This short animated film ‘Happy Food’ by Yum Yum is great fun and anyone who likes ketchup will be able to remember a time when they found themselves in this situation.
Luckily there would probably not have been any giant hot dogs around.
We featured one of their other films, Parallel Parking some time ago.
Plus, if you like the film you can also get the characters.
Enjoy!

As part of the Cannes Film Festival Prada has launched a short film called ‘A Therapy’, directed by Roman Polanski and starring Helena Bonham Carter and Ben Kingsley in a beautiful 70s setting.
The film was premiered right before the official screening of Polanski’s film Tess.
A great twist at the end.

If you fancy a night out at the cinema then you will have to get your swimming trunks on to see the first edition of Film on the Rocks at the Archipelago Cinema.
Designed by German-born and Beijing-based architect Ole Scheeren, VIP guests were taken by boat through the darkness to arrive on a glowing raft in the middle of the quiet waters of Nai Pi Lae lagoon on Kudu Island.
This beautiful setting is surrounded by a dramatic landscape of towering rocks and the audience experience combined film with nature.
“The thought of watching films here seemed surprising,“ said Ole Scheeren. “A screen, nestled somewhere between the rocks. And the audience… floating… hovering above the sea, somewhere in the middle of this incredible space of the lagoon, focused on the moving images across the water: A sense of temporality, randomness, almost like driftwood. Or maybe something more architectural: Modular pieces, loosely assembled, like a group of little islands that congregate to form an auditorium.“
The design of the Archipelago Cinema was based on techniques used by fishermen to construct floating lobster farms. It was built from recycled materials in modules that allowed flexibility for its future use.
A fantastic experience. Find out more on Arch Daily.

This amusing short animated film about life at Pringle of Scotland was created by artist David Shrigley to celebrate the return of the brand to Milan Fashion Week in 2010.
From a wet Scotalnd to ‘manky wool’, it will certainly make you smile.

If you’re looking for something to keep yourself (or the children) occupied this Easter then download these great model monsters.
They are a promotional tool for a new film called Waste, that I am afraid we know nothing about. But on their website you can download a monster kit and see a demonstration video of how to make it.
There are three to make and we have added the video for one of them below.
Download them all from the Waste website here.

Is it a plane? Is it a bird? No, it’s someone flying through the air above New York City.
Actually these human-shaped RC planes were part of a viral marketing stunt for the launch of a new superhero movie, ‘Chronicle‘.
Amazing video and would have been even better to have seen it in person.
See the video for yourself below

The Dutch postal service has launched the world’s “smallest and shortest film” on a new lenticular stamp. KesselsKramer asked director Anton Corbijn to shoot the one-second film, which features actress Carice van Houten… The result is a small lenticular stamp that contains 30 frames of film. A bit of a lengthy intro…. but would it make it through the British postal system? See more on Creative Review
