Autumn story


Autumn days in London. And no rain. Stumbled upon a gem @ Hoxton square. Unconventionally but convincingly, File DVD brings a genius mix of new media and superbly designed print. A 124 page newsprint including 186 minutes of short films, music videos and documentaries on DVD. Worthwile, if only for the exhilarating cover of Brigitte Bardot, The Flower Session. Photographed by Sam Levin, 1967.

And so I discovered Firekites' poetic song and video Autumn Story. The short video uses chalk animation: it reverses the drawing by using white chalk on black chalkboards where the trace is the dusted out image.

Autumn days in London: we don't want these days to ever end.

PS. Download the Firekites album The Bowery on iTunes.
