Take Away Shows

I've been getting my music fill from blogotheque's Take Away Shows. Here is their run-down:

Every week, we invite an artist or a band to play in the streets, in a bar, a park, or even in a flat or in an elevator, and we film the whole session. Of course, what makes the beauty of it is all the little incidents, hesitations, and crazy stuff happening unexpectingly. Besides, we do not edit the videos so they look perfectly flawless, instead we keep the raw sound of the surroundings. Our goal is to try and capture instants, film the music just like it happens, without preparation, without tricks. Spontaneity is the keyword.

My personal favorite is Fleet Foxes performing Sun Giant/Blue Ridge Mountains.

A Short: Full Employment

With the way the economy is headed who wouldn't take an entry level job as zombie hunter. A short film called Full Employment, directed by Thomas Oberlies and Matthias Vogel, two scientists from Germany, explores the future of employment with a twist. I wish I could find a full length version of the film, but check out the trailer, in German, no subtitles, but you'll get the point.

A Short: Short Term 12

Saw a short film called, um, Short Term 12, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton. It just won Best Narrative Short at SIFF. The film's log line is : It's about kids and the adults who hit them. Honest, funny, and sad. An array of emotions all with 20 minutes or so.

A Short: The Blindess of the Woods

The Blindness of the Woods, a short film directed by Martin Jalfen and Javier Lourenco, is an erotic tale of a blind woman, a lumber jack, and a bear whose yarn entangle in the cold Swedish night. I saw this film at shortfest this week at SIFF. Hilariously wrong, will never look at yarn the same way again.

A Short: The Archivist

I saw the The Archivist, by James Lees this weekend at the Seattle International Film Festival's Shortfest. The Archivist is about one man's obesssion to perserve love forever. The inspiration for the film came from working at a butcher's shop.
