Kate’s first love was acting and she made moves to start a career in acting but was rejected. In the days after her rejection she fell down a flight of stairs, breaking her foot. During her recovery Nash was unable to move and found solace in songwriting. She began to write some new songs, finished old ones and decided that she would book herself a gig at a local bar to showcase her songs, and subsequently decided to start a career in music. After a few gigs, Nash uploaded her music to the popular website “MySpace“. Her music soon began to receive support from users of the site, and Nash found herself a manager, proceeding to look for producers for her music. Following the rapid, and somewhat unpredicted, success of “Foundations,” Fiction announced the release of Nash’s début album.

The Cave of the Yellow Dog (trailer) is a moving Mongolian film that deals with the issues of family, loyalty and reincarnation. When a young girl returns home with a dog she’s found, she’s unaware of the impact this seemingly helpless creature will have upon her family.
Filmmaker Byambasuren Davaa say of his movie, “What I tried to do was to fit myself in with their lives. The nomads respect nature and they subordinate themselves to nature. They don’t just sort of go out and say, ‘oh, horrible weather today, it’s too hot or it’s too cold.’ Instead, they fit in with the weather as it is and similarly what I wanted to do when I made the film was to fit in with their rhythm, with the way that they lead their lives.“

The constant migrations are part of a path more and more artists decide to follow. Carolina Melis herself left her native Sardinia more than ten years ago to continue her dance and choreography studies in the United Kingdom. During this personal journey, the young director develops an interest in animation and illustration, filled with a Master in Communication Design at Central St Martins of London.

A quirky, childlike imagination flows through the colourful books and felt-tip illustrations of Daisy de Villeneuve (1975, London). Although her illustration style is not something that would normally attract my attention, I do however love her eclectic flat in Southwest London’s Lavender Hill. Her living space and studio is full of old things which she collected from flea markets and antique stores where she dreams up her characters (I love her website).
