Description:
Ever heard of Cut Copy and that song 'Hearts on Fire'? Jaokim's remix makes Lou Reed look like as much of a musician as the drummer man on Swanston Street. He's re-worked Tiga, Annie and Medhi, and put out one hell of a debut album, Tiger Sushi. He only has 14,761 friends on MySpace but, with support from Chestwig, Jean Pierre aka ‘Faz', T-Rek, Luke McD, and Luke Brown&Ricardo Ramos, he might make some more.
Event: DJs
Stimulus: Stack Hats & Lycra
Pornocracy
Catherine Breillat is best known for her films A Ma Soeur! and Romance. If you're a Breillat fan you might have attended last year's Focus on Catherine Breillat at ACMI. In this case, you will know that her films portray a world that is more disquieting than reassuring, more intimate than objective and more corporeal than cerebral.
Land's End
Philippe Genty's puppetry sure has changed since the '80s. Now, instead of a flirtatious exchange between a feather boa and an old camera, there are women with scissors for legs and giant humanoid dragonflies.
And while Genty's creations still manage to make HR Puff'n'Stuff look like a bastion of normalcy, Land's End (a collaboration between Genty and wife Mary Underwood) has a distinctly sober tone.
Bastille Day activities
Pour café / petite dejeuner: While we French purists have been turning our noses up at Vue de Monde (it's Vue du Monde, Monsieur Bennett), its little Café Vue is parfait - including the spelling. Sidle in with Le Monde under your arm, order a noisette (short macchiato) and a lemon and almond croissant that's richer than the Yves Saint Laurent (RIP) suit drinking his latte to your left.
Etat Libre D'Orange perfumes
Got a score to settle with your Nan? Need to deodorise your car? Why not get a bottle of Hotel Slut? Etat Libre D'Orange perfumes are either cashed-up punk like Vivienne Westwood, or try-hard punk like Richard Branson when he reminds people how he used to hang out with Malcolm McLaren.
Choose from aromas such as ‘Don't Get Me Wrong Baby, I Don't Swallow' and ‘Jasmine and Cigarette' - which receives the ThreeThousand prize for best Frenglish blurb.
Spring Court Shoes
"They're turning kids into slaves, just to make cheaper sneakers. What's the real cost cause the sneakers don't seem that much cheaper? Why are we paying so much money for sneakers when they're made by little slave kids?" ‘Think About It' - Flight of The Concords.
NO MORE must we a) support child slavery b) pay so much money for sneakers.
Paris
There are only a handful of cities around the world that popular culture won’t stop mythologising. Yes, this is yet another film about Paris – but after an opening that looks like a slick travel infotainment show, a TV host asks “Who is Paris?” and immediately flubs his lines.
