El fin del mundo, de Alberto González Vázquez (via notodofilmfest)

It’s a measure of how far things have come that I can go to a warehouse to watch a Japanese man make loud yet beautiful noises with a striplight and it be a fairly normal night out for me. That’s not to say it wasn’t really good and mind-bending, just that it wasn’t that strange really.

The man was Atsuhiro Ito and it was good.

Anyway, I’m writing it up for BrumLive so for now here’s my photos, taken at a long exposure setting with a tripod:

(I would advise hitting the fullscreen button on the slideshow for these.)

I found this upside down horse in central Birmingham.

If you can find it yourself, let me know and you’ll, um, not win anything.

That’s ’sting’ with a small ’s’. See below.

I’ve not had much of a chance to check out the Flatpack Festival schedule yet. All I know is that it will be superb and will be worth attending to the fullest possible extent.

For example, the first thing I’ve looked at is a talk by Barry Purves:

Barry has animated and directed many prominent television series such as The Wind in the Willows, Rupert Bear, Bob the Builder and worked on feature films like Mars Attacks and King Kong. His own, often controversial, animated films have won over sixty major international awards and received OSCAR and BAFTA nominations

Which sounds ruddy impressive and interesting to me.

Also, just up on the Flatpack blog is the little sting that’ll be featured between screenings. It was animated by David Mourato, uses an original design and sound editing by Dave Gaskarth and Birmingham City University’s Visual Communication department were involved in some way too.
