Sorry for still not opened the shop. We know, that the “Sächsische Zeitung” had published an article, that said the shop is allready finished. As you now know: it is still under construction, but we work hard every day to make it as good as we want it to be. And it should be REALLY good.

In the meantime we give you the wise advice to relax, watch a russian movie, as daniel recommends or listen to a good dj set, let be this one for example or this one

Stay tuned for daily news …

One of the greats effort of men in modern history seems to me the act of making movies. No other form of art requires such a wealth of artistical and technical skill and no other art form is relying so much on cooperation. Nonetheless you might say the bigger part of movies are simple, trashy, Hollywood highschool comedies. You are so right, Ferris. But let me illustrate you what I mean: The Russian director Alexander Sokurov’s movie Russian Ark (2002). A quick research will show you, that this movie is one of only a handful feature-length movies ever shot in one single take. Yes, that is more that 90 minutes without a cut. What may sound like artsy-fartsy boring stuff makes for a very astonishing piece, once you actually see it. The movie is set in the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, nowadays part of the Heremitage Museum, and let’s you wander through the rooms while the camera lens represents the point of view of an unknown stranger. Every room represents a different period of time and you are represented a “living tableau”. The always-fluent, never breaking stream of images makes for an almost dream-like experience.
The movie was made in one single day in December, 2001. The complete museum was closed for visitors, redecorated, hidden lighting was installed to most of the rooms, more than 2000 actors and extras (including several music orchestras) where put into make-up and wardrobe and placed on hold. When German steadycam operator Tilman Büttner and director Alexander Sokurov and their crew started their travel through the museum from a small side entrance. There were two hours of light and no safety nets. After two short ill-fated attempts they pulled the thing off.
A group effort of this kind makes definitely a great movie.
