Another one from the Anti/Type archives this week. Back in 2010, we pretended to be as cool as Kelly Joe Phelps and Corinne West on a date of their current tour. We all snacked at a pub together before the gig, and Anti/Type ordered and shared a bowl of nachos. At the time we thought this was all very American and cool - eating 'chos and discussing our craft - but in hindsight we were grown men enthusing about colour correction whilst battling over an avocado dip with greasy corn based snacks. Come to think of it, some nachos sound pretty ...
At the tail end of last year Anti/Type was coaxed out of the house by Short Night Films with the promise of crisps and fine music. Both materialised at Cafe Oto in London. Anti/Type opted for salt & vinegar, avoiding all but the 3 primary flavours out of mistrust or, possibly, snobbery. And the music was indeed fine. At an evening compered by Tin Angel's first couple Devon Sproule and Paul Curreri, Glasgow based outfit Two Wings performed their heady concoction of fairport-esque folk rock and psychedelic explorations, which included their debut single 'Eikon' - now available from Tin Angel ...
The collective digestive track of Anti/Type is a relatively prehistoric organ, having not much changed since the time George Lucas was thought to be a good director, so we've spent most of January like a beached whale full of mince pies watching Christmas become but a distant memory. But now having fully digested said pies, we've got 2012's newest item for you - one from archives that, along with the recent posters, kicks off what will be a bumper year for Anti/Type. Here's (r), the moniker for the unique Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo and Daniele Pagliero, playing Taylor Johns House in June last ...
We like a good bit of artwork here at Anti/Type. And so the latest of our films to get the poster treatment is The Fourth Wall. Even though it's kind of already had the poster treatment with the previous two Meta-Posters. In fact, there's a third Meta-Poster below. Thinking about it, it's more poster than film. Actually, no - it's the longest film we've made. Not that that makes it the best. Nor does it not. It's comprehensive, let's just settle with that. The Fourth Wall is a comprehensive production. Oh, just look at the pretty pictures. And, as promised, the third and final ...
It's been a whole year since Devon Sproule released her last album, Live in London. This was of course, a live album (in London),and we all know that doesn't count. So it hasn't been a year. Wait, hang on. Scratch all of that. Its been two whole years since Devon Sproule released her last album of original material, the acclaimed Don't Hurry for Heaven, and we're guessing we're probably not in the minority in getting all excited when we heard there was a new album on the way. The quite beautiful I Love You, Go Easy is, quite beautiful. If Anti/Type ...
Now we've had a month or so to recover and take stock, we'd like to thank everyone who attended Anti/Night and helped make it a success. We'd also like to thank everyone who took the time to give their feedback; it gave us a new found strength in ignoring bad reviews (kidding of course; we've always been good at ignoring bad reviews). The night itself was down to the wire, but everything fell into place. Well, we sort of pushed them into place. Sort of jammed them quite violently into place, really. But various pieces were in various places and we ...
Well, here it is. As you may know, we recently celebrated Anti/Night, where we screened our five latest films (and the stress of which now feels like a fading memory after the large amount of near comatose sleep we have since enjoyed). To kick off the night, we screened the trailer for one of our previous productions. That films was The Seventh, and today we're uploading it in it's entirety. Shot back in 2009, and completed last year, The Seventh stands as our most visually expansive short, taking you through dense forests to bare horizons to cliff-tops, through night and day and ...
Over the past three years, Anti/Type has worked with musicians from across the globe, run filmmaking workshops for the financially challenged and crewed out on any project with the cojones to take us. In the very few quiet moments between all this palaver, we like to try and find the time to work on a project or two of our own. Lately, we’ve been doing just that - beavering away on more than just one or two projects in a way we like to imagine is very clandestine and mysterious. So as all this covert hard work is drawing to its ...
We told you we were busy. Sifted from 100 years of photos and testimony, Baba Yaga is something a little different from us here at Anti/Type. In 1906, prominent archeologist Nicholas Marsh traveled to southwest Russia to excavate a new site. He took along his young family and his Victorian values. He found to his tragedy that neither had their place there. A story about the shortsightedness of colonialism, how history resonates in every conflict and the illusions of cultural bias, Baba Yaga will be screening very shortly.
I know it's difficult to tell from the other side of the internet, but Anti/Type has been a hive of activity lately. With five films nearing completion and an impending screening night (more details to come) we're going to start the ball rolling tonight. Here's a poster and synopsis for our film Two Men. Shot over a series of increasingly cold days earlier this year, it's now in the final stages of post production, and we're very excited to share it with you all. There will be lots more coming soon, mark our words. In an anonymous field, two men dig a ...
Top List #2: They will hurt you with their words. And quite often their weapons.
Top List #1: Starting from the beginning.
Kelly Joe and Corinne, back to show us how it’s done.
The new kids on the block. But they are not kids. And there is no block. Oh, how misleading the cliche-metaphor hybrid can be!
Another one from the archives to blow the New Year cobwebs away (I know what you’re thinking and yes, the Anti/Type archives are a lot like the warehouse at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark) – unique Italian duo (r).
Plus Lost Meta-Poster 3! Don’t say we never treat you.
We’ve got a new Devon Sproule video. This cannot be a bad thing.
Done, dusted, rested, reloaded. Thank you to all who supported us!
