Patrick Péris Pays Tribute to Lady Gaga
In this very new remix clip, Patrick Péris puts reams and reams of Lady Gaga images together with fan tributes, et al.
It may not look like it, but it represents painstaking archival work and hours of mining the Internet.
A fan is a fan is a fan.

Ah… quand une fille dit noune.
C’est bien tourné, primal et sexy.
Woolf + Lapin and Patrick Péris Join Forces
Woolf + Lapin is proud to welcome director Patrick Péris to our roster.
As a director he is well versed in stop-motion as well as traditional animation. He is also quite adept at live action.
He comes from the Kino school of thought. Direct, direct, direct. No small wonder that he has amassed quite a number of short films under his belt.
Some of which have been selected at festivals such as the Melbourne International Animation Festival and the Muestra de Cine de animacion/Civican.
Here is a recent Kino outing of his. An altogether different Patrick (Watson, no less) collaborates on the soundtrack. Patrick Watson’s vocals are quite haunting and strengthen the longing feel of the piece.
Kaveh Nabatian’s Taxi Libre
Kaveh’ short film was just posted on the NFB website.
“In this short fiction film, a Mexican university professor is stuck driving a taxi in Montreal. His tequila-swilling guardian angel doesn’t make life any easier.”
How come highly educated immigrants can’t get the jobs they’re especially trained for?

Wael Ghonim’s Branding of a New Kind Of Heroism: The People 2.0
Woolf + Lapin is inspired by great stories. Especially ones that change the course of history.
If you haven’t heard of Wael Ghonim, you will.
Google Marketing Manager for the Middle East, Wael Ghonim is the face behind the Egyptian revolution.
He had started a Facebook page called We Are All Kahled Said after the death of the Egyptian youth at the hands of Mubarak’s police back in June. (Here is his Twitter page. He is now commenting on protests across the Middle East.)
Pretty soon, Ghonim had half a million followers. People began exchanging images of police brutality.
And with the simple username “Admin,” the Google executive used the Facebook page as a rallying cry to get people to the streets on January 25th.
He took 6 days off from his job at Google in Dubai to join them in Tahrir Square.
Then he went missing.
Mubarak’s men jailed him for 12 days for his social media organizing.
Upon his release he was interviewed on a highly-rated Egyptian television show.
During this interview he wept over the deaths of other protesters.

The next day, even larger crowds took hold of Tahrir Square.
Mubarak couldn’t oppress the people anymore.
Eighteen days after the protest began, Mubarak stepped down.
Now, pro-reform protests are spreading across the Middle East.
Google CEO Eric Schmidt said yesterday that he’s “very, very proud” of the key role that employee Wael Ghonim played in the recent Egyptian protest movement.
So are we.
Salut à toi Arcade Fire!
Pour ceux qui ne le savent pas, c’est le vidéo The Suburbs réalisé par Spike Jonze.

Vive Arcade Fire, Vive Montréal!
Kaveh Nabatian’s Vapor Nominated for a Genie
“Set in Mexico City over the course of a single day, Vapor is the true story of an older man’s decision to accept his homosexuality. Told without any dialogue, this short film is a cinematic exploration of shame, catharsis, and ultimately, transcendence.”
Congrats to Kaveh and producers Stéphane Tanguay & Cédric Bourdeau as well as to ALL the nominees. Check them out here.
The 31st Annual Genie Awards will be broadcast live from the National Arts Centre in Ottawa on Thursday, March 10, 2011 on CBC.
