Slumdog Millionaire - Trailer
You know, the other night we could have watched this (we hardly ever go to the movies what with 3 kids), but thought it sounded heavy from the synopses (And we were after something fairly light), so went with Vicki Christina Barcelona... which was great, but this looks great.
He does a wide variety of film types doesn't he?

Vicky Cristina Barcelona was fantastic - doesn't play like a Woody Allen movie at all - for those who are turned off by the director. Also a great travel ad for Barcelona.
Amazing Bass Player
This is an unbelievable display of musicianship. Dalfarra is Venezuelan and is living in Barcelona. That's all I've been able to find so far. It's a shame this didn't make the top 15.

Oh how I loved Barcelona. I wish it showed more areas though.
Sculptor Creates Obama in Sand - Can be seen from Space?!
Oh please... why is it in Barcelona? Because Barcelona is a cool place to travel to and you were happy to be there. If it was about being global or somesuch, you should have made it in some shit-hole like Newark. I'm an art lover and this is just a t-shirt at best.

The Great VideoSift Coming -Out Thread (Happy Talk Post)
OK, I’ll hide back here in the thread. I’m in Chicago, but I’ve lived in San Francisco, Ohio, Barcelona and Berlin.I’ve supported myself for years in visual fields, photography, film, fine art. I work on commercial photoshoots, and tv commercials in the art department, primarily doing things that involve textiles – wardrobe, interiors, products. I studied film in school and had aims to be a screenwriter. The cigarette advertising script garnered interest but was poorly timed. I still hold out hope for the telepathic photocopier script. I like to make things out of an epoxy called PC-7. Lamps, furniture,embalmed fruit. I love to photograph animals and I get commissions. I keep a rescue horse at a friend's farm. I play guitar badly and sincerely, since I was a kid. And I’m a demon gardner. Beer, yes. 27 real teeth, one fake. Toe nail polish. Lucky in life. Iffy posture.

"(Not) Getting Married Today" - from Company (Sondheim)
Thanks, Issy. This is so great and reminded me of all the times I spun this record in high school, trying to understand what the world was like. There are many great songs on this album, but it also evokes the suburban world of Cheever for me. The writing is really well done. I think the first I heard of it was seeing Richard Chamberlain sing "Barcelona" on PBS when I was a kid. Thanks again.

Multimedia art in Zurich: A restaurant is turned into a work of art
english version (translation Julie Draper)
Zurich, 11.27.2005
Beginning at sundown from 11.27 through 12.31.2005, the historically protected building housing the Lake Side Restaurant in Zurich will be transformed into a 450 sqm. three-dimensional video art installation.
It is the work of Berlin-based multimedia artist Philipp Geist, a rising star in the young art scene. Together with the symphony orchestra OBC Barcelona and the Finnish sound ensemble Pan Sonic, Philipp Geist appeared as a video artist at the opening of the Sonar Festival in Barcelona in 2004. He was represented at the Dissonanze Festival in Rome, at Clubtransmediale in Berlin and at the Mutek Festival in Montreal which is renowned for new media. His video works have been exhibited at important international art institutions including the Central House of Artists (CHA) in Moscow, the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) in London, the National Gallery in Warsaw (Zacheta), at the opening of the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich – and now for the first time in switzerland.
For his work in Zurich, the 29 year-old Berlin-based artist deliberately avoids the use of canvases and instead projects directly onto the concrete building façades and windows which have been prepared with a special projection foil. Every evening, visitors can expect to see a selection of images alternating between purist, dreamlike and intangibly fragile compositions. The starting foundation for all of Philipp Geist’s work is video material solely filmed and produced by himself. Geist finds the subjects for his work in everyday things like hairbrushes, leaves, raindrops and curtains. He releases these objects from their usual setting and places them in new visual and correlated contexts by employing special camera and video techniques using motion blur and superimposition.
Especially for Winterzauber (Winter Magic) in Lake Side, Philipp Geist went in search of wintry, Christmasy motifs which attempt to break the link to consumption and indulgence, and instead direct visitors’ attention toward the pure aesthetic component that is all too often obscured by the kitschy madness of Christmas.
It is in this way that a ride along the highly commercialized Oxford Street in London takes on a completely new appearance as it is seen through a window pane. Distorted by the raindrops at night, it allows viewers only a vague impression of the twinkling Christmas lights. Microscopic close-ups give sparklers, burned down candles and snowflakes an element of diversity that would have remained unappreciated by the human eye without the aid of technology.
By opting to use the three-dimensional, defined structure contours as projection surfaces instead of canvases, Geist increases the motifs’ abstraction while simultaneously regaining depth and diversity. In this way, Geist initiates a dialogue between the historically protected architecture, his artistic work and the people going in and out of the structure: The visitor himself becomes part of the projected image on the threshold between the inside and outside of the building.
Geist allows a wintry world to emerge in front of visitors’ eyes. The subject matter and motifs, although familiar, astonish with their size and unusual presentation while altering the observer’s perception and challenging conventional viewing habits.
Given that the opening of Geist’s work will coincide with the first day of Advent, it will be intriguing to see how he uses his playful, artistic interpretation to approach winter and Christmas themes. One thing is for certain: Visitors will be able to immerse themselves in a tranquil, wintry, dreamlike world of lights.
