The Belgian Photographer Submerges French Siren Isild Le Besco in his Latest Short

Photographer and filmmaker Pierre Debusschere collaborates with striking French ingenue Isild Le Besco in his latest emotive fashion film, The Lake. Filmed in Templeuve, a picturesque village in northern France, the beautifully crafted montage depicts the actress being enveloped by a pool of water to an ominous countdown courtesy of songwriter Valerie Leclercq from the atmospheric sister duo Half Asleep. Transformed into a mythical sea creature through metallic, opulent and fish scale-y looks dreamed up by stylist Robbie Spencer, Le Besco welcomed the "opportunity to wear magnificent, daring dresses that I would probably never have had the opportunity to wear in cinema movies.” A personal project conceived in honor of his move to Art + Commerce, Debusschere’s decision to cast Le Besco, one of France’s most promising young actresses, stemmed from his desire to evoke both beauty and sentiment. “She is always intriguing in every role that she plays,” he muses. “She has a really particular face, a very recognizable face, and just by looking at her you instantly get emotion.”

Florence + The Machine - No Light, No Light

The video for Florence And The Machine’s new single ‘No Light, No Light’ is at the centre of a race row after its makers were accused of espousing ‘white supremacist’ views.

A piece entitled ‘White Supremacy all dressed up in a pop video is still White Supremacy’, posted on Racialicious.com, has suggested that the video is packed full of “racist imagery”.

Directed by Icelandic duo Arni & Kinski, the video sees Florence Welch pursued by a man in black body paint, practising ‘voodoo’. Racialicious writes that the video is guilty of “glorifying the white female central character as representing goodness, all while vilifying the evil dark skinned heathen Other".

The piece goes on to say: “Discussions about whether or not Welch is personally responsible for this racist music video have cropped up. When you break it down and imagine the number of people who were behind the storyboarding, choreographing, casting and creative direction around this video, it is slightly astounding that not one person raised concerns about how problematic this video is.”

The video’s depiction of ‘voodoo’ is also highlighted by Jezebel.com, who question the video’s representation of “Vodoo as an evil, primitive version of witchcraft”, explaining that “it's a religion like any other, with a moral code, gods and goddesses. Many ceremonies deal with protection from evil spirits".

Florence’s fans however have rushed to her defence. “I don’t think Florence is racist. She is a woman who loves soul, respects black artists, regularly cites them amongst her hugest influences," writes Getaway Girl on Tumblr.

On the Popjustice.com message board, Rabbit Hearted Girl says: “I think the main flaw in the whole racism argument is that the 'evil black guy' is actually green.” Meanwhile Antonym on Jezebel.com writes: “It seems to be more like lazy music video imagery than a concerted effort to be racist."

FASHION FILM

SHOWstudio: The Glow and the Gloom - Marie Schuller and Marlon Rueberg

An homage to Henri-Georges Clouzot's unfinished masterpiece L'enfer, Marie Schuller's fashion film editorial takes a hypnotic, colour-suffused and truly obsessive look at the finest pieces from Spring/Summer 2011

 

I love the artistic direction, the ascpect of "film noir". The color palette is so interessting, you really got to see it.

Rihanna - We Found Love

This is probably one of Rihanna's most meaningful videos next to Russian Roulette and Man Down. She's really come a long, long way since Pon De Replay. believe that this video represents the current reality the culture of the eternal youth that destroys itself.
