In a world of main-on-end credits, it’s refreshing to see prominent directors like Guillermo Del Toro embracing the power of opening credits to usher audiences from their ordinary lives into the realm of the film they’re about to see.

And this meticulously crafted, 100% CG sequence for Crimson Peak directed by IAMSTATIC and produced by Topix does exactly that.

Working for over five months, the team designed a series of vignettes that function on two levels. Independently, they are portraits of characters in the film, each object a clue to a personality or backstory. Collectively, they interlock to form an otherworldly sense of place, pulling the viewer deep into Del Toro’s Victorian universe.

The festival kicks off next month

There’s a dazzling projection art event coming to Sharjah.

Sharjah Light Festival is returning for 2022 with 11 nights of colourful projections and music. If this year is anything like previous festivals, our eyes are in for a treat.

The colourful festival is the first and only of its kind in the region and has been running for over ten years. It attracts thousands of visitors to up to 20 locations in Sharjah each year. The designs are inspired by local culture, stories and traditions.

The 2022 Sharjah Light Festival goes from February 9 to February 20 and is organized by the Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority.

The festival brings a kaleidoscope of creative lights and colour to Sharjah’s architecture. Diverse locations are featured during the annual show, with light and sound spectacles that transform them. (Have your camera ready.) The festival uses energy-saving lighting technology and all the lights and projectors used have passed certification for environmental compliance.

The Sharjah Light Festival also showcases the emirate’s rich heritage and historical monuments. Local and international artists, musicians and light technicians collaborate to showcase the emirate’s achievements.
