| AND THE WINNERS ARE...
The Audience Choice Award for Best Short Film goes to Japanese Tradition: Relationships, written and directed by Namikibashi. The Audience Choice Award for Best Music Video goes to "The Dumbing Down of Love," directed by Joel Peissig with a track by Frou Frou. Peissig worked with Andrew Bell of Method, and together they created a process that allowed them to render live action so that it looks like an impressionist painting in motion, with the rich, elliptical images perfectly matching the song's wistfulness. We will re-screen these two fantastic pieces as part of monthly screening series next Monday night, February 23, at 8:00PM at the Egyptian Theatre in LA. See details below! | |

This spring, BBS will showcase its own clothing line and the work of three other NYC designers in Tokyo's notoriously avant-garde Harajuku district, adding just one more chapter to the ever-growing fashion/music/design/art love affair between Tokyo and the Big Apple. Drawing on the stylistic flair and the restless pursuit of the new which so many associate with New York, BBS presents its new Tokyo boutique as a showcase for established and emerging artists that highlights the connections across media. The other design groups set to take part in the first BBS collection are Rag & Bone, a collective which focuses on authenticity and craftsmanship, Surface to Air, a consortium of design professionals in New York, Paris and Barcelona who work in a broad array of media including apparel design, and Yoko Devereaux, a conceptual new menswear line. A special feature in the store will be a permanent art installation beneath a raised glass floor that will feature a model train running through a miniature city. A wireless wide angle camera lens attached to the engine will transmit images to the front of the space for the entertainment of passersby. | ||

| THE BLOW UP BLOWS UP
Since its launch in 2000, TheBlowUp.com has been carving out a
unique space for itself online with a hip but intelligent blend
of photography, media art, smart design, fashion snippets, interviews
and a fair share stream-of-consciousness academic musings about
theory, culture and the like. The folks at The Blow Up have had
expansionist ambitions ever since they started and last year moved
into the print arena (Issue #2 of The Blow Up Magazine comes out
this spring). Now they have a new Web project, The Blow Up Review,
a "centralized listing" of upcoming events and cultural loci from
around the world which also includes opinionated reviews across
the spectrum of cultural expression, from fashion and design to
TV to politics. | |

| BLOCKHEAD FILMMAKER CONTEST Blockhead, the producer of acclaimed recent albums by the likes of Aesop Rock and Atmosphere, has debut album of playful and strange instrumental, titled Music by Cavelight, out on Ninja Tune next month (take it from us, it's very, very good). It's the sort of music that nicely complements visual expression, so Ninja is sponsoring a competition for filmmakers to make short films to this "ready-made soundtrack." The contest is open to filmmakers of all levels of expertise, "good ideas" are valued here over "high production values." The winner will receive a cash prize of $1000 ($1500), plus the honor of having your film projected as the backdrop during Blockhead live performances and the opportunity to have your work released on DVD. | |
