Disclosure have released “My High,” a high-octane collaboration with British rapper Slowthai and Oregon Mc Aminé that comes with an equally balls-to-the-wall music video. It’s the latest track shared from the U.K. dance duo’s upcoming album Energy, out August 28th via Capitol Records.
Directed by French filmmaker Simon Cahn, the music video for “My High” was shot pre-quarantine and features the two rappers, both of whom take part in a grand day out with a hospital patient in a stretcher. It’s violent, chaotic and very not safe for work.

If the title alone hasn’t made your eyes and cursor dash to the video player below this text then to quote Mrs Landingham, “Well gosh, Jed, I don’t even wanna know you.”
If you need a preamble then this is a Spike Jonze short using cut out animation called Mourir Auprès de Toi (To Die By Your Side) and it was made with Simon Cahn, whose work you can find here.
It’s just lovely.
Bad Ass Digest found this and shone a light on it for us and that’s enough reason to send them some kind of cake or something.

Why Watch? It’s from Spike Jonze. There’s no reason you should need to know more about it, but in case you’re curious, this inventive short film (which channels a few of the old Merry Melodies shorts set in libraries) was born out of a partnership between Jonze and artist/purse designer Olympia Le-Tan. With co-director Simon Cahn, Jonze tells the stop-motion story of a skeleton and a young woman from the covers of two famous novels, falling in love and getting into trouble. Vibrant and sweet, it’s a must-see. What does it cost? Just 7 minutes of your time.

Check This... The Spike Jonze co-directed with Simon Cahn stop motion short film ‘Mourir Auprès de Toi,' (To Die By Your Side) inspired by the work of fashion designer Olympia Le-Tan.
Here is a interview with Spike Jonzes on how the film came about:
How did the film come about?
I met Olympia in Paris through friends of mine. She was just starting to make the bags for her friends. She had a bunch of the scraps in her bag, all of the cut-out pieces of felt. I just loved it. I loved all the artwork she picked, the texture of it, the stitching of the felt. We joked about making a film and just went for it. It was this thing with no schedule, no pressure and no real reason to be—other than just that we thought it would be fun.
Did you write the story together?...

I haven't heard much about Spike Jonze's new short film Mourir Auprès de Toi (To Die By Your Side). The short is a charming felt cut-out stop-motion animated film that Jonze co-directed with Simon Cahn. The film was inspired by the work of fashion designer Olympia Le-Tan, and the full short is available online to watch.
The film is entertainingly fun, and it's no surprise that it was very well made. After all Jonze is a talented director who has fun making the films he works on. Here's what he had to say about the short and how it all came about...

We've featured several short films from director Spike Jonze before like his love story I'm Here, and Scenes from the Suburbs, a collaboration with the band Arcade Fire. Now we have yet another spectacular short film from the filmmaker who brought us such films as Adaptation and Being John Malkovich. Titled Mourir Auprès de Toi (To Die By Your Side), the lovely stop-motion animated short was co-directed with Simon Cahn and is based partly on the work of fashion designer Olympia Le-Tan complete with cut-felt characters that come to life from book covers from the Shakespeare & Company bookshop in Paris. Here's Spike Jonze's Mourir Auprès de Toi (To Die By Your Side) from Nowness (via The Playlist): Whimsical, peculiar and generally charming, this is yet another great notch on Jonze's filmmaking belt and the filmmaker says, "For this one the feeling definitely started with the handmade aesthetic and...

It.s remarkable that since his career launched somewhere around 1991, the prolific Spike Jonze has only directed three feature films. I still say .prolific. because the man is a whirlwind when it comes to cranking out short films, music videos, skateboard videos and assorted side projects. His latest, a short he co-directs with Simon Cahn, can be seen on Nowness.com. We have it here: Set in a Parisian bookstore after hours, the short is a sort of Toy Story for novels, where the inhabitants of some classic works come to life once the shopkeeper has left for the night. It.s titled Mourir Auprès de Toi (To Die By Your Side), and it.s far more surreal and tragic than any Pixar work. It is inspired by designer Olympia Le-Tan's handbags, believe it or not, and is far more sentimental than Jonze.s Where the Wild Things Are.

It's been months since we heard anything about Mourir Auprès de Toi (To Die By Your Side), the stop-motion animated short film that Spike Jonze co-directed with Simon Cahn, based in part on the work of fashion designer Olympia Le-Tan. The short features cut-felt characters animated as if they've come alive from the covers of books on a shelf; the setting is the famed Shakespeareand Company [1] bookshop that sits on the south side of the river Seine in Paris, right by Notre Dame. The short is a gorgeous little piece of work; it is pretty and sad and completely absurd. You can see it in full after the break. (Note that it is also vaguely Nsfw due to some, uh, skeleton sex.) Jonze says of the short, I met Olympia in Paris through friends of mine. She was just starting to make the bags for her friends. She had a...

Via Vulture, here's your chance to see "Mourir Auprès de Toi" ("To Die By Your Side"), the new film from "Being John Malkovich" and "Where the Wild Things Are" Spike Jonze. After premiering at Cannes' Critics Week and playing earlier this summer at the IFC Center in New York, Jonze's stop motion short found an online home at Nowness.com.
The film was co-directed by Simon Cahn and "created" by French designer Olympia Le-Tan, who makes the felt book covers that inspired the animation. Jonze apparently asked Le-Tan for a piece, and she agreed on the condition that he make a film as the payment for it. 3,000 pieces of felt later...

The short definitely has Jonze's trademark combination of peculiar beauty and low-brow humor. Old Paris bookshops and oral sex jokes; I love it.
This is Jonze's second awesome short of the year,...

Heads up, Spike Jonze fans. Fresh from its premiere at Critics Week at Cannes, Jonze's new short film -- "Mourir Auprès de Toi" -- premieres this Friday at the IFC Center in New York. The short will play before every regular feature at the theater for two weeks. Here is a little background on the project and a plot description from the press release:
"A collaboration between Jonze ('Being John Malkovich,' 'Adaptation,' 'Where the Wild Things Are') French designer Olympia Le-Tan and filmmaker Simon Cahn, the whimsical, humorous and poignant 'Mourir Auprès de Toi' was inspired by Ms. Le-Tan's accessory designs-embroidered felt adaptations of first editions of classic books. 'I just loved them and loved the world she was making,' Mr. Jonze explained "So I asked if I could have one. And she said yeah, if you want to make a film for it.

A making of video for Spike Jonze and Simon Cahn’s animated short film Mourir auprès de toi (To Die Next To You) has found its way online. The stop-motion film entirely handmade from felt will premiere May 18 in the Cannes Film Festival’s Critics’ Week. The idea for the animation was apparently inspired by French designer Olympia Le Tan and her line of designer clutches. You can see photos of the purse, and of Swinton carrying it, on the Olympia Le-Tan Tumblr.

It would seem to be as good a time as any to show a quick making of video/teaser for Spike Jonze and Simon Cahn's animated short film Mourir auprès de toi [To Die Next To You]. The short film will screen at Cannes next Wednesday. The idea of using felt cutouts for the animation was apparently inspired by French designer Olympia Le Tan and her line of designer clutches [small purses for the rest of us outside fashion circles]. It's pretty magical stuff. Me like. Thanks Manolis for the heads up...

Updated through 4/28.
La Semaine de la Critique, known in the English-speaking world as Critics' Week, is celebrating its 50th year, and festivals and institutions from all over — and we at Mubi are excited to be among them — are chiming in with special series and retrospectives saluting some the greatest film that have premiered at this parallel section of the Cannes Film Festival. Watch this space for upcoming details. Meantime, here's the lineup for Critics' Week 2011.
Feature Films
Hagar Ben Asher's The Slut. This debut feature "will tell of a woman (Ben Asher herself) drifting away from one sexual encounter to another," writes Eithan Weitz at Ioncinema. Tamar’s behavior is fixed. One man after another, a hand job, a blow job, and so on. But she is also the mother of Mika and Noa, 12 and 8. She no longer seeks redemption, until Shai arrives. He comes in order to handle his dead mother’s property.
