Lumière proudly present their forthcoming releases.

In the theatres the newest masterpiece by Hirokazu Kore-eda, Like Father Like son will be shown from 18th December on.

This fine drama was already one of the favourites at the current Filmfestival from Ghent. Expect excellent Asiatic art!

Apart from that, Lumière will also release Jimmy P. on DVD.

Jimmy P. or Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian tells the story of Blackfoot Indian Jimmy Picard (Benicio Del Toro) who has been examined by French anthropologist Georges Devereux (Mathieu Amalric).

Both to its style and subject, this movie by Arnaud Desplechin has been often compared to David Cronenberg’s A Dangerous Method.

You might remember the name of Johan Troch, the DIY-musician we were interviewing some months ago, the creator of perfect soundscapes.

Johan has currently a new project out along with Peter Every and which better way there than letting him do the explanation....

Peter Every runs his own small recording studio (Neophyte Recordings) in Coventry UK.

Peter and I have found each other through Facebook.

I like the spirit and soul of Peter's fancy music environment.

And we also share the same policy about releasing our music via the internet, for a very small donation. (downloaders can choose: free, or with a donation they choose by themselves)

It took not to long, before we were fans of each other's music.

Playfully I experimented with Peter's music, by putting vocals or guitar, on a few of his compositions.

I sent him those versions via mail, and with minor modifications, remixed and remastered versions by Peter.

So far we have only done a couple of tracks, but it feels good, this cooperation.

I can already tell you that Peter Every is one so far, an unknown artist. But I do hope, he still breaks through in the UK and the rest of the globe.

He is very multifaceted as a musician and producer.

Peter is also working together with guitar-player Matt Backer (USA) who toured with Julian Lennon.

It's a small world indeed.

Little Nemo was born in 1983 as the result of the musical encounter between Olivier Champeau and Vincent Gallo in the Paris area. The name stems from Windsor McCay's comic strip, dating back to the early 20th century and telling the oniric adventures of a little boy during his sleep. That sets the tone for the many arty references in the group's history. The duet asserts this psychedelic ascent while quoting Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd as their influence. Their music mixing keyboards (mainly Olivier), a drum machine and guitar/bass by Vincent is influenced by the new wave of Cure and Joy Division, as well as by the French groups Taxi Girl and Marquis de Sade.

PAST & FUTURE was originally self-produced and self-distributed by the band on his own label Artefact, as a limited edition of 500 cassettes, released in June 1987. It was sold out in a few months. The tape is meant to be conceptual.

Out on vinyl for the very first time, these original recordings were produced by the band on a 4-track cassette deck in 86-87, except track A2, recorded on a 8-track tape recorder at 8PM Studio in Lyon (march 87).

Following the massive success of their Bafta winning series The Killing and Borgen, and the newly Bafta nominated series’ The Bridge, Arrow Film’s Nordic Noir label are pleased to announce the release of UNIT ONE: SERIES THREE

With an overwhelming response to the season one and two releases earlier this year, Arrow Films’ Nordic Noir label is pleased to announce the UK DVD box set debut of UNIT ONE: SERIES THREE on Monday 6th January 2014.

Based on actual, real-life Danish crimes which have occurred across the last 2 decades, the International Emmy award winning UNIT ONE is one of the hardest hitting of the Scandi-crime series. It follows an elite mobile police force, referred to as a flying squad, as they are dispatched to assist local police in solving some of the most complex and high profile cases Denmark has ever bore witness to.

Starring alongside Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal, The Hunt, Casino Royale, Pusher), who won the Best Actor Award at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, are some of Denmark’s brightest and best-loved actors, as seen on UK screens in The Killing, Borgen and Wallander. 

Exhilarating and fast-paced, we follow the fascinating and dangerous world of the UNIT ONE squad as they immerse themselves in the Danish underworld. Prepare to be thrilled by their commitment and affectionate solidarity, yet puzzled by the often horrifying examples of human nature they face in their day-to-day work.

UNIT ONE asks many questions of the heroes and heroines portrayed in the show, such as what happens to those in real life who have chosen a career such as the ones portrayed in the series? A member of the flying squad is away from home 230 days a year, can a marriage and a family cope with that? What qualifications? What dedication? What kind of team spirit do these men and women possess in order to achieve one of the highest success rates in the world?

Following their success with the likes of The Killing, Borgen, and The Bridge, Arrow continue to strive in bringing UK viewers the very best in Scandinavian television via their Nordic Noir label. While the aforementioned titles all aired on BBC4 prior to their box set releases, Arrow have also enjoyed acclaim for bringing never-before-seen Nordic shows directly to UK living rooms via the home entertainments market.

Their passion and excitement for the genre found Arrow looking further into the Nordic catalogue and it was there that they discovered an array of fantastic, high quality shows, crying out for a new audience.

In addition to UNIT ONE, 2013 has seen the Nordic Noir label release The Accused starring Sofie Gråbøl , Above The Street Below The Water, starring Sidse Babett Knudsen, The Protectors and Van Veeteren direct to UK fans via DVD and Digital Download; all of which have been received exceptionally well.

Who are they?

Sixth Comm is a British experimental, rock and synth pop group founded by Patrick Leagas in 1986. Sixth Comm is influenced by Norse magic and mythology. Leagas would appear to be the main force behind this outfit, which somewhat confusingly, releases albums both as Sixth Comm and as Mother Destruction. Both names are sometimes present on the CDs.

Patrick Leagas was originally vocalist and percussionist for controversial neo-folk/post-industrial group Death in June. The earliest recordings of Sixth Comm contain different versions of a number of Death In June songs. A Nothing Life cassette was initially labelled as being a joint effort, although later reissues made no mention of his former band.

Early works continued in the familiar neo-folk direction, but gradually Sixth Comm found their own voice. Leaving behind the imagery of Death in June, Leagas renamed himself O'Kill and began to introduce electronic beats. The songs began to revolve more and more around neopagan imagery. Somewhere along the line, the female vocals of Leagas' wife, "pagan priestess" Amodali, were added to the line-up. The group headed further into an experimental direction and began to utilise tape-loops and tribal beats, to provide musique concrète-influenced soundscapes of a genuinely eerie dimension, a wild pagan passion driving unsettling atmospherics. These albums started to be released under the moniker Mother Destruction.
