Garance Doré is a french Illustrator who started her fashion blog back in 2006. She has now published a short video showing her and Scott Schumann (The Sartorialist) as they jump in between the Fashion Weeks of Paris, London, New York and Milan a few months ago and the experiences they share during those inspiring days. Putting a magincal spell over that world with “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” chosen as the theme song, the video shows faces such as Mario Testino, Olivier Zahm, Jared Leto, Laeticia Casta and many others. Great short film which you should see here in full!

Look out for the director, photographer and musician Danilo Parra. The 23 year old Brooklyn-based super-talent likes skating, Vietnamese food and walking on the beach bare-feeted. We actually just stumbled upon his latest pictures, that show the experiments he did using a flash light and a few flashes to capture some beautiful pictures of his friends. By having a closer look into his blog we found out that he is working on a promising short film named Closeness. The documentary is about a saxophone player named Kalaparusha Maurice McIntyre and his stuggle on recording his final album, which is dedicated to his wife of 20 years. Parra’s raw and honest style is moving and powerful- we are surely keeping him on our radar!

The short film gives us an insider view on him and his childhood, his music, his motivation as an artist, the passion for his music and his muse, New York. Amazing camera in black & white and goosebumps all the way: we are as fan as you can get! Check it out!

We have just stumbled upon David Lynch’s “Interview Project”, maybe you all know it already. For those who not, check this out! Lynch has done an interview-roadtrip-documentary, shooting 121 short films about people he meets on a 60 day, 20.000 mile trip across USA. The idea was crea by Austin Lynch (David’s son) and Jason S. while they were sitting at the kitchen table.

The first and only time I saw The White Stripes at Catalonia’s festival Primavera Sound back in 2007, they absolutely blew my mind, making it one of the best rock concerts I had ever seen. Now, The White Stripes will rock the stages again, directly from your home. After premiering their first documentary “Under Great White Northern Lights” in September 2009, they brother-sister duo are now finally releasing the awaited limited edition box on March 16th, which contains the documentary DVD, an exclusive documentary DVD of their 10th Anniversary concert, their first Live CD, 7″ on Vinyl, a hardcover photography book and so on. “Under Great White Northern Lights” is directed by Emmett Malloy, who traveled by their side when touring through Canada (no matter how small the town was) for their 10th Anniversary, to give small and very intimate concerts. The documentary gives a very different private and delicate view of the usually rough indie-rock world and we cant wait to see it in full length!

“When You’re Strange” is the 90 min. film by award-winning director Tom DiCillo which will hit the cinema’s on April 9th, 2010.

Having presented at Sundance, San Sebastian, London and Berlin Festival among others, it is the first feature documentary about the influential and iconic foursome. Their legacy and spirit can even be felt by looking at the trailer, so we are very eager to see it in full length soon!
