Intense Experimental Arthouse movie - ANAPHYLAXIS Trailer
ANAPHYLAXIS is an experimental/arthouse movie from British director Ayman Mokhtar and we constantly here about big mainstream movies having certain scenes shot on front of a green screen and muted. The movie was actually filmed 3 years ago in 2007 but its taken 2 years to go through the post production and the world premiere was actually last november in Sao Paulo. A very unique looking film which looks like something Lars Von Trier may have created or as my friend said its like something out of a Bettlejuice movie set?! Trailer after the break
A successful doctor, content with life, develops a strange illness – anaphylaxis, a severe allergy to human skin. He tries to defy his illness, but his life is tuned upside down by his inability to touch people. He can’t function professionally, socially or intimately with his fiancée, whom he eventually loses.
Then he discovers that dead bodies don’t trigger his illness. He withdraws from life around him to work as a pathologist, dealing only with dead bodies. Life is calm until he encounters a woman’s dead body covered from neck to toe with writing. Intrigued, he starts to read.
She was a poet. Imprisoned as a wife and mother, she suffered postnatal depression. Writing was her solace, but she sought escape so much it became a dangerous obsessive compulsive disorder. They locked her in a psychiatric hospital to recover. When released, she was told not to touch a pen again. But she did – to end it all by writing her story on her skin, dying as a result.
Reading her story, the doctor discovers a profound bond between his experiences of solitude and those recounted in her tattooed words. The dead poet becomes the doctor’s only chance for a human connection before the next touch kills him. He reaches to her across the boundaries of death with one last act – of love.

LOST PAGE (Página Perdida)- Trailer for trip inspired Brazillan flick
Got this trailer sent to me a few days ago from Sanglant Films, its for a movie from Brazil called Página Perdida or in English LOST PAGE which is surrounded by an intriguing scenario and inhabited by strange characters, is an abstract film, the result of a powerfull visual dimension created by Lucas Moreira added to the experimental electro-acoustic music of Marcelo Armani.
I do love abstract music even made up several comps on cds of songs i was sent used to help me chill out and I know this will bring on a few WTF moments with some of you, but its something I used to see been made whilst I was studing graphic design in manchester, visually graphical originally unique.

First Trailer for Mark Pellington’s I Melt With You
I Melt With You from Pellington Films on Vimeo.
source affenheimtheater
I found this trailer on Theplaylist yesterday and didn't know what to think of it, then today I see it poping up in many blogs, websites, so what the heck here it is. This is a trailer for Mark Pellington's I Melt With You. The actor that looks in emotional agony in this trailer is Thomas Jane the man who once was Punisher now reinventing himself after a downward spiral which he has now found a exit from. What its about its hard to tell as details are very slim, there is a few details on the IMDB page(click on movie name above), but I notice a few sites saying what the plot is, its spoiler central. The movie stars Christian McKay, Thomas Jane, Jeremy Piven, and Rob Lowe and looking at the trailer , its not your normal convential trailer it's nearly 5 minutes long, more a monologue. The movie doesnt actually start shooting until next month so this is just a taster in what Pellington is trying to do and with this movie with a micro hollywood budget of $1million its going to be a very interesting movie.

English Subtitled Trailer for Go Shibata's DOMAN SEMAN
This trailer is bordering on full on weirdness but we love that sort of movies here at Cinehouse HQ! DOMAN SEMAN is the lastest movie from Gô Shibata (Late Bloomer), well it actually I think its already been out in its native Japan but it'll premiere at next month's Asian Film Festival in New York on July 5th.
Doman Seman revolves around a lazy no-gooder Shinsuke and his homeless mushroon eating friend Tsutomu who are enlisted by a magical spirit who presents himself as Mr.Abe the Yakuza magican to do battle against the evil & greed of modern society. Mr.Abe with his new 2 recruits along with an army of pyshic children must track down a man who tracks dark energy down to a murder this man commited when he was a teenager.
Very bizzare, symbolistic even a little occult here Shibata say's he was inspired by the works of David Lynch (yes obscure) and Spanish Alejandro Jodorowsky to create his magical world of realism,mmm!
Check out the trailer after the break...

Short Film: Guy Maddin's NIGHT MAYOR
source ThePlaylist
Below is the latest short film from Guy Maddin called NIGHT MAYOR.
The film is about Nihad Ademi, an inventor from Bosnia who immigrates to Winnipeg. He builds, with his children, a machine called the "Telemodium" which uses the waves of Aurora Borealis to broadcast footage of "every day life for every day people." The footage is shown in different parts of Canada, coast to coast. Eventually, people begin to take to these images and start broadcasting their own, that is, until the police get involved.
The movie lasts 13 minutes and is shot in glorious black and white like his previous work of My Winnepeg a documentary about Maddin's home city. The whole style I would describe as experimental, original shot in the style of the black & white movies of the early 1900's and this short movie is online courtesy of NFB -National Film Board of Canada and they describe the auteur as "an imaginative cinematic riff on the significance of a public film producer." Guy Maddin is very new to me and when I watched this short I got the feeling I liked what I was watching but if you asked me why I couldn't say but he is a very proud Canadian and his previous cv contains alot of Canadianesque projects, check it out Night Mayor below;
