Sales agent Wide House is to be reunited with German filmmaker Rüdiger Suchsland on his next documentary Hitler’s Hollywood for delivery next year.
Wide House’s Anais Clanet confirmed at this week’s Dok Leipzig that she will be handling sales on Suchland’s new project after selling his first documentary, From Caligari To Hitler [pictured], which premiered at Venice 2014 in the Classics sidebar.
Speaking to ScreenDaily in Leipzig, Suchsland revealed that his second collaboration with the Berlin-based Looks Film & TV and Wiesbaden’s Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Foundation has already received backing from Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, HessenInvestFilm, and broadcasters Zdf/Arte.
“Hollywood was always something that the Nazis wanted to emulate,” he explained with reference to the film’s title.
“Speeches and documents provide evidence that there was a clear plan by the Nazis, and particularly Goebbels and Hitler, to establish a kind of alternative Hollywood, to copy Hollywood’s international success and to use it for Nazi...

Veda Raheja showcased a refreshing borderline experimental collection christened ‘Tri-Faceted’ at Jabong Stage during Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2014.
Inspired by the famous works of self-taught Japanese Architect Tadao Ando; the range focused on structured silhouettes with sharp lines and geometric elements to contour one’s body. The designer made use of delicate peek-a-boo cut-outs to add a sensual touch to statement pieces like gowns and dresses while also accentuating separates like trousers, tops and skirts.
Versatile fabrics like refined Chinese silk, Chantilly lace and Matka silk gave each piece an urban Indo-International appeal. The colour palette consisted of bold shades like smoky black, elegant plum, indigo, fuchsia, tangerine, blood red and concrete grey.
To draw attention to a woman’s form and grace, the designer made use of embellishments in sequins, fabric strips, detailed gathers, beads and flamboyant stitch work.
The show stopper was the very talented actor, singer, Monica Dogra...

This week's news in the arts
Britain's mall sprawl made a major advance this week when it was revealed the east London district of Stratford had now been completely rebuilt as one giant shopping centre. It's only a matter of time before Westfield Stratford City joins up with Bluewater, the Lakeside and the White City Westfield and London becomes one giant, uncontrollable retail behemoth.
If this is where we're headed, what kind of future does culture predict? Starting with the positive side, the mall is the epicentre of American teen life, as evidenced by Kevin Smith's Mallrats, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and Clueless. "I had to find sanctuary in a place where I could gather my thoughts and regain my strength," says Alicia Silverstone. You can guess where she heads. The mall's spiritual side was also explored in Michael Sheen's three-day Passion play this easter, partly staged...

A Black Swan event is a metaphor used to explain a disproportionate, hard to predict event that is beyond the realm of normal expectation in history, science, finance and technology. Coined by epistemologist Nassim Nicholas Taleb in his book "The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable", perhaps there is no more apt metaphor to describe the macabre ballet of destruction that has engulfed Japan. It has been a little over one week since a massive 9.0 earthquake struck Northern Japan and a devastating tsunami pummeled its coastal cities. The number of lives lost continues to grow and millions have been left hungry, cold, without electricity and homeless. The Nikkei has plummeted. The explosions and release of radioactive caesium-137 and iodine-131 from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant pose a very real public health threat to those in surrounding areas and potentially to the entire country. This nuclear disaster is...

The German furniture-maker maker adds another jewel to its starchitect-studded corporate campus.
The Vitra campus in Weil am Rhein, Germany, is already a mecca for contemporary architecture, featuring a design museum by Frank Gehry, a conference center by Tadao Ando, and another building on the way by Sanaa. And they've just finished what might be the greatest of them of them all: a new building, designed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, to showcase the company's home-furniture collection.
Update: Vitra has now thrown up an amazing series of 3-D images of the museum, offering you the next-best thing to actually visiting the building. A couple screen-caps:
Herzog & de Meuron--who made a global splash in 2008 with their "Bird's Nest" stadium for the Beijing Olympics--conceived of the building as an "ur-house." The individual volumes take the form of generic, A-frame houses, which are then stacked on top of each--creating an architectural symbol of Vitra's actual business,...

Slovenian architects design a small, moving chapel using the barest necessities: Just three walls, made of wood, concrete and glass.
The best architecture is often the tiniest. Witness this new chapel by Ofis Arhitekti, built at the edge of a graveyard near Ljubljana, Slovenia. The so-called Farewell Chapel couldn't be any simpler: Cut into the side of a hill, it's comprised of just three walls. The roof functions as a garden, and the chapel itself opens onto a terrace, allowing for outdoor gatherings. Tucked into the side of the building are the service spaces, including a kitchen, a bathroom and a dressing room. The one architectural flourish is the cross-shaped skylight, whose rim is also ringed with lights, for nightime.
For another variation on that skylight-cross theme, check out this amazing church by Tadao Ando. You can see a couple more modern chapels here and here.
