Yoshito Hasaka – Nights are for dreamers.

Yoshito Hasaka | Metal Magazine

Lost in TranslationEnter the Void or this year’s award-winning Shoplifters have all one thing in common: they happen in Tokyo. A city that inspires and scares, a place where future and tradition coexist, and where people dress in white-collar shirts and suits, kimonos, or their favourite manga character. Yoshito Hasaka is a designer from there and loves his city above all. But it’s not his work as a designer that has caught our attention; it’s his superb photos of night cityscapes that have captivated us and made us travel forward in time to Akira’s Neo-Tokyo. We meet with him to discuss his love for all things artificial, shooting at night, and where can we get the best views of the city.

Hot on the heels of Pharrell Williams, he escapes into a lo-fi hip hop, far from the sanitized compositions of his contemporaries.

Brady Corbet | What is fame.

Brady Corbet | Metal Magazine

You may or may not have watched any of his previous work as an actor – although, for instance, he’s starred in Mysterious Skin, Funny Games, and Melancholia –, but his debut as a film director, titled The Childhood of a Leader (2015), acquired great praise. Now, Brady Corbet is presenting his second feature film, Vox Lux, with Natalie Portman and Jude Law as the main characters, and with Willem Dafoe as the narrator of the story, which explores the effect of creating a media icon, a teen pop star from the 21st century.
