2 Free Web Mags: WLFT / Prayers For Children
Both mags show pictures of various young artists – WLFT (I think it means “We Like To Fuck”) focusses on photography and combines pictures of all sorts of genders and sexes, while Prayers For Children perceives itself more clearly as a queer zine and shows all sorts of artwork. If you’re an artist yourself this may be a good way to publish some of your work online, both mags seem to be always searching for contributions.

L’Eclipse No. 1: Some Summertime
L’ECLIPSE a project by a French photographer called Laurent Chapoussin who seems to be a huge Antonioni fan and usually publishes his work in a little “travel journal” called ZABRISKIE (you also find some of his pictures on his Flickr stream or his blog). With L’Eclipse he has started a new series of small books that are released as an edition of Zabriskie and feature the work of other photographers. You see some of the pictures of the first issue called “La lande des selves” below, they are shot by a french/italian duo of photographers called Vivien Ayroles and Stefano Marchionini. If you want a copy you have to be quick, they are limited and nearly sold out (via BLEW Magazine).
2 Movies To Look Forward To: Private Lessons / Gaze
PRIVATE LESSONS is the new movie by a Belgium director called Joachim Lafosse. The story is about a teenager who is kicked out of school and suddenly finds himself in a weird relationship to a trio of friends of his mother’s who offer him to give him private lessons. All sorts of private lessons as it turns out. In Germany the movie is going to be released on DVD in January. And if you haven’t seen Lafosse’s “Private Property” starring Isabelle Huppert yet I highly recommend it to you. ————————————————————
GAZE is a documentary about 20 contemporary gay artists such as Bruce LaBruce, Ignacio Lozano or Stuart Sandford. The film is shot by Matt Riddlehoover, a cute looking filmmaker from L.A. whom you may remeber from playing the narcisstic main character in the independent movie Watch Out. I just hope that Riddlehoover doesn’t take it’s subjet too serious – I sometimes have the feeling that anyone who’s shooting pictures of boys wearing masks and neon stuff is considered an artist these days.
