Sant Carles at Barceloneta

ana@pop-pervert.com — 2008-08-05T09:54:18+02:00

Last week going to the Barceloneta beach I found an absolutely charming place called Sant Carles... Just near Mercado de la Barceloneta lays a great take-away option for foodies!
Gourmet treats with cheap prices! Homemade pasta, different plat du jour options, lots of fantastic cheeses (including burrata) and many more things... Forget about low quality chiringuito tapas, take yours directly with you ;)

Melody Day by Caribou

ana@pop-pervert.com — 2008-08-04T11:02:08+02:00

I recorded this video last Saturday at the Caribou concert.

It was a pity that the concert was short and really late (3 AM)... Razzmatazz should have hired Caribou to play like a normal concert instead of a Club Session performance... Enjoyed it anyway.. here’s Melody Day

I bought it finally...

ana@pop-pervert.com — 2008-08-02T12:31:49+02:00

I can’t wait to receive it and take lots of pictures!!
:D

Isn’t she beautiful?

Gandules at CCCB - free artsy cinema in Barcelona

ana@pop-pervert.com — 2008-07-29T09:27:47+02:00

Good morning everyone*

Once again Gandules is back in town!
The open-air cinema at CCCB (Centro de Cultura Contemporánea de Barcelona) starts next tuesday! So start checking the line up...
See you there!

()·()·()·()·()·()·()·()·()·()·()·()·()·()·()·()·()·()·

Gandules 08 looks at the theme of interculturality, taking as its starting point an essential film principle: the viewpoint. In the form of fiction, essay and documentary, the films shown during Gandules 08 present works from the West and beyond which deal with two major themes that question the point of view: journeys that lead to another culture and situations of coexisting cultures in a single place.
Gandules 08 extends this year to provide a space for creation, inviting four young filmmakers to make a short film that dialogue with the programme.

NOTE: All the movies begin at 22:00, free admission (but limited capacity!).

-------------------------------------

Week 1

Tuesday 5 August

*Óscar Pérez, If the Camera Blows Up / 2008 / 13' Óscar Pérez lends his camera to a Pakistani so he can send his family his view of Barcelona: his colleagues, a walk in the park... The domestic images he records, sometimes lyrical, sometimes full of humour, rediscover the city and our points of view.
Johan van der Keuken, To Sang Fotostudio / 1997 / 35' To Sang's photo studio in Amsterdam is visited by traders from every corner of the world: Dutch from Hollywood Hair wig shop, Chinese jewellers, Pakistanis from the Sari Centre, Kurdish restaurateurs, the Surinamese from Capricho travel agency...
Martin Scorsese, Italianamerican / 1974 / 49' Scorsese films a portrait of his parents, Italian immigrants in New York. While his mother, Catherine, picks him up on his badly formulated questions and shows him how to make meatballs, his father tells stories of things that happen outside the home. An intimate and humorous family film.

Wednesday 6 August

Hou Hsiao-Hsien, Le voyage du ballon rouge / 2007 / 113' In his first film shot in Europe, Hou Hsiao-Hsien tells the story of an actress (Juliette Binoche) who works with a puppet company, a Chinese student in Paris, the little boy she looks after and the imaginary world they share.
Thursday 7 August
Rainer W. Fassbinder, Ali, Fear Eats the Soul / 1974 / 93' Emmi, a 60-year-old widow and cleaner, meets Salem, a 30-year-old Moroccan, in an immigrants' bar. They start going out together, leading to Emmi's rejection by her children, neighbours and colleagues.
-------------------------------------

Week 2

Tuesday 12 August
**Werner Herzog, Encounters at the End of the World / 2007 / 99'. Spanish premiere!!!!! Herzog travels to one of the Earth's most remote, sparsely populated corners: Antarctica. There he meets its exotic, solitary inhabitants: naturalists, geologists, philosophers and scientists who live with penguins and seals, threatened by climate change. This is a humanistic, funny and sensitive portrait of one of the last natural reserves. Cultures in a territory without culture.

Wednesday 13 August
Serge-Henri Moati, Les cow-boys sont noirs / 1966 / 15' A taxi-driver, a mechanic and workers film the first African western. Moati filmed the making of this wild and woolly project.
Aki Kaurismaki, La vie de bohème / 1992 / 100' A painter (Rodolfo), a writer (Marcel), a musician (Schaunard) and a dog (Baudelaire) are what remains of Parisian bohemia. They live in poverty but without renouncing their ideals or their friendship-between Boris Vian, Mozart and rock, between comedy and tragedy.

Thursday 14 August
*Lope Serrano, Akemi Negishi / 2008 / 2' A piece of animation featuring the face and body of Akemi Negishi, the actress who plays Keiko in The Saga of Anatahan.
Josef von Sternberg, The Saga of Anatahan / 1953 / 92' A group of shipwrecked Japanese soldiers reach an island that is apparently deserted, but home to a beautiful woman and her husband. The woman awakens the desire of the men, who start competing to win her. When they receive a communiqué informing them of the end of the war and Japan's defeat, they choose to believe it is a trap laid by the enemy and continue their obsessive dispute for Keiko. The camera and voice of Sternberg mark out the rhythm of this mythical film about the men's fascination with the woman.

-------------------------------------

Week 3

Tuesday 19 August

Chris Marker and Alain Resnais, Les statues meurent aussi / 1953 / 30' A condemnation of colonialism and the perverting influence of Western eyes on African art, this documentary was banned by the French censors for over a decade.
Ousmane Sembène, La noire de... / 1966 / 65' Diouana, an illiterate woman, works in Dakar looking after the children of a white bourgeois couple. This is post-colonial Senegal. When her employers ask her to accompany them to Antibes, where they are spending their holidays, her situation changes: a France she is exploited and forced to do all kinds of household chores. Jean Vigo Prize at Cannes.

Wednesday 20 August
*Andrés Duque / No es la imagen, es el objeto / 2008 / 10' "How long could you spend looking at this picture card?", Pedro P. asks José Sirgado in Arrebato. "I've also kept my favourite childhood album. It's called ‘Hombres, razas y costumbres'. Each page provides me with new interpretations, sometimes imprecise and strange, about who we are and what the world is." (A. D).
Youssef Chahine, Destiny / Al-Massir / 1998 / 125' In 12th-century Andalusia, Averroes is pursued by fundamentalists. A film about mixed race, full of sensuality, inebriation, dance, singing and love interest. A musical, an adventure film, a melodrama; a hedonistic mix of genres and styles that condemns today's fundamentalism and celebrates freedom of thought.

Thursday 21 August
Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, The Promise / 1996 / 93' Igor is 15 and apprenticed as a mechanic to his father, who exploits illegal immigrants in exchange for false papers. One day, Igor makes a promise: that he will look after the wife and son of a Ghanaian worker. One of the most realistic and sensitive portraits of immigration in European society.

-------------------------------------

Week 4

Tuesday 26 August

*Isa Campo and Isaki Lacuesta, Alpha and again / 2008 / 22' Alpha is a political refugee from Darfur who lives in Melbourne. His personal experience shows us a series of unending digressions in a country built by immigrants, where the refugee camps and detention centres are worthy of a Kafka short story.
Bob Connolly, Robin Anderson, Black Harvest / 1992 / 90' Joe, mixed-race son of an Australian gold prospector and an aborigine from New Guinea, sets up a coffee plantation with his step-brothers of the Ganiga tribe. Over a series of years, Connolly and Anderson filmed the thrilling and fascinating story of a project to reconcile two cultures which gradually breaks down. Wednesday 27 August

Octavio Cortázar, Por primera vez / 1966 / 9' The inhabitants of a village in Cuba who have never seen a motion picture discover the cinema with the showing of Chaplin's Modern Times.
Jean Rouch, La pyramide humaine / 1961 / 90' Rouch suggests that a group of European and African students from a school in Abidjan (Ivory Coast) make a film together. This shared cinematographic experience helps them discover a way of expressing their political and sentimental conflicts. A film full of invention, in which the youngsters play themselves in all the fleeting beauty of youth.

Thursday 28 August
Joâo César Monteiro, À flor do mar / 1986 / 133' An Italian translator and her children, a shipwrecked North American man, a house overlooking a bay on the Portuguese coast, a hot summer. Somewhere between adventure story, romanticism, melancholy and satire, between Rossellini and Godard, this is a film full of light and air. * In-house productions commissioned to young directors.

Picnic at Hanging Rock VS. The Virgin Suicides

ana@pop-pervert.com — 2008-07-21T12:02:09+02:00

Yesterday had the chance to see a classic movie called “Picnic at Hanging Rock”... knew some things about it but was stunned by the cinematography and the overall beauty. Amazing scenes, light games and psychedelic effects.
Felt like watching Sofia Copula's inspiration before making The Virgin Suicides...The soundtrack is mostly pan-pipe music but if they were changed into synths could have been made by Air easily.

A perfect sunday aussie movie.

itte ladies @ El Mundo newspaper

ana@pop-pervert.com — 2008-07-18T15:05:31+02:00

partial translation from the interview...
........................................................

“Slowly but surely”

“A perfect tandem between Alex, the business brain with enviable skills learned in New York and Ana, an unstoppable torrent of creativity with a degree in Fine Arts.”

“The success came quickly, and with it the big clients like L'Oreál or Biotherm ... but something did click inside the two, pro entrepreneurs but bon vivants deep inside”

“Proudly they explain what they are doing now is slow design....”

“I did not want to simply do style exercises. Design is a process, requires research to reach a solid concept -says Ana- who defines herself as a ravenous of images by historicist spirit. What translated means: addicted to magazines, blogs, and at the same time scanning design in their purest sources -like 18th century japanese ornaments-”

“From this crossing between modernity and crafts, projects arise as a) Pop Pervert (itte studio’s b-sides), where you can find from their own sketches to the Kinks covers; b) a collection of ideal t-shirts, T_Milk, with handmade illustrations sale on-line and c) the major launch, Pattern Tales: a collection of more than 120 prints that they inhale to cover something more than walls (houses, fridges, textiles, anything and everything).”

Historic Fashion WIP gets better...

Both designs were created with the same initials “M” and “P” and following the client’s brief: minimal, cold chromatism, typographic..

Out of three which one is your favorite?

ana@pop-pervert.com — 2008-07-14T17:24:11+02:00

MIAMI Top 10 foodie musts - first edition by Alex!

ana@pop-pervert.com — 2008-06-03T09:21:00+02:00

Alex, my business partner just arrived from Miami and she wants to share with you all her food and libations TOP-10...
yummy!

Thanks Alex!

·························

1. BEST CAFÉ CON LECHE: Versailles on Little Havana, while there try the warm cheese and guava pastry, so addictive! (had 3 non-stop, who cares about summer coming up)

2. BEST MEXICAN: new Rosa Mexicano in posh Brickell area, yes its a scene- avoid it during happy hour- but must try the chicken flautas and tortilla soup, órale!

3. BEST VENEZUELAN BREAKFAST: tiny European Bakery on Sunset Blvd...the best desayuno criollo in town (black beans, eggs, shredded cheese and hand made arepa)

4. BEST NON-STOP HARASSING MEAT FEAST: Porçao on Brickell area...don't go if you have heart problems, on a diet or can't take a 3 hour rodizio meal, ask for the picanha, best Brazilian meat.

5. BEST CUBAN SANDWICH: Sergio's on Coral Way...they called it “vaca frita” (fried cow) so yummy and comes with homemade yuca sticks.

6. BEST BURGER: Houston's on Aventura (humongous size, need a bigger mouth just to eat it, yep i ate it all!

7. BEST JUICES: El Palacio de la Fruta on Little Havana....so cheesy, so local, so juicy....try the papaya all natural juice or take home the 1QT exotic fruit salad, una bomba!

8. BEST DINER: yes, we love Jimmy's, so cheap and mix of clientele: policemen, travesties, senior citizens, old-style families, secret lovers, love it! Try the 3 layer banana pancake..hmmm hmmm

9. BEST EDAMAME EVER: Domo Japones on Miami Design District..yes, it's hip and NY pretentious but believe us... the best sauté black edamame with sweet soy and yuzu...

10. BEST BEAR HANGOUT: The Abbey on Miami Beach....a joint, ask for the local organic brewery ones...don't tell “tourists” though, will spoil it and bring white lounge sofas and house music.

**ta-ta! or Miami Cuban slang “ya tu sabes”....
Thanks to my sister's big belly sponsorship*

Note: I know that this picture has nothing to do with the TOP-10... except that it was taken long time ago in Miami... but I wanted to use it anyway.
;)

STAYING ALIVE...

Alex is back from Miami and she wants to share a breakfast recommendation with a disco fever touch:

After a well deserved holiday...while in sunny Miami (not really, it rained almost every day), found the best local spot in the new Upper East Side hood. If tired of the Miami see-&-be-seen ambiance, just stop at Jimmy´s Eastside Diner on 7201 Biscayne Blvd...a true old fashioned diner experience, and wait gets better...Bee Gees brothers used to have breakfast there almost everyday! (our little secret..shhh)..checkout for the entrance memorabilia, so fun.
