The Forest

This is the first documentary that I have directed. The focus is on the crazy amount of suicides that occur in the New Forest, England. I wanted the images to really do the talking here, as the subject was quite grim, but it nonetheless it enabled me to have a rich amount of beautiful tree shots. The music is by a French band called Kim Novak.

Often compared to post-punk apostles, Franz Ferdinand, Foals, and Bloc Party, they have had more than 200 concerts under their belts in four years. This is due to their concrete reputation as one of the most exciting, industrious, and untiring live acts around. And because of this they have supported such acts as The Gossip, Pete Doherty, Foals and the Rapture.

From bass heavy riffs a la Peter Hook ( Joy Division, New Order), to Stone Roses “freaky dancing” drums, The Lanskies aim to get the party going and the girls dancing along with it, along with a finely and acute distinctive sound that aims to cross the Atlantic (Interpol, The Strokes).

After the release of their first album Bank Holiday (on Indelible Records/ Discograph) The Lanskies went on to embark on an exhaustive world tour that saw them going to China, as well as being invited to play prestigious festivals such as the Reeperbahn Festival in Germany, and the Eurosonic in Holland.
