Tomato by Caitlin Craggs


A juicy moving picture about words, the world and a beloved, oft overlooked fruit. Tomato is the first in a series of bite-sized, visually punny films that reconsider some of the most humble and ubiquitous foods on our plate— the ways we define and consume them, and also how those foods might be defining us!

The Accidental Origin of the Hit Song ‘American Woman’ by Great Big Story


The song “American Woman” by The Guess Who wasn’t ever supposed to happen. It wasn’t planned, staged or pre-mediated. Yet you all know the iconic riff. Sometimes all it takes for a hit song to form is an accident, a bit of luck and a whole lot of inspiration. For Randy Bachman and The Guess Who, that’s exactly what happened.

All Day All Night by Del


“All Day All Night” is a short documentary featuring legendary rapper Del the Funky Homosapien (Gorillaz, Deltron 3030, Hieroglyphics). We met in São Paulo in a skateboarding session where he talked about his struggle to improve his flatground ollie and music.

The film builds a parallel between his thoughts and the chaotic urban aesthetic of São Paulo.

Those images came from the b-rolls of the upcoming documentary “Concrete Poetry” that narrates the birth of São Paulo underground hip-hop movement set to be realised in 2017.
