Justin Timberlake pays tribute to his grandparents in the new eight minute music video for “Mirrors,” directed by Floria Sigismondi with Black Dog Films.nnAs an imaginative depiction of William and Sadie’s decades-long relationship, “Mirrors” features three separate couples in different stages of love—the whirlwind courtship, the difficulties of marriage, and the later years of togetherness. Timberlake only appears during the final two minutes when he performs a solo dance in a funhouse hall of mirrors. The video adds a new layer to the second single of his album “The 20/20 Experience” with a visually striking and evocative story.nnFloria Sigismondi is an acclaimed director and photographer. Her directing credits include the feature film “The Runaways” featuring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning, as well as innumerable groundbreaking music videos for musicians such as Bjork, Fiona Apple, Sigur Ros, and The White Stripes. Most recently she continued her work with David Bowie with the video for “The Stars (Are Out Tonight),” a collaboration that began in the 1990’s with the videos for “Little Wonder” and “Dead Man Walking.” She is currently developing her second motion picture. Sigismondi is represented by Black Dog Films for music videos and Believe Media for commercial work.nn

“ฦvolution” Comes Full Circle At The Chelsea Film Festival
The Chelsea Film Festival, running from October 16th through October 20th, 2024, at Regal Cinemas here in Union Square, is set to host the East Coast premiere of ฦvolution, a thought-provoking experimental micro-short film that proves big ideas can come in small packages and in perfect circles.
In just 1 minute 16 seconds, this cinematic gem by Award-Winning Director Romina Schwedler, with original music by Argentine Composer Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, explores a cycle as old as time: life leads to progress, progress leads to destruction, and destruction, well, leads back to life. But is this vicious circle unbreakable? ฦvolutionย suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence,ย ฦvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating โin the blink of an eyeโ the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called โprogressโ may, in fact, be guiding us to our own ruin.Premiering at the Regal 14 Union Square, New York City, on October 18, 2024, at 11 a.m., Romina Schwedler's micro-short, featuring Leah Young with cinematography by Alan J. Carmona, will be sure to spark conversations longer than the film itself! Forcing viewers to reconsider the true meaning of evolution, not just as a biological process, but as a reflection of our collective journey as humans.
With a string of festival appearances across the globe, including CineGlobe at CERN (Switzerland/France), Oscarยฎ... Read More
