The 20 Best Foreign Language Films of the Decade As part of our epic, two week long Decade in Review, master of the Foreign Objects Rob Hunter lays down his picks of the best foreign language films of the decade. I can reel off the best foreign films of the year without pause and feel fairly confident that I haven’t missed anything notable, but best of the decade? Adding to the difficulty is the fact that of the thousands of films released each year in other countries very few of them actually ever reach our shores in any official capacity. Then there’s the issue of release dates… do I use the year the film was first released or the year it finally reached the US? There’s way too much gray area here, so we’re going to simplify things a bit. This is my list of the best foreign language films of the past ten years, and I highlight that ownership because I don’t expect it to look too similar to lists put out by most other critics. 3-Iron(Kim Ki-duk, South Korea 2004) Amelie(Jean-Pierre Jeunet, France 2001) Damn I love this movie.

Short Film of the Day: Porcelain Unicorn Why Watch? Because sentimentality never dies. This short got some attention when it won a contest created by the Phillips Corporation which had a few restraining parameters in place. The films could only have six lines of dialogue, and they had to be: What is that? It’s pretty limiting, but this short is a phenomenal example of where limitations can create something truly inspired. What does it cost? Check out Porcelain Unicorn for yourself: Trust us. Collab Camp 2012 - Music Mashups What kinds of projects can we make? Projects submitted to this Camp must be Music Mashups: projects that express, visualize, or interact with music, such as animated music videos, interactive music, and visualizations. You may want to use ideas and scripts from these seedling projects as a starting point for your collaboration. You may also want to check out this gallery of examples. How can collab members coordinate with one another? Some groups use galleries to plan and keep track of each new version of their project. What are Collab Counselors and who are they? Collab Counselors are Scratchers that are here to help answer your questions, provide feedback on your projects, and support you during the Camp. Will some of the projects be featured? After final projects are submitted, we welcome you to provide feedback on the projects in the Camp gallery.

Heike Weber Installations Utterly amazing installations by Heike Weber. She draws with permanentmarkers on acrylic floor and walls – surfaces that have reached up to 600 m2. I can’t begin to imagine how time consuming these breathtaking installations must have been. Via TRIANGULATION Artbase: Browse by Title
