In the early 90s, Artavazd Pelechian made two spiritual films which are among his simplest and most beautiful productions: The End (1991) and Life (1992), Pelechian’s first colour film. Where The End looks towards death, Life is about a birth, consisting mainly of views of a young woman’s face in the throes of labour, her heaving body in its hospital room seen as a changing landscape. read more

I have always been intrigued and fascinated by American artist and film maker Joshua Callaghan’s mix of wit and dark humor in his work which often is critical towards the American material culture and mass production. Callaghan’s art has been exhibited at venues including the UC Riverside Sweeney Gallery, the Guggenheim Gallery of Chapman University, and his videos at museums and festivals internationally. read more

This shortfilm by producer Fede Alvarez has already had its heydays late last year on numerous blogs, but for the few of you who hasn’t seen this $300 production of giant robots invading Uruguay – here it is. The gossip goes that Fede Alvarez has accepted a $30 million deal from Hollywood only a few days after this movie first was uploaded – well done.
