Like most of you, we are staying at home to help slow the spread of COVID-19 and don’t overload the already saturated health system even more.  We wish we could do more for the sick and for the nurses and doctors who are giving their best for us. Art is said to heal, but it does so in our spirit. For viruses, we need much more. . We feel lucky because our darkroom is at home, so we can continue working and sharing our work and ideas with you all.  As we strongly believe that if everybody stays at home helps, here comes our contribution to encourage you to do so. As many people ask us about what are our influences, we’ll share with you what and who inspire us: writers, designers, painters, books, cinematographers... We hope this triggers your curiosity to know more about them, to do some research on the internet, read a new book or watch/”re-watch” a movie or learn something new. If you know more about the authors and want to share it with the rest, please feel free to add your comments. . Please, stay safe, stay at home, reduce your stress and increase your curiosity. Let curiosity guide you in these difficult times. . On this post we would like to share with you the movies, cinematographers and cinema directors that have a major influence on our work. We are real “cinema-addicts”, so it will be very very difficult to show here everything that has been a major influence on our work using only a single post. Let's call this post: Cinema I! 👍🏻 (many more issues on the coming days) 1. "In the mood for Love", Won Kar-Wai 2. “In the mood for Love” 3. Albarran Cabrera. “This is you” #46 . 4. “Days of being Wild”, Won Kar-Wai 5. “Days of being Wild” 6. Albarran Cabrera. “The Mouth of Krishna” #490 . 7. “Il Deserto Rosso”, Michelangelo Antonioni 8. “Il Deserto Rosso” 9. “Il Deserto Rosso” 10. Albarran Cabrera “The Mouth of Krishna” #848

Longing

“You’ll feel the longing.”, that’s what a friend told me as he lent me his ‘In the mood for love’ DVD. And oh was it a hard watch for me, my insides were knotted with pain as I waited and watched with the man and the woman.

Then recently I found my insides knotted again with the same feeling as I watched Kagaz Ke Phool. 

This song from the movie, is haunting and if you’ve watched the film the poignancy of these scenes will leave you a hot mess of tears and sorrow. They meet again this time their roles reversed fortune-wise and oh the beating his pride has taken.

You sense also her love and helplessness in the face of his self-respect in the lyrics.

What a beautiful hand Time has dealt us

You're not Who you were I am not Who I was

Our restless hearts Meet now As if Never apart

You're remembering So am I As we walk A few steps together

We're walking Aimlessly Not knowing What we want Only some dreams We still keep weaving
