And the NEXT new thing.

Now that ^

Now this. ^

DESIGN: an idea for creating a circumstance who’s time has come. For 40+ years, SI has repeatedly sold the idea💡of “the next big thing” and as each decade passes, it gets pushed on to the next decade. We get the skepticism. So, here we are at MMXX. . . . and nothing notable has happened yet. The old adage “If you build it, they will come” is a rue. The fact is you have to know what you are doing after you build it to get them to come. . . . DESIGN The siff.nyc GOLD color was created here as an extension of the gold that has replaced the harsh starkness of Black & White design palette, appropriated from the hipster culture. @binknyc . . . • These letters were recreated and lifted directly from the lettering on the side of the SI (aka South) Ferry. • The circle was added to ground the logo and emit the feel of a sporting team (diagonal leaning). • Logos generally have to be readable at 1/4” all the way up to 30’. • They have to be PRINT-ready on a tee-shirt and merchandise (so no halftones, dot gains, nor line screens). • To be disruptive and stand out in a digitally cluttered world (Inspiration by designer, @DavidCarson) • To be read through a hierarchy: 1- “SI” then, 2- “nyc” and in that order. • The italic in the logo was also inspired by “old medical illustrations” so the lower case version (“f”) in Times New Roman is similar to the “f” in fig. (figure). • To be pleasing to the SI crowd. • To “feel elegant and elevated” even in a basic and banal way. • To seem simple like a 1970s Style. • To seem different enough to warrant curiosity. • To repeat the diagonals of the SI-nyc lettering as in economic bar charts 📈 (x/y) showing steep growth (rather than decline), from a lower left to an upper right direction. • OVERALL to sharply avoid the cliché and passé of outdated 33mm film reels and traditional film grabbers commonly associated with “film festivals” and posters. • To mostly be TYPE driven so we can change the artwork, as need be, from year to year. • To feel organic, fluid, plant-like (almost like graffiti). . Enough about the logo? Capiche? 😳😉😂😎 Design by @binknyc

Brilliant. Just brilliant. . . . #Repost @laermer with @make_repost ・・・ So looking forward to this exciting event. . . . ‪#siff‬ ‪#nyc‬ ‪#siffnyc‬ ‪#newyork‬ ‪#statenisland‬ ‪#statenislandny ‬ ‪#siny‬ ‪#filmfestival‬ ‪#sinyc‬ ‪#MMXX‬ ‪#everybodyhappens‬

DESIGN: The logo for the Staten Island film fest was arrived at due to a number of well-thought-out considerations. The more you know... . . . • The Orange color is lifted from the SI Ferry. • “ff” is from the Western, Italian music notation symbol for “fortissimo,” meaning “very loud.” • Times New Roman font was chosen because 37+% of the (pop.) natives in SI are of Italian decent. (If Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell are correct, we are preaching to the choir and this is primarily, subconscious). “Times New Roman” as chosen (Roman = Italian and Bodoni was a definite contender). • The font “Times New Roman” was developed and refined by The NY Times (New York) newspaper (arguably one of the greatest newspaper of our time). • The brand reflects “the common man” persona and there is nothing more common than the Rome New Roman font as it is usually the default font on everyone’s computer. Logo was designed by @binknyc . . . aka #breuk #iversen #timesnewroman #nytimes #aigadesign #font #graphicdesign ‪#siff‬ ‪#nyc‬ ‪#siffnyc‬ ‪#newyork‬ ‪#statenisland‬ ‪#statenislandny ‬ ‪#siny‬ ‪#filmfestival‬ ‪#sinyc‬ ‪#MMXX‬ ‪#everybodyhappens‬ #italian

A PROPER way to fold and dispose of an old American flag. This begs the questions: Can we put a French flag 🇫🇷 in there or a British flag 🇬🇧? The colors are the same. . Is this box okay for disposing a Libyan flag or a Sri Lankan flag too? . . How about Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts flags? How about a Pirate flag or a NYC City flag? It’s never safe to assume. I think we need to ask around to find out more. Some flags don’t get along with other flags. Then, sometimes this changes from year to year. . . . #confusion #flagsareflags #whichflags #witchflags #goodflag #badflag #retiredflags #sixflags 🇬🇧🇫🇷😎👉🏼🎥 ‪#siff‬ ‪#nyc‬ ‪#siffnyc‬ ‪#newyork‬ ‪#statenisland‬ ‪#statenislandny ‬ ‪#siny‬ ‪#filmfestival‬ ‪#sinyc‬ ‪#MMXX‬ ‪#everybodyhappens‬ ‪#julienmcroberts ‬ Photography by @julienmcrobertsphotography

The 13 awards for the Staten Island Film Festival (siff.nyc) have been named the “Lady Liberty Awards.” The prize packages will include cash prizes as well as other surprises. We want to assure that the filmmakers get paid for their hard work, genius, creativity and ability. . . . . “Statue of Liberty” created by Andy Warhol (1986). . . . ‪#siff‬ ‪#nyc‬ ‪#siffnyc‬ ‪#newyork‬ ‪#statenisland‬ ‪#statenislandny ‬ ‪#siny‬ ‪#filmfestival‬ ‪#sinyc‬ ‪#MMXX‬ ‪#everybodyhappens‬

THE FACIAL SIMILARITIES between the “King of Rock and Roll” and THE “Statue of Liberty” seem to be on point and strangely #ironic . . . #1977 #elvispresley77 #elvis #thekingofrocknroll #spyropoulos #djfurniture #thriftstorefinds #statueofliberty🗽 ‪#siff‬ ‪#nyc‬ ‪#siffnyc‬ ‪#newyork‬ ‪#statenisland‬ ‪#statenislandny ‬ ‪#siny‬ ‪#filmfestival‬ ‪#sinyc‬ ‪#MMXX‬ ‪#everybodyhappens‬

Statue of Liberty, Andy Warhol (1986). The master POP ARTists gave US back many of the images we already had in our heads through the “Mere Exposure Effect” and massive advertising campaigns paid for by their companies. This familiarity would eventually breed contempt but, this cognitive awareness and transformation is just one thing that all Fine Art should do. . . . We will look for this type of referencing in the screenings for the Staten Island Film Festival (siff). . . . .

Spoiler: There’s the good news and there’s the bad news. . . First, the Good News! . The Staten Island film festival ( siff.nyc ) is primarily an industry event for professionals in film, TV, cable and movie industry. So, that’s the good news, but it’s also the bad news. Many cool celebrity and special industry-related events are by invitation only, some requiring an all-access pass (industry). . Maybe you know somebody that knows somebody. The question is: “Is this cheating?“ . The other Good News is that most of the movies will be available digitally for online membership (a modest fee will apply). The public part of siff.nyc will feature many brand new artist installations and psychotic, yet unique, island experiences. . If you can get to the island and leave alive after this little festival, consider yourself lucky. That’s just how we roll here. . . #kingofrockandroll #elvis #pelvis #siffnyc #petedavidson Thank you for following! 🗽🎬📽🎥💥 ‪#siff‬ ‪#nyc‬ ‪#newyork‬ ‪#statenisland‬ ‪#statenislandny ‬ ‪#siny‬ ‪#filmfestival‬ ‪#sinyc‬ ‪#MMXX‬ ‪#everybodyhappens‬

September 2020, siff.nyc will host its revival film festival, celebrating nyc and the once Forgotten and now Unexpected Borough. Updates will be announced here, March 2020 (MMXX). We are are so, so hot for film. Movies are our ❤️. We get a all touchy-feely about them. There will be many people to meet, plenty to eat, libations, opportunities amuck, and are privately inviting the cast of Spartacus for some elbow rubbing and heart-warming. Meet buyers, producers, directors, and peers who attend for you to sell your film. You sell yourself like a cheap tart on a red light district street. 😍 In March MMXX, we’ll have the deets on dates and places.

Our Partners are delighted to learn that siff.nyc is now run by an agency focused on hitting that all-important ROI. Every thing goes, from celeb gift suites, guerrilla marketing, to neuro-charged brand opportunities—memorable sights to behold. . It’s a mind-altering orgasm for earned media, if you pardon the “French.” And boy, oh boy, do we have some Partners opps for you. . What!?! You have a crazy idea? Oh ho, let’s talk. . Give a call. Let’s see what we do. . You don’t have a plan? Okay. You do? Good. Pick up the phone before we call your boss. . Oh, you are the boss?

The siff.nyc film festival features an array of national and international filmmakers, both new and old, who may have been glanced over at the numerous other nyc film festivals. Yes, this means that you should bring us your tired, your sick, and your hungry. Together we shall raise them up. Let’s return dignity back into a Staten Island of grace.
