With temperatures soaring 032c’s title is apt for the Australian summer and so is its content if you want something more inspiring than a Sodoku puzzle to pass the time.

They have been doing what they do for a while so you can rest assured that the content of Issue 12 is finely tuned. Varied but carefully contructed, well-written articles are complimented by exact imagery. With his recent 60th birthday, the feature on Bowie in Berlin is timely, and the rogue architecture of Raumlabor - whose use of bubbles put bubble-boy David Vetter to shame - is fascinating. Some other snap-shots include NYC punk-duo Japanther and myth-making artist Terence Koh whose fictionalised work has been well received by other artists from A.A Bronson, Larry Clark to Bruce LaBruce*.

Acclaimed author Thomas Pynchon (Crying Lot Of 49) has contributed a short-story to bend your mind and other contributors such as Juergen Teller, who shot the cover of French actress Amira Casar, give 032c a quality that extends far beyond the magazine rack. One of 032c’s catch-cries is finding the new in the old, and the old in the new’ and when so many great things get lost in the clutter this is definitely something that we can believe in. 

* Bruce LaBruce will be exhibiting as part of the The Brotherhood Exhibition at Neon Parc. - For more details see LOOK.

In an age of million dollar film clips and Kanye mouthing off at the MTV awards, it’s not uncommon to feel that the art of capturing the meaning of music through film has been lost.

The Super 8 Diaries is a project conceived by Trainwreck 20/20 founders Matt Richards and Jeremy Rouse and put simply, it involves 12 bands, playing one song each, shot using three separate Super 8 cameras. If you are expecting the Wonder Years then think again. The music is as raw as the footage and you won’t find My Disco, Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Baseball or The Tigers posing for the camera.

You can view parts of the project at the Super 8 Diaries MySpace or at the Trainwreck 20/20 homepage, but if you want to see the completed projected you better attend the gig this Saturday to help raise some funds. For gig details click here.

When Christopher Guest - writer of This Is Spinal Tap’ and Waiting For Guffman’ -releases a new film, you can’t help but feel both excited and burdened with the weight of expectation. You expect wit. You expect loveable, awkward characters. You expected Eugene Levy. And thankfully, you get it (and them) all.

For Your Consideration’ follows a group of Hollywood players working on an small, independent film ‘Home for Purim’. Mocumenting the film within the film, Guest (who also plays the director on screen) depicts the egos, the relationships and the bizarre antics using characters from all facets of the media industry: the PR machine, the television hosts, the writers, the director, the producer, the business men and of course, the actors. 

With ridiculous one-liners and a guest appearance from Ricky Gervais (who, it’s confirmed, will never shake off Brent), the only criticism we might have of Guest’s ‘For Your Consideration’ that it is well, so very Guest. But who has time for bitching anyway.

There’s nothing quite like a written statement to get you excited about an experience. So read what a few industry heavies have said about Michaels ‘World Famous’ Camera Museum on Elizabeth St… "Bigger collection than we have in Tokyo. Wonderful!" said Mr T Karasawa from Olympus Optical in Japan and Mr Karwano from Minolta Pty. Ltd. was “thrilled by the excellent collection".

Although in a less technically minded way, we too were impressed by the museum. There are ‘Steinbeck’ camera-watches from 1949 fit for James Bond, gold cameras to make Jay-Z blush, red Ferrari cameras for Schumacher fans and cameras that look like gas masks, time-machines and frill-neck lizards.

Although quite small, the museum has glass cases packed with all sorts of cameras that will impress both the novice and the professional - it is ‘World Famous’ after all.
