Reminder: All is Full of Love


A decade after its release in 1999, "All is Full of Love" is still as moving as ever. Directed by Chris Cunningham, the short film was not only a furtherance in special effects, but also a breakthrough in marrying the sci-fi genre with romance and real human emotion.

Never Stop with Rita Ackermann for KAI KUHNE



I want her life! Seriously, limousines and photo shoots go hand-in-hand if you ask me. This short video is absolutely absurd, and absolutely genius at getting my attention. Directed by Marcelo Krasilcic, Rita Ackermann, dances, wiggles, and sings, showcasing the best of Kai Kuhne's SS09 collection.

Valentino: The Last Emperor


VALENTINO THE LAST EMPEROR is a feature-length film on the legendary designer Valentino Garavani in the wake of his exit in 2008 from the company he founded in Rome more than 45 years ago. Produced and directed by Matt Tyrnauer, Special Correspondent for Vanity Fair magazine, the film is an intimate, engaging and very funny fly-on-the-wall exploration of the singular world of one of Italy's richest and most famous men. The film documents the colorful and dramatic closing act of Valentino’s celebrated career, tells the story of his extraordinary life and work, and also explores the larger themes affecting the fashion business today. But at the heart of the film is the unique relationship between Valentino and his business partner and companion of 50 years, Giancarlo Giammetti.

Empty Orchestra




I've always been fascinated with karaoke in America. I mean, strangers gathering in dark rooms to sing their favorite guilty pleasures?! I feel like there's a profound story behind the type of individuals who become regulars at karaoke bars.
I see a documetary. At the least, I see an idea for a photo exhibition.

The idea is to snap random lines on the screen at karaoke bars (just as I have done above), and let the photos speak for themselves.

Maybe I could even do a seperate blog where people from all over could submit shots of their favorite karaoke lines.

The blog could supplement the documentary.

The doc would be called EMPTY ORCHESTRA (karaoke translated).

Helvetica

I don't know how this documentary got passed me?!

Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which will celebrate its 50th birthday in 2007) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives. The film is an exploration of urban spaces in major cities and the type that inhabits them, and a fluid discussion with renowned designers about their work, the creative process, and the choices and aesthetics behind their use of type. - helveticafim.com

Helvetica encompasses the worlds of design, advertising, psychology, and communication, and invites us to take a second look at the thousands of words we see every day.



This is a MUST for Anyone who is passionate about typography...The trailer alone gets me inspired!

Check out helveticafilm.com for more trailers and such.

SYI: About the Typeface:

Helvetica was developed by Max Miedinger with Eduard Hoffmann in 1957 for the Haas Type Foundry in Münchenstein, Switzerland. In the late 1950s, the European design world saw a revival of older sans-serif typefaces such as the German face Akzidenz Grotesk. Haas' director Hoffmann commissioned Miedinger, a former employee and freelance designer, to draw an updated sans-serif typeface to add to their line. The result was called Neue Haas Grotesk, but its name was later changed to Helvetica, derived from Helvetia, the Latin name for Switzerland, when Haas' German parent companies Stempel and Linotype began marketing the font internationally in 1961.

Introduced amidst a wave of popularity of Swiss design, and fueled by advertising agencies selling this new design style to their clients, Helvetica quickly appeared in corporate logos, signage for transportation systems, fine art prints, and myriad other uses worldwide. Inclusion of the font in home computer systems such as the Apple Macintosh in 1984 only further cemented its ubiquity.
