RABBIT
KNOWS
Rabbit Design is one of Small House Productions' closest supporters, collaborators and sources of inspiration!
And we are here to admire his steps in drawing and graphic design, so we were very delighted to hear that three of his works were included in the exhibition "We Will Publish You" of the Dutch Magazine Subbacultcha. The exhibition took place on the 14th of December 2013 in LAB111 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
We can only express that we want more! For more of the work from Rabbit Design and Greg Michailidis you can have a look here and here
Because Rabbit Knows!
We are happy to announce that the film of Miki Ambrozy "Fabric of Time" has received a VAF (Flanders Audiovisual Fund) Wildcard Award in the category of Film Lab!
On the backstage of the film, our own Andreas Hannes choreographed the performance scene of the experimental documentary, with dancer Alex Tsiamoglou and performer Caroline Daish. The film has also an original score by percussionist and composer Kostas Hanis, a constant collaborator of Small House Productions.
"Fabric of time takes us to 1980s Hungary through sound recordings, photographs and performative re-enactments of childhood. By means of a three-layered structure, the cinematic experiment implicitly talks about the author's point of view on his family's history and domestic conflict, while constructing memories for the years purposefully forgotten."
Congratulations to the director Miki Ambrozy and to everyone involved in the film!

fast forward!

Cinedans – Dance on Screen Festival is unique – in the Netherlands and in the world. The central focus of the festival is on dance film. Cinedans sees the ideal dance film as a true synthesis between the two media of dance and cinematography. At Cinedans the emphasis lies on choreographies created specifically for the camera and on special film adaptations of existing dance performances.
