Film about a musician and snowboarders on new routes
"Follow Me Down explores a theme that anyone driven by some immeasurable passion will recognise — that there are no easy rides in life."

The film will premiere with the live-performance 'Variation On A Theme' by Unkle on 7 September in London. On the website, you will find the trailer and a free download of the new track 'Set No Sun'...

Trailer: Fashion Weeks in Salzburg's Old City
The Fashion Weeks in Salzburg Altstadt ('Altstadt' means 'Old City') from 25 Aug to 18 Sept are teasered with the short video trailer. By searching through the extensive program of fashion shows by Austrian labels like the head wear producer Mühlbauer and presentations of international labels organised by Salzburger shops like Hämmerle, Fashionoffice looked closer at especially one event on 4 Sept with the title 'Ploom up your Dirndl' (Dirndl is the traditional dress of the European Alps). It is announced that it will be shown how an old Dirndl can be recycled into a new Dirndl - a sort of 'renovation' of an old dress. Ploom has an own shop in the city of Salzburg. The founder is designer Tanja Pflaum, a trained men's tailor, who works with traditional methods of 'Trachten'-couture and combines them with a modern philosophy like the recycling idea.

Interview with comic strip artist Jean Giraud alias Moebius
Paris based Fondation Cartier exhibits from 12 Oct 2010 to 13 March 2011 works by sci-fi, reality-fiction comic strip artist Jean Giraud, who names himself 'Moebius' after the German mathematician, under the title 'Transe-Forme'. Moebius is also known for his film work like the production design of the movie 'The Fifth Element' (costumes were designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier). The exhibition is focusing on the theme metamorphosis and that "...the forms in our environment may not be as stable as they seem". Moebius' comic strips are non-linear narrations to involve the reader in generating meaning. Therefore he uses techniques which are known from the surrealist dessin automatique.
