Tonight I'm going to the launch party for the Czech branch of Future Shorts, a worldwide monthly festival of short films. Above is On S'Embrasse, a short from 2000 that was part of the February (love-themed) package. They're also playing it tonight- it's super sweet. Beirut's video for "Elephant Gun" was also shown in Feb. I'm more into this guy's aesthetic than his music- the video is like a cupcake for your eyes.
The show tonight is at Svetozor, an arthouse theater that's attached to a shop selling vintage and original Czech posters of beloved films. As if the originals weren't cool enough! As much as I want the Princesse Tam Tam bathing suit in this fancy boutique across the street as my European souvenir, my next stop is back to Seattle rather than the French Riviera. So I'll definitely be picking up a couple of these plakáty for my walls...if any of you want me to look for a particular one, let me know! Here's the Czech version for two of my favorite movies.
Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless:
Andrei Tarkovsky's Solaris (though I like the new version with George Clooney better):
And I have to show you the one for Godard's Pierrot le Fou ("Crazy Pete"!), which I haven't seen yet:
Beautiful!!
