MOCAtv: Magic hour

22/04/2013

MOCAtv presents its latest film, this time about life in LA.

 

"Magic Hour is about isolation versus intimacy. Grey (Chloe Sevigny) is married and living in a home that is bathed in beauty and warmth. But, she is imprisoned by her own isolation. Los Angeles reinforces and adds to her stagnation, but the inability to connect lives inside of her. Her isolation is such that she can only open up to her husband when they are separated by a telephone."

THE FILM before THE FILM - A Short History of Cinematic Title Sequences

19/04/2013

THE FILM before THE FILM is a short exposé and look back at the history of opening titles. If you're a dedicated fan of film, or simply a quiet observer, you'll have noticed that over the course of time, several trends have emerged when it comes to opening credits, their purpose and stylistic progression. THE FILM before THE FILM takes a look at pioneers like Saul Bass, Maurice Binder and Kyle Cooper by showing the transitions from early film credits to the inclusion of digital techniques, a resurgence of old-school style, and filmmakers' love of typography in space.

Ryan McGinley Short Film to Play in NYC Taxis

05/01/2013

A 30-second section of the film Ryan McGinley made for Icelandic band Sigur Ros a while back will be played in New York taxis until February 5, 2013. The film will be shown as part of an initiative projected by Yvonne Force Villareal and Doren Remen, co-founders of the nonprofit Art Production Fund, who came up with the idea after seeking more compelling content to play on Taxi TV. Having spent a lot of time in New York taxis, they felt McGinley's film would be the perfect fit.

'Ophelia Has A Dream' by Mihara Yasuhiro

10/12/2012

Shakespeare introduced her to us as a symbol of lost innocence. Pre-Raphaelite painter John Everett Millais picked up where the bard left off and imagined her as an object of ethereal beauty resting at last in a tranquil stream, and now Japanese designer Mihara Yasuhiro has produced a film directly inspired by the artist's work.

Eugene Kotlyarenko: FEAST OF BURDEN

A group of young friends get together for a dinner party. Sounds innocent enough, right? Wrong. One only needs to watch roughly thirty seconds (not even past the opening credits) of Eugene Kotlyarenko's twelve-part webseries, Feast of Burden, to start to understand the twisted, absurdist, surrealistic vision about to unfold onscreen. Through the ominous stench and haze of saturated fatty acids and wine, a nightmarish and very camp fantasy introduces us to a handful of weird and fiendish characters who could well be you or I, give or take a supernatural power or two.

Simon Cahn Interview

Storytelling

French filmmaker Simon Cahn has achieved a considerable amount in his reasonably short career to date. You may have seen Mourir Auprès De Toi, a film he co-directed with Spike Jonez for Olympia Le-Tan, or perhaps his phenomenal music video for Team Ghost's hit song 'Dead Film Star'. Other notable film projects have been commissioned by Louis Vuitton, Supreme and Nike. Whether putting his touch to art direction, photography or filmmaking, Simon is definitely someone to watch in the industry. We caught up with the man himself for a quick chat.
