Miroir Noir, Arcade Fire’s film chronicling their tour and making of Neon Bible has been available as a digital download since last month, and now the physical dvd and limited edition version are set to be released. The film was directed by Vincent Morriset and shot by Vincent Moon (two of my favourite Vincent’s – honourable mention: Tom Cruise in Collateral). Here’s a taste:

Waltz with Bashir wins!

Waltz with Bashir, Ari Folman’s animated documentary about the 1982 war in Lebanon, won the Golden Globe for best Best Foreign Language Film! I still have to see this film, very excited to see Asaf Hanuka’s illustrations animated.

Herbert Baglione

I was gonna post about the amazing artwork of Herbert Baglione and saw that Juxtapoz did me one better and dug up a fantastic interview with Baglione in Sao Paolo, Brazil. The interview is from The Run UP series put together by Fifty24SF Gallery and Upper Playground. Love the opening with Baglione drawing in the sand and the waves erasing the work. “…it’s not what you show people but how it makes you feel inside”.

I snagged a few images of his work, below:

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.

I don’t know why I never saw this when it came out! My sister sent me the link to this really great documentary called Good Copy Bad Copy. It is a film by Andreas Johnsen, Ralf Christensen, and Henrik Moltke about the good, the bad, and the ugly of copyrights. Girltalk and Dangermouse discuss their music and Tiamo from PirateBay talks about his battle to continue providing the world with pirated software.

There are many other interesting stories weaved throughout the film which introduce things I’d never heard of like “Nollywood” and “Techno Brega”. If you already know everything about everything, I guess you don’t need to watch the film and you also deserve an award… *I hand you a piece of paper that says “Congratulations, you jackass.”

You can watch the entire film after the jump! (And there might also be a fabulous bonus link) MORE…
