“Oh, Cine-lysées”: le Lincoln, Paris

The power of juxtaposition: arthouse cinema just off les Champs Elysées



Well, what better reason to walk down the beautiful Champs Elysées than a visit to an arthouse cinema? I must admit it seemed like a rebellious exercise, particularly as, on our way there, we passed a very fancy-looking restaurant where Léa whispered to me that Sarkozy is known to eat …

The power of pervasive media: Watershed Media Centre, Bristol

Watershed Media Centre in Bristol is a field-leader when it comes to social media and technology. Even the steps to their pervasive media studio respond to movement, making entering or leaving an immersive, technological artistic experience. nice.

London Film Weekender

Léa and I indulge in our very own London Film Weekend, coincidentally at the same time as the official ‘London Film Weekend’. That’s synchronicity for you…

Recognising that even in today’s new media world, cinema is an offline experience, that takes place in that hallowed space – the movie theatre. Yorck cinemas cherish their unique architectural spaces.



The Yorck chain is famous for its selection of impressive historical locations, renovating old cinemas and returning them to their former glory. People I’d spoken to at the Berlinale in advance of the SylC project launch spoke lovingly of the… Continue
