I was so moved after watching this documentary last week, I had to get a copy for myself.
IKEA Singapore Pays Tribute to "The Shining"
vixx error
I am blown away by this video. I have never been much of a fan of vixx but this is just amazing. its not often that you find a main stream kpop group that has an amazing music video. So I'm like proper blown away by vixx my mind can't comprehend it. I loved the cinematography and cgi esecily when they had cyborg heads singing. The video also reminded me of blade runner at times. Over all this is one of my favourite music videos of the year as i love the way it has been done and it has raised the bar for main stream kpop.

Space is the Place - Screening - AfroFuturism - Watershed- 23/10/14
Sun Ra's Space is the place is showing at Watershed as part of their 'Afrofuturism' programme.
'Calling planet Earth, you are cordially invited to experience (or re-experience) the Sun Ra sci fi classic Space Is The Place, one of the most elusive cult music films of all time. Sun Ra was a Pharoah from another galaxy who took the form of philosophical and experimental jazz genius leader of the Intergalactic Arkestra. Travelling through the cosmos in his music fuelled spaceship, Ra discovers a planet where the 'vibrations are different', a world that might serve as a new home for the black humans from Earth, a place where they still struggle to achieve equality. Before our hero can offer the people of Oakland the chance of a new life, he must first do battle with the establishment, as well as a pimpish Devil-like figure known as The Overseer. Whilst earthbound, he manages (but of course) to play some of his most famous songs with the Arkestra. For Ra (born Herman Blount in Birmingham, Alabama, also the birthplace of the Ku Klux Klan), outer space wasn't just a gimmick, a convenient source of song titles and an awesome theme for outfits (there's full on glitter-Egyptian regalia, gold silk tunics and chain mail skull caps galore). It was a zone where racism didn't exist, a place where black people could make their own destinies - just imagine. This is a wonderfully strange filmic adventure, one we should all get on board for - join us for a jazz-flavoured ride into space!
With an introduction by Professor Denenge Akpem, performance artist, designer and lecturer.
