EVENT

Being John Malcovich, Adaptation and Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. Charlie Kaufman films are a kaleidoscope of journeys. And then just when you find a focal point he re-winds/fast-forwards/ flips the kaleidoscope and you are left adjusting your wonky 3-D glasses. I'm sure his latest venture Synecdoche, New York with Philip Seymour Hoffman will follow a similar path to not sure where. Enjoy.

Q&A Charlie Kaufman & Samantha Morton + Film Preview,
Curzon Soho
Monday 11 May 6.30pm

Photographer Julius Shulman

Eric Bricker’s documentary, Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman

Highly prolific architectural photographer, Shulman started his career in 1936 snapping images of a Richard Neutra house in Palm Springs with his 'vest-pocket' Kodak camera. At 97 years old, he lives amongst his archive of modernism.

"..Pack bags, call cabs" Magnetic Fields 69 Love Songs

Last day office protocol: They take you out for lunch. Serve plum tart for tea. If A3 recycled sheets get stuck in the photocopier you may well just leave it for someone else to deal with.

And you actually consider 'borrowing' a mountain of bic biros and 1 prit stick.

(Just hope nobody checks my satchel on the way out)

To collage

Who needs to leave the UK?

Photos by Olivia Mann taken 1 year ago. I don't expect the Norfolk landscape has changed much since and Eli Lee is probably still wearing the same uber-converse (albeit in Sydney).





Paris continue

The Bride



The guests + the vanilla macaroons . There had been a queue but we got there before it was too late.
