Donde viven los monstruos
Thanks
Donde viven los monstruos (Where the wild things are) es uno de los libros infantiles más vendidos de la historia. Su escritor, Maurice Sendak fue merecedor de la Caldecott Medal, uno de los más prestigiosos premios de literatura infantil, en 1964 por este libro. Ahora, pasados casi 50 años de la edición original, esa pequeña historia de un niño llamado Max que se enfada con su madre y la imaginación lo lleva allí donde están los monstruos, llegará a la gran pantalla. La historia, dirigida por Spike Jonze, nos cuenta el viaje que hace Max a través de un bosque que repentinamente crece en su habitación hacia el mar, donde embarcará días, semanas, meses y años hasta llegar a la isla donde viven los monstruos, seres de grandes dimensiones, peludos y con los ojos amarillos de los que cualquier niño tendría miedo.

The Subconscious Art of Graffiti Removal
Narrator
Graffiti removal: the act of removing tags and graffiti by painting over them. Subconscious art: a product of artistic merit that was created without conscious artistic intentions. It is no coincidence that funding for "anti-graffiti" campaigns often outweighs funding for the arts. Graffiti removal has subverted the common obstacles blocking creative expression and become one of the more intriguing and important art movements of our time.

Getting Stronger Every Day
Editor
"There are two movies I saw on TV about boys who were taken from their families and then returned to them years later. One boy was on a fun spaceship for years and the other boy was kidnapped and molested. These boys were never the same again and they just couldn't re-integrate into the family. I saw these movies when I was little. I've often described them to people, always paired together. They are sort of the comedy and tragedy version of the same story and it is a mundanely spiritual story. Getting Stronger Every Day includes these boys' tales, but they are like mystical objects placed on the living reality of the man storyteller. In other parts of the movie actual mystical objects hover in peoples lives without a myth or story attached. I like to think about how these dimensions interact simply and can be enacted: real life / story / worldly / spirit / video / flat drawing."

The Maestro: King of the Cowboy Artists
Assistant Editor
What happens when a dedicated husband and father quits his job, adopts the persona of a Western-Movie Singing Cowboy, takes on the entire art establishment (including Christo and Andy Warhol), and refuses to accept money for his art ? Meet Gerry Gaxiola, AKA The Maestro, an ex-wage slave who gave up everything to make art for art's sake. The Maestro's story could inspire a whole new generation of Van Goghs.
The Swan Tool
Director
In The Swan Tool, video artist Miranda July combines video, performance, music and helium in a 'live film' about a woman who works for an insurance company. The story unites the earthly and bizarre with a surprising humour and unusual clarity. Lisa (played by July) cannot decide whether she wants to live or die. She digs a hole in her garden and buries herself. Then she tries to carry on with her life, but the thing she left behind in the garden just won't die and she can't forget it either. July finds herself literally in the film; she amalgamates with the medium when she stands between the two screens and, for instance, 'moves' a chair with her hand. The video images vary from photo-realism to abstract amorphous colour combinations. The live accompaniment by DJ Zac Love adds a third dimension to this complex story.
