Discover Eindhoven, The Netherlands in this catalogue of creative happenings
Zimmer Frei or Fiesta del Sol … which country is Eindhoven in?Why is it interesting that a significant Dutch village in the south of Holland should have two very different festivals with foreign names take place over the one weekend? What do these events say about the self-image of this post-industrial town? Why does this big village have to borrow holiday references to give itself credibility?

You ever seen a unicorn up close?Back on 8 April 2010 Philips, Ridley Scott and a range of cutting edge directors released 5 short films as part of the launch of the Philips Cinema 21:9: the first ever cinema sized home television by the electronics giant. It’s no secret that the teevee industry is in the doldrums, with ever sinking sales and the commoditisation of what was once razor-sharp top-notch technology. So these days, a model’s success all boils down to marketing and in this instance, Philips has done a very nice job of it indeed. Watch the Parallel Lines 5-film campaign and think about entering the competition as your response to an intriguing script. Just think – no guts, no glory!
