MALMKROG a film by Cristi Puiu - Trailer from Shellac films on Vimeo.

Nikolai, a large landowner, a man of the world, places his country estate at the disposal of some friends, by organizing a sojourn at the spacious manor house.

For the guests, among which we find a politician, a young countess, a Russian General and his wife, time passes at the manor house with rich meals, society games and by engaging in a long discussion about death and the Antichrist, progress and morality.

As the discussion gradually takes shape and the various topics are broached, each of them lays out his vision of the world, history, and religion.

The hours pass, the discussion becomes more heated, the topics become more and more serious, and differences of culture and viewpoints grow increasingly apparent.

Whether for good reason or not, the guests end up exacerbating each other’s anxieties to the point that their conversation begins to be sorely strained.

Finally, falling into the snare of their own discourse and believing that history never repeats itself, none of them is able to realize the extent of the event in which they have unwittingly come to be trapped.

FORÆVA from foræva on Vimeo.

A project by Lana Dumitru & Vlad Tenu. Made with Crystals from Swarovski.

Directed by Anton & Damian Groves DOP and Grading by Radu Fulga Edited by Niki Georgiev Post Production by Călin Bogdacenco Sound Design by Andrei Nechifor Produced by Studioset

FORÆVA

foræva is about two designers putting the past into the future in the shape of a crystal dress. Approached by Swarovski, fashion designer Lana Dumitru and architect Vlad Tenu have teamed up to reimagine tradition for the next space age. They took the folk pattern from a traditional Romanian rug and digitally re-constructed it from over 25.000 Swarovski crystals into a new kind of artefact. The complexity of this dress has reached an engineering level, only possible through full 3D simulations, algorithmic design methods and digital prototyping.

STORY

foræva is a story about humanity, mythology and space. It starts from the next space age and brings the ancestral tradition into the present times. it is the ancient philosophical concept of eternal recurrence but with added space age disco lights.

ÆVA

foræva is the female character coming from the future to inspire and guide us through the rediscovery of our quintessential values. she brings a constellation of new possibilities and directions to shape our future heritage. she's the old Eve and the future one, carrying the tradition like the most fashionable thing in the galaxy.

THE DRESS

foræva is the dress carrying a positive and colourful message sent to us from the next century: identity and tradition will not be lost on the path of globalisation, they will evolve in unexpected ways, shaped by technology and emotions. It is the dress that Grandma Earth will give to us as a goodbye gift before we leave her for other planets; or a Saturday night outfit on Mars.

LoveStories - Chapter One, Bo from Caroline Koning on Vimeo.

The video gives insight into a loving relationship from the point of view of 'the boyfriend'. Little details, stupid things, and charming elements are the things why he's in love with her, even when that means eating kebab, walking into metro gates, and acting out the same film scene every single day.
