    OneBeat at Brunnen70
    Wedding basement bar Brunnen70 (guess the address!) will showcase live acts, VJs and DJs playing beats, electronica and dub. We’re most looking forward to a live set from Wermonster, who, among other things, creates tracks from sounds recorded around Berlin… but we imagine the foundant au chocolat cupcakes will also be a big draw. Sweet ;)

  • KulturRaum Zwingli-Kirche

    KulturRaum Zwingli-Kirche is a charitable cultural centre in an old church near Rudolfplatz, Friedrichshain. Berlin Film Society, who are screening La Dolce Vita there this Friday, were kind enough to invite me to photograph the space while they set up. This neo-gothic church is about to undergo a much-needed renovation, so I felt lucky to be able to capture its current state of beautiful decay. If you want to see it before all its edges are ironed out, come to this Friday’s event, for  Italian food and drinks, live jazz, and of course, La Dolce Vita.

      They’re screening La Dolce VIta in a church? That’s going to be the most italian thing in Berlin after Laura Pausini’s concert. It’s a pity I can’t go

    Jiro Dreams of Sushi cast

    We LOVE sushi, and we’re craving some actual good films after the shit we’ve sat through lately (Matrix 2 and 3… WHY?!). That’s why we’re stoked that the Berlin Film Society is showing this feature-length documentary at Agora Collective on Friday: Jiro Dreams of Sushi. We’re going to get there early so we can nom down some free ricepipes and then sink a few in the Hecate pop-up cocktail bar afterwards. You can get tickets on Gidsy, or by emailing [email protected]. Here’s a little taster (!) of the film to whet your appetite (!!):

    A thoughtful and elegant meditation on work, family, and the art of perfection. The story of 85 year-old Jiro Ono, considered by many to be the world’s greatest sushi chef. He is the proprietor of Sukiyabashi Jiro, a 10-seat, sushi-only restaurant inauspiciously located in a Tokyo subway station. Despite its humble appearances, it is the first restaurant of its kind to be awarded a prestigious 3 star Michelin review, and sushi lovers from around the globe make repeated pilgrimage, calling months in advance and shelling out top dollar for a coveted seat at Jiro’s sushi bar. At the heart of this story is Jiro’s relationship with his eldest son Yoshikazu, the worthy heir to Jiro’s legacy, who is unable to live up to his full potential in his father’s shadow.

  • Berlin Horror Story: Yellow the Movie

    by

    We love horror, and we love Berlin, so we were thrilled to hear that director Ryan Haysom has chosen the German capital as the location of his new short film Yellow. We’ve been watching (through our fingers) as Haysom and his talented team film, and crowd-fund, what promises to be a creepy, shocking horror noir. Scroll down to see the first of a series of skin-crawling trailers and to read the director’s synopsis, or visit Yellow – The Movie for a behind-the-scenes peek at this Giallo update. Be afraid, be very afraid.

    Yellow is a 15 minute + short film, written and directed by Italian horror fan Ryan Haysom.

    It is a horror noir set very loosely in the 1980′s, it takes place in the capital of Germany, Berlin. The film follows a reclusive man as he obsesses over finding a serial killer who is slaying women across the city. The film deals with themes of sexual obsession and identity, what is reality, are we awake or asleep?

    Yellow is also a Giallo film – the peculiar thriller horror genre that exploded in 1970s Italy. I love everything about the Italian horror genre, and the key Giallo films that have influenced Yellow are, Dario Argento’s Profondo Rosso, Aldo Lado’s Who Saw Her Die, Lucio Fulci’s The New York Ripper, and Sergio Martino’s Torso. The original Gialli are not the only films that have influenced the production, and I will be doing small posts on the key films that have moulded the look of Yellow.

    The film is already partly financed, we have shot roughly 3 minutes of the film already, and we’re going to be looking at you for the rest of the financing. If you love horror, and want to see a new Giallo film made, then this is your chance to get your black leather gloves on!

    Check out Yellow – The Movie for news on how you can help with the financing of this film. It all begins soon!

    Thanks, Team Yellow x
