF, mereu amuzante, inteligente, nu te lasa niciodata sa treci indiferent, fara sa arunci macar o privire sau sa schitezi un zambet ironic. Preferatul meu e cel din 2006 pe fundal de Fanfara Ciocarlia (melodia ti se lipeste pur si simplu de urechi !) pe care il urmaream de cate ori era difuzat pe holurile cinema-urilor. Uitati-va la spoturi, mergeti la festival, vedeti filme si judecati pentru voi insiva:
