A supercut by Korean filmmaker Kogonada of director Wes Anderson’s obsession with symmetry.

And while we’re on the subject, check out Wes Anderson Palettes – a pleasingly ordered tribute to another of the director’s trademarks: colour harmony.

A nifty monologue about the paranoia caused by matching pace with a fellow pedestrian and the pains we take to avoid it.

Directed, shot & edited by Vania Heymann, Written by and starring Daniel Koren (who also did the music).

The surreal sight of an abandoned open air cinema in Egypt’s Sinai Desert.

According to photographer Kaupo Kikkas (helluva name), the story goes that, 13 years ago, a  Parisian film buff in Egypt had a glorious dream.

Raising the necessary capital back in France, he travelled to Cairo where he bought projection equipment, a generator and a tractor to erect the sail-like screen.

On opening night however, the generator was allegedly sabotaged by miffed local authorities. The premiere was cancelled and, to this day, the cinema hasn’t shown a single film.

It must happen. And when it does, let it be Dune.

Just two years after reopening, our little cinema has been voted as ‘Highly Commended’ runner up in The Guardian Film Awards for Best Cinema 2014. (They also commended World War Z, but still…)
