Every 4 or 5 days of the trip, they broadcasted almost live the daily life of these Tibetans through a series of films of around 10 minutes that go straight to the the existence of a monk, an artiste, a student, and also a traditional doctor or a guerrilla's veteran. http://www.animook.com/namook/rm.php Alternately monk, silk painter, fashion designer for some of the greatest Parisian brands, Rémi Maillard have lived many lifes before reaching his workshop in the heart of France's Berry , a sanctuary where is burning the fire of lacquer in it's belly. This documentary film introduces his work and follow the different steps of a lacquer making. It was screened during the artist's exhibition in L'Orangerie du Sénat in Paris in August 2010. http://www.animook.com/namook/o.php We had to wait for years, years of darkness and lightyears for The Loved One to rise from the ashes and open again the doors of its musical world. O, the track from the freshly made album SET, gives pride of place to the Electro Acoustic Spring Zithers built by the brillant Peter Appleton. To illustrate this universe of sounds that oozes from these metal harmonics, The Loved One called upon the deranged improvisation of Kab of Animook's team. Enter into isomorphism... http://www.animook.com/namook/tbs.php The Tibetan form of Buddhism has been part of Mongolian tradition for centuries. However, it suffered systematic destruction under Soviet rules. Today Mongolia is emerging in the modern world. While facing many challenges, Mongolian people are trying to regaining their roots. And when Tibetan Buddhism is at risk in Tibet, Mongolia could become its refuge. This is the story of 'The Blue Scarf', and this is its trailer.

In the city between two continents, two seas, two epochs, Aldous take us on an experimental odyssey where the streets of the old Byzantine and Ottoman city, its peoples and its cultures unveil themselves from new perspectives. http://www.animook.com/namook/dor.php Once again, Aldous adds another territory to his conquests, and this one, the radio, is quite surprising considering his pictorial talent. Aldous's idea is simple, as simple as a riddle: how to draw on the radio? Wearing his radio reporter suit, Aldous has paced London and Ostend streets to share with us his creative trances. Only Resonance FM (104.4 FM), the rather wild London radio, could accept this programme.

But before all, Gille Blaize is a mythomaniac. Video, audio, writing, no media is safe from his infamies. Often going with individuals even crazier than himself, he sowed some of his stories on the Namook's pages. Be careful to what he tells you... http://www.animook.com/namook/j.php J. isn't only a letter, it is a question-mark too. Upside down. Actually, everything depends on where you are. For Namook, J. is a myth. Paintings, installations, designs, the one who hides behind the masks of Animook with her little hands draws us a route to the clearing in our hearts. http://www.animook.com/namook/js.php Jeong-Soo Joh is a lunar artist. She swings between two moods. One, terrible, plunges into the dark places of our imagination. The other, comical, is a catharsis of the first. Her sculptures, paintings, performances spread like a strange mist on the pages of Namook. Will you dare to penetrate it? http://www.animook.com/namook/gh.php What is there to say about Dryden Hawkins if not that he embarked a long time ago to a somewhere in an uncertain cosmos, and that he didn't completely come back from it. Meanwhile listening to his albums currently being re-edited, Namook provides you with some films and radio programs where his musical genius is revealed. http://www.animook.com/namook/ae.php Aldous Eveleigh is a kind of Rabelaisian wandering painter. Between two or three sketches of whatever passes by, ten or twenty erotic drawings decorating the toilets of restaurants, and delirious animated films, Aldous Eveleigh found time to offer a glimpse of his talent to Namook. Profit by it! http://www.animook.com/namook/filetterre.php Wire and Earth is an experience of several years. Jeong-Soo Joh wanted to dedicate her time to create pieces from simple materials, earth, iron wire, cotton, papier mache. Once they are made, her works continue to evolve by themselves, to break up and to recreate themselves. Jeong-Soo Joh's art has something organic about it; viral, as if a soul has inoculated itself into dead-still matter. http://www.animook.com/namook/maithuna.php Maithuna is a series of 10 paintings created by J. Watercolours on noble silk canvass, Maithuna explores the tantric universe, spiritual discipline present in certain branches of Hinduism and Buddhism. Mystic union or carnal act, Maithuna opens a new window on the fragile and powerful world of J. All the paintings are available, except those tagged with a red dot. http://www.animook.com/namook/mood.php Mood is a series of 14 paintings created by J. Her technique is watercolour and the support, noble silk canvas. The androgynous portraits offered to us by J. are sometimes calm, sometimes wild, where a subtle energy emerges and a certain form of purity. All the paintings are available, except those tagged with a red dot. http://www.animook.com/namook/project1.php Project one gathers 6 different installations that J. has created in London between 2002 and 2005. J. adapts herself to the location of the exhibition in her own way to reveal a powerful imagination, often staggering, here a cow in a cemetery, there a mandala in a disused garage for black cabs. http://www.animook.com/namook/labyrinthes.php By following the labyrinths lines that Gilles Blaize has drawn along the years, you will unroll the white pincushion of his brain where lies dormant creatures from another world. The path of his labyrinths is a dance; it passes by some encounters and many roundabout ways that sometimes lead you back to the start.

One discusses about what people say in the British capital, about World news, about France through the British prism, news of French Londoners, and others. In a universe composed by Dryden Hawkins, the team of Kab, Gilles Blaize and Pema Wangye draws up a world vision of The British wrapped up with a French touch. http://www.animook.com/namook/londonitude1.php The summary of the first issue of Londonitude: The principality of Sealand, self-proclaimed state and not recognized by any others, is for sale; A far-right group will be created next week at the European Parliament; The world music take a roundabout way to Japan and to conclude, Londonitude takes a quick peep to the gossip of the capital's People and will deliver to you higgledy-piggledy the last dispatches. http://www.animook.com/namook/londonitude2.php The summary of the second issue of Londonitude: What if France and England was one?

Too lazy to play the travelers, they try to come through it by a broadcast delirium mixing true info, interviews and completely wild imaginings - this produces Boarding Gate! http://www.animook.com/namook/holytroub.php Gilles Blaize and J. went to North India and Nepal to find out about yogis and to down some tallies. On the path, people have passed, stopped, sung, then played, and beaten, and blown, or rubbed; then taught and shared. Holy Troubadours is a patchwork of all this music picked up on the Himalayan roads; prayers or festive songs, to the glory of gods and men. http://www.animook.com/namook/ail.php Between a Travelogue and an Animated film, Aldous in London is a plunge into the heart of Aldous Eveleigh's universe, where the reality of London, its Bobbies, its cabs and pubs, mixes with the shifted vision of the wandering painter. Directed by Gilles Blaize, painted by Aldous Eveleigh and composed by Dryden Hawkins, Aldous in London teaches you to look at what you do not see.

Using the animation technique of stop-motion, the wandering painter makes and unmakes landscapes of the British capital.

Few months before the dark story of the two towers, Aldous Eveleigh rolls up in the streets of Manhattan, sketching from his brush the life of the city. Back in London, he creates a series of animations from his paintings on simple postcards of the Big Apple. Sex, violence, money, are the themes of these portraits to make this Aldous video one of our favorites. http://www.animook.com/namook/ost.php Ah! the beaches of fine sand, the mussels, the fries, the North Sea... Ostend is one of the privileged locations of Aldous Eveleigh. Not surprising that he chose the Belgium seaside resort as a guinea pig for his first video. With his brushes and the stop motion technique, taking the most common photographs of the town, the painter plays to reveal another vision of the Walloon finial where seagulls, Hercule Poirot and pretty girls come together. http://www.animook.com/namook/dor.php Once again, Aldous adds another territory to his conquests, and this one, the radio, is quite surprising considering his pictorial talent.
