Written by Mischa Rozema and British graphic designer, Si Scott, the opening titles reflect their dark thoughts on a possible future. Directed by Mischa and shot on location in Prague, the film guides the viewer through a grim scenario embedded with the names of artists appearing at this year’s OFFF festival.
Mischa Rozema, Director, says: “We knew we wanted to make something that would unsettle and menace the audience. It was always going to be dark but also...
Now here’s a gem of a discovery that stopped me in my tracks this morning: Rare Book Feast is new short movie series about the timeless character of books. Their message and what they look like are what is celebrated here. Nate Burgos believes that as our culture becomes digital in a lot of ways, it is all the more important (not to mention inviting) to revisit and learn from the early design challenges, creative solutions and general lessons that the “old” print world keeps relevant.
Kicking off this series is the “World Geo-Graphic Atlas” (1953) designed by Herbert Bayer with Martin Rosenzweig, Henry Gardiner and Masato Nakagawa: 2,200 diagrams, graphs, charts, symbols spanning 368 pages about our planet earth. All done before computers.

From Teshima Island, by Nishizawa and Rei Naito, this could be the typical structure that reflects something contrary to what we always comment: "build the house from the roof". Organic and minimalist at the same time, Ryue Nishizawa, colleague of famous Kazuyo Sejima, this building is imbued with the aesthetics evanescent sensory and abstract works of the study. The project is presented with the cooperation and participation of the artist Rei Naito with resins, using small pieces, like drops of water, emphasizes extreme sensitivity of the nature of the place.

Channel 101 is a website dedicated to the submission and distribution of 5 minute television. Basically- each month, people produce and submit a 5 minute episode of “TV” and if the live audience they show it to out of L.A. likes it enough, they put it online.

The video is almost 60 years but I sure that sounds you everything it say and is easily transferable to the present. This sponsored film made for the Australian Council of Trade Unions proposes a Commonwealth solution to the housing problems facing families living in inner-city slums. It contrasts crowded and dilapidated city tenements with better homes in the suburbs, illustrates the financial considerations of families deciding to build a home and features highlights from the 1957 NSW People’s Housing Conference.
The narration, spoken by Leonard Teale, lists reasons why proper housing is not affordable: lack of finance, insufficient loans for home building, high interest rates and too few rental dwellings being built.
Members of building and other trade unions gather at the headquarters of the ACTU for a national conference. They are meeting to determine a new housing policy and program to address the housing crisis.
Filmed and produced by Jock Levy, Keith Gow, Norma Disher -...

It's a master class in collaboration as violinist Robert Gupta and cellist Joshua Roman perform Halvorsen's "Passacaglia" for violin and viola. Roman takes the viola part on his Stradivarius cello. It's powerful to watch the two musicians connect moment to moment (and recover from a mid-performance hiccup). The two are both TED Fellows, and their deep connection powers this sparkling duet.
