KALEIDOSCOPIC ISSUE TRAILER – THE UNTITLED MAGAZINE

A trailer of clips from the launch issue of XXXX Magazine, “The Untitled Magazine” revolving around the theme “Kaleidoscopic”.

XXXX MAGAZINE, “The Untitled Magazine” was founded by Indira Cesarine, who produced each issue, working alongside numerous artists and directors to create the original shorts for the magazine, which consisted entirely of multimedia productions. The video magazine featured fashion films and video art productions as well as addressed controversial topics in the media via documentary shorts. It took over 100 contributors to bring together the first issue, which revolved around the theme “Kaleidoscopic,” which was released in 2009.

Films in the “Kaleidoscopic” issue include productions such as “FOUR WALLS” a  fashion film directed by Indira Cesarine and Edward Symes in collaboration with designer Sue Stemp.  The film was shot at contemporary art building “EMERGE-N-SEE” In Chelsea and features the work of several contemporary artists including Aaron Young, Andrew Poneros, Hubert Le Gall and Jason Miller, among others. There is also a 5 minute documentary about the making of the film, and the artist’s work that is seen in the production. Another film which premiered in the issue was “COUNTERFEIT CONSPIRACY”. This is a 15 minute documentary exposé on the sale of counterfeit luxury goods and the press surrounding the “links” to funding terrorism. The documentary features a behind the scenes look at the illegal sale of such products in New York, as well as questions why there are so few arrests made for these type of crimes.  The issue featured 20 original productions, varying from 1 minute video art films to 25 minute documentaries.
