WHEN I WAS

Saturday, June 14, 2014

One of the films I look forward to most this summer: Richard Linklater’s Boyhood. While the title draws multiple definitions only similar in abstraction, Linklater–the versatile, the skillful, and just shy of master-status–manages to distill that bittersweet expanse of time in this massive work. Capturing twelve years in narrative through the aging cast, the film [...]

You have to hand it to them: Fantastic Man’s editorial choices are always a treat. Boom Boom Boris on the cover? No German title with any self-respect would have dared to… Yes indeed.

ALBUM MAN

Friday, March 14, 2014

Andrei Tarkovsky’s intense films, though numbering only seven across his almost quarter decade career, have cemented his place as one of cinema’s master craftsmen. Meditative, intimate, and often opaque, the films lack nothing in compelling narrative nor symbolic density.  Those not fond of slower films can still wonder at his meticulous composition, baptized by [...]

These apocalyptic appearing press photos of the latest events in the Ukraine were published yesterday by the spanish newspaper El País.

PREHISTORICAL STONE ART MEETS 3-D

Wednesday, February 12, 2014

What drives the science team of the Pioti project to document each millimeter of the around 300.000 stone engravings of Valcamonica in the Italian Alps?
