Alchemists and alchemical-like types…
…seem to spring up everywhere once you you get your eye in – all part of its symbolic mutability and whatnot. This week I have mostly been watching & reading, with Eggs and Aliens for The Curios Society as the excuse… The Holy Mountain, The Colour of Pomegranates, El Topo, Picnic at Hanging Rock, A…
Read MoreSpoorloos (1989)
From under a snow-topped blanket, I loved Spoorloos (The Vanishing), George Sluizer’s film is reminiscent of much of Eric Rohmer’s 80s output. Or maybe it’s a fashion thing? ‘Based on Time Krabbe’s The Golden Egg, The Vanishing is a deeply disturbing psychological thriller about a young man’s search for his girlfriend after she disappears at…
Read MoreEggs and Aliens
You’d never know it, but…there has been action. Trapped in Glasgow by snow, I hastily re-wrote my contribution to this sold-out event The Curios Society at the Whitechapel (Saturday 3rd March, 3pm, Whitechapel), so that Eggs and Aliens was delivered by ‘Fiona’, the ‘Scottish’ digital Word voice, who, when slowed down as far as she…

…all part of a larger thing still underway, ready for a showing at Glasgow International later this year.

Yes, there are lots of ways to capture the new BR, particularly from a home-wear and footwear p.o.v. Propsummit is the place to be, as ever, on a lazy Sunday morning. Your daily grind and grungy glamour interlinked… Joe K’s boots can be bought here. While the future of bento boxes is now – buy…
Read More“The best Blade Runner sequel is Peter by Jane Topping.” Matt M. Lloyd
I thought I was done and dusted with Facebook, and then Matt, director of the Glasgow Short Film Festival, posts this smashing endorsement of Peter. I’m hoping my new video, working title Peter 2049 of course, will turn out to be the best Blade Runner sequel sequel. Thanks Matt! http://glasgowfilm.org/glasgow-short-film-festival

Curated by Caroline Stevenson, I’m showing alongside Katy Dove, which is a particular honour. I even got to curate in a couple of tunes: Adagio un poco mosso from Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5…
