Pocket cinema: Sita Sings the Blues
This week was whole dedicated to animated films, but I had really vibrant last three weeks… participating on several workshopz at home and abroad; switching on/off between Dance Week Festival and Animafest, visiting several exhibitions, transcribing interviews and then, I get slightly overloaded… Therefore, I wasn’t blogging as I planned, cuz I needed a small break…
Animafest had really amazing long feature films in this year’s programme, and it was hard not to follow all of them (fully coverage will follow within next several weeks…). I’m extremely happy to announce that the Grand Prix Award went to Waltz with Bashir by Ari Folman. You probably remember that I had already this movie screened here in Pocket cinema. Today, I also have a real gem for you, and that’s ‘Sita Sings the Blues‘ by Nina Paley.
Pocket cinema: Flat Earth by Thomson & Craighead
Here’s very cool documentary ‘Flat Earth’ by Jon Thomson and Alison Craighead from 2007. It’s a sort of a visual tribute to the global use of internet, blogs and digital intimate thoughts shared by millions ‘anonymous’ users through digital waves…
Thomson & Craighead, duo that explores the concept of our comprehension and perception of the media, specifically the internet, are well known for their sound and video workz. So far, they exhibited their artworkz in Zentrum Kunst Media ZKM, Tate Gallery, Laboral Art Centre, The New Museum, etc…
