I can’t find any video of The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man in the Moon Marigolds except for a few shitty out of sync clips. Loving the poster! if anyone’s got a copy give me a holler at my email.
Two nice new posters for intriguing looking films. Sorry pals no video yet.
Poster for SWIMMER (Lynne Ramsay, UK, 2012) Designer: uncredited
Festival poster for THE CAPSULE (Athina Rachel Tsangari, Greece, 2012)
Artist: Aleksandra Waliszewska; Designer: Ania Goszczynska
I really love this Mister Lonely poster. Did you know that Harmony Korine originally planned to first make a film called What Makes Pistachio Nuts? The story is wild.
Wiki: Prior to Mister Lonely Korine had written a story about a pig named Pistachio. The film was to take place during a race war in Florida and have a boy who would saddle the pig, put adhesive on its feet, climb up walls and throw molotov-cocktails. “It was going to be my masterpiece,” Korine comments. The script burnt in a fire and Korine spent $11,000 trying to recover it from his computer. He reportedly retrieved one sentence: “The speech is pointless; the finger is speechless.”

I’ve found a great website called Re:Collection which is an archive of Australian graphic design from 1960 - 1980. Check it out.
I think i’ve just worked out where Australian sport is going wrong!

A message from Masayoshi: “This is an award I had come to believe I would never encounter now. Recent recipients–Kenya Hara, Kashiwa Sato–have been of a new generation. Advertising and graphics had both been eagerly awaiting powerful stimuli, and those considered new designers have thoroughly strengthened to the extent that any of them are in a position to win this award. Frankly, my receipt represents a slight step backward. Yet I have no intention of yielding silently to anyone else, and I am fortunate to still have been able to compete against young candidates for this award.
I encountered Mr. Kamekura’s works within the design environment of the 1960s. His Nikon posters, lining the walls of the old station building at Ikebukuro, were a salvation to my gloom-laden young mind. I was moved with the realization that design had a future. Forty years later have brought me to my present fate. In addition to being grateful to Mr. Kamekura, I am inspired to strive so that I might convey to future generations the thrill I felt toward design in those days.”

Here’s the trailer for Shit Year, looks like a bit of a punish, lovely poster though.
This film is François Truffaut’s homage to Alfred Hitchcock, made shortly after Truffaut had published a book of extensive interviews with Hitchcock. As part of his homage, Truffaut chose a novel written by Cornell Woolrich, on who’s story Hitchcock’s Rear Window was based, and even chose long-time Hitchcock collaborator Bernard Herrmann to compose the score.
Although Kill Bill by Quentin Tarantino tells a very similar story, Tarantino has stated that he has never seen the film.
I know what I’m watching tonight! Check out the trailer
