We weren’t the only ones who enjoyed watching Werner Herzog’s Twitter/YouTube Q & A session; animator Sacha Ciezata enjoyed the director’s response to David Lynch’s query about saving someone’s life (an obvious prompt to tell the “I saved Joaquin Phoenix! story) so much, he recreated the anecdote in a charming stop-motion animation.

After her 2007 release The Reminder went gold all around the globe, fans of the Canadian songstress Leslie Feist have been chomping at the bit for more tunes from her. Well, this probably doesn’t quite count as new tunage per se, but it is the trailer for what promises to be a great little film about the making of The Reminder and the relationship between Feist and those who helped her get the album to your ears.

There is something about Michelle Williams that we find adorable, perhaps its her Dawson Creek days that we can’t let go or the raw emotion that she throws into each character she portrays. She manages to leave audiences feeling empathic, sensing her character’s vulnerability. Blue Valentine is no different.

We all love cute animations, puppets and ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ right? Well this short film has all three of those things and we must say they make an incredible combination.

Ryan McGinley is a visual artist and photographer who is well known for his dizzying photographs that capture teens at their most freest and almost always naked state. In his latest short film we delve into the worlds of his latest musical obsessions, Smith Westerns and Girls. Not only does their world look amazing but it makes our world seem as dull as white bread without the sprinkles. We want sprinkles dammit!

A bunch of independent filmmakers in Melbourne have banded together to create Nine Feet Teeth, a collaborative project from Beg, Scream and Shout!, Who By Fire (minus Leonard Cohen) and Danger from Deer at the Worker’s Club tomorrow night.

Admittedly, we were a little skeptical of The Social Network at first.
But after a handful of really great trailers, we’re starting to eat our words and start getting psyched for the October 1st release. The release of this new interactive trailer doesn’t hurt, either.

Everything Is A Remix is the first in a four-part online series that attempts to find links between remixes in popular culture and remixes in song. It is an ongoing project for New York-based filmmaker, Kirby Ferguson, who explains his understanding of the art-form on his Official Vimeo Channel:

“Remixing is a folk art but the techniques involved — collecting material, combining it, transforming it — are the same ones used at any level of creation. You could even say that everything is a remix.”

Even though ‘Enter The Void’ film made it’s debut at Cannes late last year it is only just being released this month. Luckily, we managed to catch the entire three hours at MIFF this year and goddamn, were we blown away.

Tout Court proclaim only one thing and that is that they make short films. There’s not much info about them around the traps other than that they hail from France and that the teams consists of two directors – Quentin Carnicelli and Charles Klipfel worked together on this film as part of their Masters from The University of Paris.
