After Paris, Madrid & Berlin is time for the city of lights to host once again that contemporary cinema mish mash called the "Rencontres Internationales" which since 1997 hasn't stopped discovering us some of the best new works in contemporary cinema and arts. The French city will bring that fine selection of works from the thousands of submissions they'll be receiving and for their November edition the call for entries is still open! ("Cirque One" by César Pesquera) Rencontres Internationales…

Machines already talk. That's what M2M technologies are for, and the billions of connected devices in the coming years will only keep increasing with time... our cameras will talk to us, just like our fridges or even our toilets! But for these machines and objects to talk to us in an effective way these have to recode their original language into something understandable by all human beings. Moma's Talk to Me exhibition comes to explore such communication. All objects contain…

They may change location, but this year's summer Yes Way festival will surely be as exciting and packed with promising bands as last years. New line-up (a few Upset essentials may repeat), different organic cookie flavors, a lot of noise, drums, synths and dirty pop. Just like last year we'll have to filter inevitably from that amazing list of 45 bands if we want to really digest those we really like, 30-min concerts filled with electric diarrhea and beat verbosity…

For me personally there used to be only one disposable film festival and that is Notodo's FF which has been running for a decade now (and will be open by the end of the month btw). But it seems there's another on-line festival across the pond who's got that name for themselves: Eric Slatkin and Carlton Evans' DFF. Now in its 5th edition America's DFF has gathered a few more sponsors (which translates into more $$$) and an increasing buzz…

One of those pre-autumn great unmissables is the European Culture Congress @ Wroclaw (at the same time Poland…

As part of this year's London Design Festival alternative trail and complementing all East London's must-go events for the week, there's also a less impressive but probably more interesting (and surely less crowded) venue to add to your list: the Mile End Art Pavilion. What's happening there? This year's Goldsmith's graduates will be showcasing their projects (you can already have a quick glimpse on their website). An enormous list of design works that go from the most complex current education…
