This month we're launching Slow Food Films: a series of films exploring the depths of food culture through history to the present day, between reality and the imagination. Our first film is lo Sono L'Amore (I Am Love). Much like it's star, Tilda Swinton, this movie is unsettlingly beautiful.

Set in Milan and the Italian countryside, the movie follows the heroine’s transition from the gilded cage of upper-class Italian family life, to a more expressive existence with her chef-lover. Food is the medium bringing her out of her shell. A must see and taste too with Italian treats served.

Since John Cage, experimental music has paid greater attention to the sound universe which surrounds the musician. And since Alvin Lucier, space has been considered to be just as fundamental as time, when it comes to music.

Jonas Kocher has adapted their lessons wonderfully: his music rustles with microtones, the tapping of keys and the screeching of shutters, all of which evoke a delicate texture of viral harmonics woven together, which become lost in the air. (Fabien Simon)
