Blink Screening tonight

Just a friendly reminder that our screening of Ben Wheatley’s feature length film “Down Terrace” is happening tonight.
Written and directed by Ben, the film follows the story of a small crime family marking their decline with one final, violent blow out. Down Terrace has been collecting huge plaudits, winning Best British Film at Raindance Film Festival and Best Film at Fantastic Fest in the US.
And as if that wasn’t enough, we’ll also be screening the UK Premiere of Mr. Foley, a short film by Blinkink legends DADDY.
The night will be taking place at:
Courthouse DoubleTree,
19-21 Great Marlborough Street, W1
So if you haven’t already, please RSVP to screening@blinkprods.com
Thanks,

Cockroach

In August, I went to Japan for two weeks. And me and my friend Will Sharpe made a 30 minute short film, featuring his Japanese family. We took Blink's A1 (sorry if you wanted to use it), and borrowed lights and mics from Andrew - Kosai's friendly producer in Tokyo. And this is the long-awaited trailer! You may be thinking, great - but what's the film about? Well, it's about someone called Kiyoshi, whose work as a pest control man leads him to a mysteriously deserted house. Then, on his 20th birthday, he finds a letter from his dead grandfather telling him that he's the Messiah. And it all goes on from there. 

Sara Ramo - Movable Planes

Went to see Sara Ramo's first UK exhibition at The Photographer's Gallery last week. Ramo uses film, installation and photography to explore notions of order and disorder within a domestic setting. I really like the way she constructs imaginary narratives from everyday objects. Despite there only being a limited number of pieces, it's worth going to see. Shame there wasn't more!



'How to Learn What Happens in the Natural Order of Things'


'The Milky Way'


'Invasion of Everything that was Restrained'

Points of Interest: Ville Varume

Ville Varumo, born and raised in Finland.
Started taking pictures as a teenager.
Hasn't done anything else since, and doesn't want to.
At the moment he resides and works in Helsinki, Finland.

Where's the Ville Varumo photography book? We need to see more of him.






Some of his photographs have the distinctive Scandanavian look - they could be stills taken from a Roy Andersson film, one of which is a must see! (below)

Beautiful Loosers

ICA: 6 - 24 August & 20 - 21 October 2009

I was invited to the opening night to 'Beautiful Loosers' at the ICA last week, but had to miss it! I'm a fan of Harmony, so I reckon this documentary might be pretty interesting. If anyone wants to go with me next week, give me a tinkle...

"In the early 90s a loose-knit group of outsiders, including Harmony Korine and Shepard Fairey, met up around a little NYC gallery. Rooted in skateboarding, surf, punk, hip hop and graffiti, they made art that reflected their lives and, with almost no influence from the 'establishment' art world, they transformed pop culture. This documentary celebrates the spirit behind these artists"

Human Interface

Hi! My name's David Wilson, I'm a director represented by both Blinkink and Colonel Blimp. To start things off here's an ingenious creation by Multitouch-Barcelona; this computer/human live art interaction is a joy to watch.
Watch out for the download section; it's super cute.
