High on Hope is a film which presents the real story behind what acid house meant in Northern England in the late eighties and early nineties. The explosion of electronic dance music has since become a multi-million pound global industry, but for the hundreds of people in Blackburn during this time period it was much more than that; an escape route from the crippling effects Thatcherism was having on their livelihoods and communities. High on Hope tells their story.
The film has already been premièred at several film festivals, winning best film in Barcelona’s In-Edit festival and won the audience Award at Leeds Film festival, beating the Kings Speech in the process. But whilst the film has been finished, financed by a combination of borrowing, call in favours, waiving fees and sown together by director Piers Sanderson’s hard work and determination, there are still costs relating to licensing the music and various scenes within the film.
For the film to be released on DVD and shown in independent cinemas, a small amount of money needs to be raised. There is a Crowd funding appeal set up.
Norse Projects have been making some great moves in menswear this year. Based in Copenhagen their collections are inspired by local weather (similar to our very own British weather).
Functional and clean, the Lindisfarne jacket is lined with heavy cotton/fur to keep you warm, whilst the British Millerain cotton canvas outer has a really durable feel.
Will Clinkard is the man behind online store Street Casuals. He got in touch with us requesting a link exchange, but we’ve done so much better. After the jump you’ll find out how Will went from working at Ginsters (yes the Cornish pasty makers!) to owning his own online streetwear store.
Plus, Will has kindly given us £200 to give away to one really lucky reader in our Street Casuals Competition.
The Eastpak Padded Pak’r Authentic Returnity is one of the brand’s more premium offerings. Along with the front compartment the main section also houses a sleeve for your laptop (up to 13″). The body is made up of durable brushed cotton, whilst the leather base and detailing gives this rucksack a little more appeal. And, of course, as with any good rucksack there is also a loop to hold your ice pick!
Breaking from the traditional format, Moniker highlights the work of a generation of artists often overlooked in British mainstream fairs, though widely acclaimed by museums and established art institutions throughout the world.
With such success last year, Moniker Art Fair will be expanding its 2011 programme to include galleries such as Scream London, who will showcase the iconic art of Andy Warhol alongside LA neo-pop artist, Greg Miller at the fair. Other artists exhibiting include the up and coming Russell Young, street art favourites Ben Eine and Herakut, as well as the introduction of a strong group of Pop Surrealist artists such as Luke Chueh from California and New York photographer and ‘beautiful loser’ Cheryl Dunn.
Moniker Art Fair – 13th – 16th October 2011 – Village Underground, 54 Holywell Lane, London, EC2A 3PQ www.monikerartfair.com
