Brazilian-born, New York-based filmmaker Guilherme Marcondes’ animated shorts take viewers on surreal journeys through magical landscapes. I love his award-winning work, Tyger [above], inspired by the William Blake poem of the same name. In this film, the passing of a prowling, hand-puppet feline turns the human inhabitants of a large city into animals. As a dour family become chattering apes and peons at a bus stop are transformed into birds of all shapes and sizes, the viewer is reminded of the animality that lies, often repressed, at our human core.

I love the rock and roll! I love the sheer coarseness of it all, the sweet rambling mayhem that a standard guitar set-up and Marshall amps stacked to the roof can generate. The audacity of it. Read more

Oh, ok, so now I’ve seen it all. Or perhaps, in this case, I’m not seeing enough. Japanese game shows are so much fun. Seriously.
Oh man, close your eyes if you will and transport yourself to a place far, far away; where disco is in, polyester is up, and everyone bows long and deep to the gravitational pull of the almighty afro. Sister Self-Doubt by The Shakes takes me there. It takes me front and centre, feeling that slippery, incidenary groove as it crunches my spine and works its way to my feet. Hmmm, the feet. It’s always in the feet. And now I’m dancing and twisting, onwards and upwards, like a manic spinning top thinking nothing of today and even less of tomorrow.
Listen to The Shakes track, Sister Self Doubt.
