we have shared this video some time ago, but not as an official blog post. so here it is, for you that missed it…
Balance won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short. It’s from Germany and was directed and produced by the twin brothers Wolfgang and Christoph Lauenstein.
“He knows women, and women know him.”
Erotokritos, it’s a strange name for a fashion brand. It’s an even stranger name for a person.
And yet, he is truly called Erotokritos Antoniadis, named after the main protagonist of medieval epic poem, a hero “born from the labors of love”. For 15 years, his label has been seducing women of all ages, drawn to collections that go back and forth between the sophistication of Paris and the dolce vita of Cyprus…
“They call him Monsieur Chypre.”
France and Cyprus, Paris and Nicosia, it’s a long-distance couple.
In Monsieur Chypre, by Antoine Asseraf & René Habermacher, they come to life: Loan Chabanol, channeling the nostalgia of Marguerite Duras’ The Lover, plays the tormented Parisian woman, cracking at the surface, while Constantino Kouyialis, in his first first on-screen role, is a revelation as the seductive eponym hero, a modern day Alexis Zorbas.
“An erotic fashion epic” we call it.
“Erotic,” how could it not be with a name like Erotokritos?
“Fashion,” of course: stylist Michaela Dosamantes, fresh from winning Best Fashion Award at La Jolla Fashion Film Festival for La Main Dans Le Sac, mixes the season’s classic looks to capture the heroine’s transformation from “bluesy” in Vuitton to “red-hot” in Valentino.
And “epic” ? What else do you call a fashion film 10 months in the making, taking place not only in Paris but in numerous locations in Nicosia, in the salt lake facing the Hala Sultan Tekke mosque in Larnaca, in the Almyra and Anassa deluxe hotels, in small taverns by the side of the road, or in the majestic monument carved directed in the stone, the tomb of the Kings in Paphos ? And we haven’t even mentioned the upcoming almost 10 minutes long directors’ cut….
“His voice is a song.”
All this, to the original soundtrack of Lori Schonberg and Shane Aspegren, members of transnational surrealist indie outfit The Berg Sans Nipple.
So, now the tough questions.
Is Cyprus really like this ? A little bit. Not at all. It depends how you look at it.
It is an island of freedom in the east mediterranean, where couples from Israel and Lebanon come to escape religion. It is the birthplace of Aphrodite. You go, you decide.
So how can I meet this Mister Cyprus ? We hear that one a lot. From women (and men) of all ages. Maybe he’s real, maybe he’s a figment of our collective imagination, our repressed desires. One thing’s for sure — we can’t give you his number.
“Attempting to charm him is useless. He is the one who will find.”

Bold is a character with an atypical physic. He is way more taller than his peers, and very brutal in spite of himself. Which led him to be rejected by everyone. Dirt, is just the opposite, it’s a bum small and sickly, constantly struggling for survival. Bold is going to offer a fruit to Dirt, by kindness, but he will obviously take fright. What follows is a chase between the two characters, in a fantastic universe. Until the final ending.

“The sounds of Athens. A foreign reporter struggling to produce her story in the middle of the riots. The empty streets of Paris. A house. A bedroom, a kitchen. Two worlds brought into one. A greek girl, keeping up to her morning habits, while things back home explode. A mysterious connection between her actions and the reporter’s voice. As if she could hear it all. As if she could feel the teargas in her own eyes. As if she truly was there.
This video / film / protest / riot was originally created for KLAP magazine #0 issue, “Back to Origins”, and reedited with a better sound design.”
for you that haven’t seen this post on our facebook page before
excellent animation.
without any words or facial expressions the animators managed to pass the feeling perfectly!
Due to 2012 festival season, Fisher is currently not available to view online… yet, I guess..
Ostracized by his village for being different, Fisher is a lonely being who lives in a small cabin at the edge of the sea. His world is turned upside down one day when in a twist of fate, he is forced out of his comfort zone and thrust into a journey of self discovery.
Directed By Yoram Benz, Music by Marcus Fischer (mapmap.ch).

“What is it to rebicycle? Is it eating raw meat wearing an S&M mask? Is it watering unconscious people in a swimming pool? Is it witnessing another self at the mirror? It is this. And more. In a nutshell, rebicycling is the warm faded yellow of your morning thoughts visiting your mind when you are half asleep…”
