OBJECTIFIED
“Witty, engaging and exquisitely crafted’’ Variety
Objectified is the second in a trilogy of design related documentaries directed by Gary Hustwit. The follow up to the hugely successful Helvetica, Objectified examines our complex relationship with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them. It’s a look at the creativity at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. It’s about the designers who re-examine, re-evaluate and re-invent our manufactured environment on a daily basis. It’s about personal expression, identity, consumerism and sustainability. Through verité footage and in-depth conversations, the film documents the creative processes of some of the world’s most influential product designers including Apple’s Jonathan Ive, Dieter Rams of Braun, and Smart Design founders Davin Stowell and Dan Formosa, and looks at how the things they make impact our lives. What can we learn about who we are, and who we want to be, from the objects with which we surround ourselves?
Tickets for both screenings (Tuesday 2nd June (nearly sold out) with Q&A with director Gary Hustwit and Ciaran O'Gaora (Zero-G) / Friday June 19th) can be bought here http://www.ifibooking.ie/bookingmovieDetails.tpl?showcode=6414

BEAUTIFUL LOSERS
“A celebration of people and community, what can happen when like-minded individuals really get it together” The Los Angeles Times
In New York in the early ’90s, a group of like-minded outsiders found themselves at the heart of an arts movement born out of skateboarding, punk, hip-hop and graffiti. Based in Aaron Rose’s Lower East Side Alleged Gallery, they made art that reflected the lifestyles they led and developed their craft with almost no influence from the ‘establishment’ art world. As the director of Beautiful Losers, Rose has gathered together former collaborators such as Harmony Korine, Mike Mills, Cheryl Dunn, Barry McGee and Shepard Fairey to share their experiences of this time and examine the effect they had on the art world. Beautiful Losers is a wonderful celebration of grass-roots creativity in which a do-it-yourself, independent ideology reigns supreme.

ALL TOMORROW'S PARTIES : THE DOCUMENTARY
The Warp Films All Tomorrow's Parties documentary goes behind the scenes at the world famous alternative festival held in an out-of-season holiday camp on the coast of England. The cult music festival All Tomorrow’s Parties has, since 1999, served up a heady combination of alternative music, film screenings, crazy golf and chalet-living, all curated by a single band or artist. This DIY concert film is a semi-found bricolage made from Super8, camcorder and mobile phone footage, much of it contributed by more than two hundred filmmakers, fans and musicians over the festival’s recent history, with key contributions from Jonathan Caouette (Tarnation) and Vincent Moon. It features an eclectic mix of some of the most influential or groundbreaking artists that have appeared at ATP including Battles, Sonic Youth, Belle And Sebastian, Grinderman, Iggy and the Stooges, and Portishead.
Producer Luke Morris will introduce the film. Tickets are available for the Saturday 20th screening here http://www.irishfilm.ie/stf2009/festival_calendar.htm
