The writer-director who shot her "Lost in Translation" at the Park Hyatt in Tokyo, practically making a character out of the antiseptic structure, will set her next film at the iconic Chateau Marmont in Hollywood.

Stephen Dorff and Elle Fanning will star in the Focus Features dramedy "Somewhere," which Coppola penned.

Story centers on a bad-boy actor stumbling through a life of excess at the Chateau Marmont. With an unexpected visit from his 11-year-old daughter, he is forced to reexamine his life.

The filmmaker, who said she has been looking to make "an intimate story set in contemporary Los Angeles," received permission to shoot at the hotel, which has become notorious in recent years as a popular address for tabloid-friendly celebs. Film will lense in L.A. and Italy in June and July. Variety



SAN DIEGO- On April 25th, Invisible Children, a media-based organization dedicated to ending Africa’s longest-running war is going global for their third and largest Awareness Event to date: a 100-city, nine country rally called the RESCUE, to demand attention for the plight of children abducted and forced to fight as soldiers in the Lord’s Resistance Army, terrorizing Central East Africa over the last two decades.

For 23 years, the region has been consumed by conflict. Despite a ceasefire called between the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and Ugandan government, efforts toward peace were stalled on several occasions by Kony’s refusal to sign the final peace agreement. In early 2009, the Ugandan government and surrounding countries launched a military operation intended to defeat the LRA and capture the rebel leader. The LRA retaliated by murdering and displacing thousands of civilians, while abducting hundreds of children to fight amongst its ranks. A war originally contained within Uganda’s borders has now evolved into a widespread regional crisis, prompting massive international attention.

The RESCUE is a radically unique event, unlike Invisible Children’s previous events ‘Global Night Commute’ and ‘Displace Me’ that had 150 000 collectively sleeping in the streets across the country for the displaced people of northern Uganda. The RESCUE requires participants to ‘abduct themselves for the abducted’. Thousands of people will travel by foot to a location in each city that will become their ‘LRA’ base, where they will refuse to leave until a senator, politician or public figure ‘RESCUES’ them by making a public statement on behalf of child soldiers.

mY Indie Soul # 29

Before the arrival of our next guests , Konntinent , How to Cure Dyslexia and Codes in de Clouds , a new Indie Soul .
With a large German flavor and with an incredible amount of different music influences and styles.

Anyway today im felling a bit sick , was the whole week kinda tired and at my work only 120% is acceptable , i'm very happy with it.

I've decided to make this Indie Soul in the memory on my lovely beautiful mobile that lies in the bottom of a canal together with the keys from my house , car , work locker , my bank pass and my favorite party pants that i had almost for 8 years.

mY Indie Soul # 29
Listen \ Download

Konntinent - Nassau Tree
Great record , what i like more about is how he can combine textures in a very relaxed and simple way , Nassau Tree is a great track that in some ways is a reminder of the smashing Ben Frost Theory of Machines.
There are some other ideas , Drone and Glitch with post-rock splashes , not easy to easy find . So we could call it "Post-Somewhere".

Kurt Vile - Songs for John in D
Really like the simplicity and strings arrangements of this song , a simple idea is always the best.

Ametsub - Faint Dazzlings
Another great record , lots of lovely piano with a arcade of beats and kicks in Idm shape

Cheju - Scattered [ Electricwest Remix ]
I was listening to the last Cheju album , what i liked most about it , was the Electricwest remix , fantastic piece of electronic music and better Idm.

Bop & Despot - Song About My Dog
Got my attention because of the tags of the record , Drum 'n Bass and Idm , i'm not gonna miss that one , hoping to year more from this guys if they follow this direction.

Flying Lotus - Visions of Violet 1
Another great mash of Steven Ellison aka Flylo , did you know that his great-aunt was Alice Coltrane ?

Damero Feat. Apparat - Passage to Silence
Apparat is probably the artist with more presences on mY Indie Soul , always welcome for more.

Padded Cell - Beautiful Gloom
One of my favorites records from 2008 .

Woolfy VS Projections - The Chase
Top Fav from last year , magisterial track , must listen .

Moderat - Porc#2
Apparat vs Modeselektor , my fav track from the album , funny think , the first track of the album also has that theory of machines sort of rambling bass ben frost type. To be honest i guess i expected a bit more of these gentleman.

Siriusmo - Nights Off
Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary aka Modeselektor have started a brand new label , Monkeytown Records , Siriusmo 6track ep is a warm up for a album debut later this year.

In Flagranti - Pick a Trick
Super track , fresh , has nothing to do with the rest of the album.

Das Bierbeben - Dunkle Tage
Recently released on Shitkatapult , really nice piece of album , entertaining and not boring at all.

Kap Bambino - Acid Eyes
The return of the bad ass , one thing is different , the pitch is lower witch is kinda strange.

It was a twist of fate that brought about Modeselektor and Apparat’s reunion in the spring of 2008. Szary and Bronsert, both proud fathers, were on their way to the "Stadtbad Mitte" (Berlin-Mitte City Pool) with their children for their regular Monday swimming lessons when they ran into Ring, a devout bachelor who happened to be accompanied by several dubious females. After a battering of verbal abuse, the three gentlemen quickly made peace and decided to get back to work on their collaborative album post haste. Thus, Moderat was reformed.

In recording Moderat’s self-titled album, the three men began by renting studio space at the legendary Berlin Hansa Studios (where Bowie recorded Heroes) in order to record the album in analog with the help of the studio’s vintage tube technology and an old EMI console from 1972, restored especially for Moderat. American software designer, Joshua Kit Clayton, was hired to program a superb reverb algorithm s! pecifically for the recording process of this album. This exquisite sound design is one of the reasons why the promotional copies can be listened to only in mono. Finished copies will, of course, be in full stereo.Bpitch

The Disposable Film Festival was created in 2007 to celebrate the artistic potential of disposable video: short films made on non-professional devices such as one-time use video cameras, cell phones, point and shoot cameras, webcams, computer screen capture software, and other readily available video capture devices. With people everywhere posting videos online, we felt the time was right to draw attention to the creative potential of this new mode of filmmaking. Far beyond its initial roles for video blogging and documentation, the DFF offers a forum to display how disposable media can be used for creative purposes. The DFF hosts screenings, competitions, and other events to showcase the best work within the disposable genre.

Designed for the Red Bull Music Academy 08, Guten Touch is an interactive installation that involves people into a natural relationship with technology. A two projected display system plus a 3m x 2m multitouch wall showcase applications designed to engage us into human friendly experiences rather than flashy and jaw-dropping visualizations. Space Invaders hitted by foam balls, pixel paintings created with brushes and digital objects holded by hands try to blur boundaries between real and digital.

It was on an October night, in Paris. We went to a pub, made some noise outside with a German band. Kele, Bloc Party's singer, went out. We asked him to sing. He said no. We asked again, he said 'yes but'. Then, we asked again...

"Touching Down Lightly is a new full-length (surprise) album out on the Creative Sources imprint. This is not the song-based album , started early 2007 (still unfinished for now). "Touching Down Lightly" is the result of one day of improvisation at Soma Electronic Music Studio late November 2008: a way to create fresh, intuitive music, to play instantly, to avoid thinking during months before recording a single sound. This CD will be just one long piano piece (47 minutes), described as "full of silences, soft piano notes, and very long sustains".Microsuoni

At SVA, everyone graduating has to complete a thesis. As Computer Art majors, we started the process at the beginning of our junior year.

From the beginning, I knew I wanted to have my thesis about dreams and lucid dreaming. (The subject has always fascinated me. My AP Art portfolio in high school was also about dreams!) Coming up with a story, however, was hard. I wanted to make it about my own dreams, so it started out as someone just traveling through all these random dreams. After coming up with concept art and storyboarding it all out, I realized that it was just too long and confusing.

So, I picked out one of my favorite dreams, where I'm flying, and transform into a hawk. It needed some sort of storyline, so I incorporated another dream where I "wake up" and fly out my bedroom window.
