  • A memoir, a history lesson, a combat picture, a piece of investigative journalism and an altogether amazing film" A.O. Scott, New York Times

    "One of the most profoundly explosive animated documentaries I have ever seen, and is clearly one of the best pictures of the year." Andrew Sarris, New York Observer

    "Its fluid boundary between the real and surreal lifts it into the realm of myth." David Edelstein, New York Magazine

    "Extraordinary and painfully timely" Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

    To all those eager to overlook the recent ban on Waltz with Bashir in Lebanon, here is our solution in pure defiance of this law. Torrent it. Watch it streamed online. To watch it stream in fairly good quality and subtitled, one of our innercircle helped in ripping the movie. We also uploaded it on our blipTv where you would also have the option of watching Waltz with Bashir, in full screen [updated - full version].

    Table Bed Chair is a documentary about the squatter scene of Amsterdam. The film combines insights into the history of the squatter movement and its particularly well developed autonomous structures and practices with a focus on the extraordinary legal situation in the Netherlands…but this is all changing in just a few months…..Squatting has now been outlawed in the Netherlands. The Upper House of parliament in June 2010 approved a law which makes it illegal to occupy empty homes, shops or other premises without permission of the owner.

Interactive Music & Sound Design

Guest Speakers – Matt Black and Richard Blackley
www.blitzgamesstudios.com

Creative Networks welcomes Matt Black, Audio Manager at Blitz Games Studios, whose talk will focus on interactive music used in production of the company’s games titles. Founded in 1990 and based in Leamington Spa, Blitz is now one of the world’s largest independent video game developers.

Exploring the collaborative process of fitting the design of the music with the design of the game, Matt will show how that feeds into the composition of the score and how the music functions in the game. Richard Blackley, Senior Audio Designer at Blitz Games Studios, will also be showing several examples of how sound is created and layered, demonstrating third party audio tools, world editor tools and how the playback of the sound is modified at runtime using volume, pan and DSP effects.

Also at this event, discover the benefits of our award winning Knowledge Transfer Partnership programme.

To join us for this FREE event, please email creative.networks@bcu.ac.uk

or call Dave Taylor on 0121 331 5400.
