Due to Taschen Books timely 25th Anniversary this year we are graced with another opportunity to look into the intricate and sometime devilish mind of one of New York's most self expressive photographers. Leaving literally no perversion untouched Terry Richardson's Terryworld brings us closer to the extremes of sexual expression. Maybe because Terry's mom dated Jimi Hendrix or possibly for some other reason but Mr. Richardson brings is more freedom of sexual expression than the orgy tent at Woodstock. Occasionally thrown into the pages are looks into the deep seeded personalities of several celebrities as well.

The morning after Halloween, a young man celebrates his birthday by
drinking coffee on his East Village stoop and watching the Halloween
stragglers stumble home. One of them is a young girl bruised by her
first encounter with New York City nightlife and its disposable
affection. They sit, talk, and possibly do-or possibly don't-fall in
love.
Joe's life threatens to come apart when he begins thinking too much: at
home, at work, on the train, in the bookstore. Luckily, he discovers
Thinkers Anonymous, where he learns that thinking is best left to
professionals like politicians, religious leaders, and the news media.
After all, they're the ones who know what's best for us, right?
Alex is The New Yorkist, a troubled artist paralyzed by the disparity
between the possibilities he imagines for himself and the reality he
instead inhabits. One morning, he resolves to undertake an enterprise
of monumental importance, for which he will be enshrined in the annals
of history. This abstract notion quickly evolves into grandiose
delusion as Alex constructs an elaborate fantasy involving The Gulag
Archipelago, an infestation of ants, and a doomed plan to invade
Kyrgyzstan.
peaceXpiece : can we come together? is a New York Artist Series short film detailing the peaceXpiece festival put together
by Paul Kostabi on April 19th, 2008 in Central Park. 1,000 canvasses
were given to people to create the world's largest mural to promote
green peace. The result was nothing short of amazing!
We proudly announce that Matt Pond PA is our headliner this year. You will also see groundbreaking performances by the space-psyche troupe Glint, recently featured in February’s Billboard Magazine, supernumblivemachine,
containing the famous rockers Paul Kostabi and Tony Mann. We are pleased to have recently added Anti-Folker Don McCloskey and virtuosic solo acoustic guitarist Justin King to the bill.
Please visit the official peaceXpiece website for all festival details about our activities , the 1,000 piece art mural, and other breaking news.

It has been two and a half years since Ella said she wanted to be a
filmmaker. Now she is turning four and her filmmaker dad has given her
a video camera for her birthday. Beginning Filmmaking takes us through
one year of trying to teach a preschooler how to make a film,
demonstrating both the joys and frustrations of being a parent and of
being a child, and that old or young, you really do have to be careful
what you wish for.
Apuna, an Inuit hunter, is driving his dog team on the frozen Arctic
Ocean in search of seals when he becomes witness to a violent murder.
With no anonymity in the microscopic communities of Arctic Alaska,
Apuna realizes that he knows both the victim and the murderer. The
latter claims
self-defense and is desperate to avoid punishment, so Apuna finds
himself forced to navigate the uneasy morality between honoring the
body and memory of one friend while destroying the reputation and life
of another. Shot on anamorphic 35mm at temperatures of 20 degrees below
zero,
Sikumi is the first film ever made entirely in the Iñupiaq language.
