'Henry & Sunny' join the rebel clowns of Amsterdam....

Following our recent Amsterdam screening we received an exciting mail from the - wait for it! - Amsterdam Rebel Clowns . The Rebel Clowns enjoyed our film so much they've invited us to join forces and plan to showcase 'Henry & Sunny' at forthcoming 'infonights'. We are - as you can imagine - simply thrilled!

Rebelact, the Amsterdam battalion of the Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army is looking for fools and rebels, radicals and rascals, tricksters and traitors, mutineers and malcontents to join its ranks.

You could be part of a fighting force armed with ruthless love and fully trained in the ancient art of clowning and non-violent direct action. You could learn ingeniously stupid tactics that baffle the powerful.

You don't need to like clowns or soldiers, you just need to love life and laughter as much as rebellion. If you think you've got what it takes then follow your future red nose & join Rebelact, the Amsterdam battalion of C.I.R.C.A.!

Like all armies, people who wish to join, have to undergo training. Before going into battle with Rebelact, recruits take part in intensive 'Bigshoe Camps' lasting approximately three days for the Basic Rebel Clown Training. At the end of the training you will be capable of taking on Rebel Clown Army mission. Becoming a clownbattant can be challenging, but it's a rewarding life.

Rebelact offers you a weekend training, that takes anybody and everybody on a journey to find their inner clown, release the spontaneous self, learning how to cooperate in a group, to do some very basic physical and narrative improvisation. We also cover the universal rebel clowning techniques. These are the tools you'll need to join Rebelact.

Amsterdam, Articulation(s)...

We're delighted with the feedback we've received from Henry & Sunny's screening in Amsterdam on Tuesday night. It sounds like the film went down a treat!

Don't forget to take a look at kortefilmonline (see last post) for details of further Dutch adventures.

Hopefully we'll have news of more screenings in the coming weeks so stay tuned!

International Film Festival Rotterdam...

Thanks to the wonderful efforts of a few kind hearted Henry & Sunny fans in Amsterdam we've been able to submit our film for the International Film Festival of Rotterdam.

In cooperation with NPS (a Dutch public broadcaster) the festival will show all submissions online. The editors will select three films every month from which a jury will choose the winner of that month.

After one year, the winners will be shown at the International Film Festival of Rotterdam in 2011 and the overall winner will receive the New Arrivals Award during the festival.

If you haven't yet seen 'Henry & Sunny' you can view it at Korte Film Online

Feel free to rate the film and leave a friendly comment!

'Henry & Sunny' go Dutch!!!

We are thrilled to announce 'Henry & Sunny' will screen in Amsterdam tomorrow night (Tuesday, March 23) as part of Articulation(s) - an international workshop run by the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis.

Articulation(s) - ASCA International Workshop 2010

How do we analyze, understand, and participate in the world? What are the ways in which we can think through concepts such as aesthetics, identity, politics, and space to articulate the object(s) of our inquiry?

These are a few of the questions the 2010 ASCA International Workshop, "Articulation(s)," seeks to explore. The workshop offers a space in which we can reflect upon such questions and the methodological nuances, theoretical consequences, and political implications that arise when we interrogate (trans)national theories, disciplines, and contested object(s).

With its double meaning, to express and to connect, articulation(s) highlights the contingency of the unities of meaning and of discourse(s) that we ascribe to our object(s) in question. Articulation(s) is a generative concept that has been prominent in shaping theory for decades. Working (inter)disciplinarily in the humanities, articulation(s), as a travelling concept, refers to the engaging of objects, concepts, and theories and the (im)possibilities of interrogation.

In this workshop articulation(s) is presented in relation to four distinct themes that we will (re)articulate and/or interrogate to see whether they help us express the relationships between theories, discipline, and object(s) from our various fields.

These issues will be discussed in four panels:

* National Identity
* Migratory Aesthetics
* Space
* Politics of Mourning

The 2010 ASCA International Workshop: Articulations will take place March 22-24, 2010 at the University of Amsterdam. The deadline for proposals is October 31, 2009. For more information about the workshop and how to submit a proposal, please click the Call for Papers link.
