"A Separation" [film]
"A separation" by Asghar Farhadi
the first Iranian film to win the Golden Bear..
By parasitesdontlisten, December 26, 2011
A separation, is a 2011 Iranian drama film written and directed by Asghar Farhadi, focusing on a number of personal experiences and abstract pictures which had been in Asghar Farhadi' mind for some time.
The film focuses on the marriage of a 14-years-old married couple that are facing a difficult decision: to improve the life of their child by moving to another country or to stay in Iran and look after a deteriorating parent who has Alzheimers.
Like Farhadi's last three films (The beautiful city, Fireworks Wednesday and About Elly), "A separation" was made without any government support while the film has received the Golden Bear for Best Film and the Silver Bears for Best Actress and Best Actor at the 61st Berlin International Film Festival, becoming the first Iranian film to win the Golden Bear.

your personal planting calendar..
By parasitesdontlisten, December 24, 2011
If you're interested in growing your own garden, but you're to busy keeping a calendar for your beloved seeds, then SproutRobot is the thing you need. SproutRobot will tell you what you want to grow and when to grow it, sends you high quality seeds, automatic email updates instructing you when to plant them, and a guide to handling everything else.
To get started, you tell SproutRobot your zip code. From there you're given two options: you can elect to either sign up for a free email version of the service, which tells you when to plant your seeds but doesn't actually send you any(in other words you have to go to the store and buy seeds yourself). Or you can sign up for the premium offer, which runs from $20/year for three varieties of seeds to $70/year for ten types of seeds.

When drowning becomes art
Drowning becomes art
An underwater treasure..
Artist Jason de Caires Taylor creates life-size cement sculptures of people and submerges them into the waters of South America. As time passes the sculptures become part of the underwater landscape and slowly become artificial reefs ripe with marine life. The process of experiencing artwork out of a traditional gallery and underwater is described with intimately vivid detail on his site.

Dentsu: paint sound sculptures
"Dentsu: paint sound sculptures" for Canon Pixma
Magnificent paint sound videos and stills..
By parasitesdontlisten, December 20, 2011
The creative studio dentsu, teamed up with a photographer linden gledhill to create this series of paint sculptures using sound vibrations. The series was part of a campaign for canon's pixma ink printer brand. The photographs and videos begin by wrapping a membrane around a small speaker. Ink drops were placed on this membrane and the speaker was turned on. Once it began to vibrate the ink begins to jump up and down, high-speed video cameras and still cameras were used to capture this including circling around the sculptures to see them from all angles, experimenting with different sounds and frequencies created the various pieces.

By parasitesdontlisten, December 18, 2011
The Beastie Boys have long been on the cutting edge of pop culture and entertainment, and with their big foray into the world of film, they've put together a cast that should have Tarantino, Scorsese and Apatow drooling. And it's all for a short film.
The list of bit players is even more impressive: Rashida Jones, Will Arnett, Adam Scott, Rainn Wilson, Ted Danson, Roman Coppola, Steve Buscemi, Amy Poehler, Jason Schwartzmann, Alicia Silverstone, Laura Dern, Kirsten Dunst, Chloe Sevigny, Maya Rudolph, David Cross, and Martin Starr.
Set to coincide with the release of their long-anticipated new album, "Hot Sauce Committee Part Two," the film also features cameos from the real Beasties Adam Yauch (who directed), Adam Horovitz and Mike D. Of course, they feature as cops.

collaborator with Jeff Lieberman. He has done sound design for radio and
documentary film, and is a prolific musician. He has a compulsive dancing

collaboration with choreographer Emily Beattie, he has become deeply interested
in dance and human movement.
Jeff
Lieberman explores the connections between the arts, sciences, education,
passion, creativity, and the potential future of human consciousness. He hosts
'Time Warp' on the Discovery Channel, using technology to see beyond the limits
of our normal human perception. He composes music in the duo gloobic, and has
performed in Carnegie Hall. He shows technological sculptures around the world,
to bring people an emotional and mystical connection with science and the
universe.

DEADLINE 2 : Sticking Close to You
We've probably watched him at his senior project at Savannah College of Art and Design, back in 2009 ("Deadline post-it stop motion"). Bang-Yao Liu, the director of this clip, is manipulating post-it notes to do pixel-like stop motion with interactions between live actors and post-its.This is the continuation of "Deadline stop motion" in 2009, only this time sticky note stop motion develops outdoors, and travels 11 cities around the world in 40 days by 2 people.
It's main purpose:
"Stop fighting with your work and deadline, let's go travel around the world!"
Enjoy!

Video: Mister Heavenly: "Bronx Sniper"
Mister Heavenly: "Bronx Sniper"
masked pranksters in "heavenly" destructive mood..
By parasitesdontlisten, December 14, 2011
Mister Heavenly is… comprised of indie rock veterans Nick Thorburn (Islands/The Unicorns), Ryan Kattner (Man Man), and Joe Plummer (Modest Mouse). Their mutual admiration society was in place before Mister Heavenly took shape. Modest Mouse and Man Man toured together repeatedly, starting in 2007. Nick and Ryan met in Philadelphia in the final days of The Unicorns, or maybe the early days of Islands. They’re not sure, but they hit it off instantly. They bonded over a lot of things—music, cough syrup, being signed to the same label—but it was one of their fundamental differences that inspired Ryan aesthetically. “I always thought that the two of our voices together would make an interesting contrast since they occupy very distinct ends of the vocal spectrum,” he says.
"Bronx Sniper" is 36-year-old Corey Adam's first attempt at directing a music video. The whole clip was shot in a soon-to-be-demolished house in Vancouver under a shoestring budget that basically amounted to the price of a botle of tequila.
