It was me who led the the Chinese Ice Sculpture Team to make the indoor ice Sculpture shows in Holland. Up to now, I have made the show 8 times, four times in Haren and 4 times in Madurodam. I would be pleased to develop the show to pakistan and else where in the world. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask me.
Sincerely,

Yan Liansheng

chinese tourists looking at a dutch windmill built by chinese ice sculptors at a dutch themepark

1. posted by Yuri Vorontsov at 23:06 on April 27, 2006

Plain weird. Wow!

2. posted by Jan! at 14:32 on May 01, 2006

How very meta! (Well, not meta, but that is a bit of a catchall word nowadays.)

Did those tourists bring their own body warmers, or are they included in the entrance fee?

3. posted by Milo at 14:47 on May 01, 2006

Actually, before you walk into the giant freezer (kept at -10 degrees Celcius), you're handed these body warmers. And upon exiting you're supposed to give them back (or so I figured out despite being blinded from my suddenly fogged-up glasses).

4. posted by Jan! at 01:02 on May 02, 2006

Oh, nice. There was a similar thing here in Bruges (see my link) last January. We sure didn't get no warmers, no-sirrie!

Do you also think of somewhat random yet still related Google queries when you look at things? I thought: hey, I wonder if there's anyone who punned "Invasion of the Body Warmers" before. (There is.)

Actually, the Dutch Railways are going to use barcodes to automate everything. When you buy a ticket, you will get a complimentary barcode scanner.

IFFR day 6 

Seen today:
Shanghai Dreams
La Perrerra
Langer Licht
One of the best things about this showing was the Q&A with director David Lammers afterwards, which was definitely the funniest and most enthousiastic I've seen yet.
NEXT: A Primer On Urban Painting
I wasn't expecting to vote 5-out-of-5 on a documentary this week, but I did today. This film is simply dripping with awesomeness; the first one I'm seriously considering attending a second time. Packed with so much inspirational and original and varied art and design from all over the world - all set to great music of course. Highlights: the trek deep into a cave below the Paris underground to find tags from the 19th century, the ninja-like Tokyo speed-taggers, and the pleasure of seeing the PIPSlab 3D lightsigs on a giant cinema screen.

hi milov,
yep, I agree, twas an excellent documentary. Great to see the old school combined with the new. Especially LEE, awesome art!

IFFR day 5 

Seen today:
Clear People
Basically a collage of scenes and sounds in and around an apartment complex, emphasis more on the surroundings than on the people. Lots of interesting shots that made me wish the picture quality/resolution was better.
Linda Linda Linda
Probably the movie I had the highest expectations for, and though it started a little slow, I was not disappointed. Lots of very funny moments, some subtle, some not so subtle but not at all as slapstick-y as I was fearing. With a great soundtrack (highlight: a version of Happy End's 風来坊 by 湯川潮音). My new favourite.
Black Brush
Since Ode to Joy was sold out I went to this one instead, which turned out to be very funny and entertaining. With a very cool occasional thumping soundtrack-beat by the director's brother, that I wish would occur even more often during the film.
Play
Beautiful Chilean film. Reminiscent of Amélie in parts, though far less fantastical. Another definite favourite.
Look for Me (short)

good to hear you liked linda 3x!
looking forward to seeing it .. hopefully it will play at the philly filmfest. ps. i wrote a short review, more an impression, of three times. i know you missed it, but maybe i just gave you reason to try to catch it somewhere else ;)

2. posted by Milo at 21:33 on February 05, 2006

Yeah I think you'll love Linda Linda Linda as well... Best Bae Doona performance ever. Real amazing how she manages to carry some scenes without speaking at all.

IFFR day 3 

pathé nightshot
Didn't have anything planned for today (most interesting films were sold out and most non-sold-out films didn't seem interesting), but decided at the last minute to attend the Nagasaki Shunichi interview in the Schouwburg, which inspired me to go and see his Heart, Beating in the Dark (new version), which turned out to be pretty good.

IFFR vipspotting 

Tony Rayns, Nagasaki Shunichi, translator guy and Mizushima Kaori at the Q&A after Wild Side/After That, all completely blinded by the stage lights, unable to see who in the audience wanted to ask a question.

Films seen on my first day at the festival:
The Lost Hum
Having to wait for 30 minutes until the "technical difficulties" with the projector were solved made this seem a very long sitting, but still an impressive unusual and original film.
Ahlaam
The first and only Iraqi film I've ever seen, and it's a great one... Shot with mostly non-actors in various very photogenic locations in and outside of Baghdad, all the more amazing after hearing the director talk about how the crew itself had (and has) to deal with threats and kidnappings as well.
The Magicians (short)
Very moving 40 minute story filmed in one single continuous shot by Song Ilgon (three films of whom appear in my best-of-2005 list).
Haze (short)
Shinya Tsukamoto's amazingly intense vision of claustrophic hell, painful to watch at times but still left me wanting for more. Looking forward to seeing the extended 49 minute version.
Worldly Desires (short)
After That
The first Nagasaki film I saw, apparently one of his most inaccessible (or so Tony Rayns warned). A behind-the-scenes documentary with very poor picture and sound quality, the first half is difficult to sit through, but the second half gets quite funny and exciting as the filmcrew secretly trails the girlfriend of one of the actors through Tokyo.
Wild Side (short)

Het RD vermeldt over de het logo in haar krant van 13-08-2004 het volgende:
"Unilever moet 'speelser' worden.
Aan de gevel van het hoofdkantoor van Unilever aan het Rotterdamse Weena zijn gisteren de borden met de strakke U van Unilever verwijderd. Het beeldmerk is vervangen door een nieuw logo, waarvan de letter U er met zijn zonnetje, bloemen en bijtjes speelser uitziet. Er moest een hoogwerker aan te pas komen om de platen van 4,5 bij 4,5 meter naar boven te takelen en vast te maken aan de bovenrand van het pand."

Op 4 november meldt dezelfde krant:
Unilever gaat de stad omarmen
Unilever wil een warme band met de stad. Die zoektocht naar meer intimiteit werd eerder dit jaar aangekondigd toen een nieuw logo op de gevel werd gehangen. De borden met de strak vormgegeven U van Unilever werd daarbij vervangen door een logo, met de letter voorzien van een zonnetje, bloemen en bijtjes: gezelliger en dichter bij de mensen.
