The Irish team behind the very first SweetTalk idea are back with Offset 2012, their stunning international design event taking place in Dublin over three days beginning on Friday March 9. An insanely good lineup in a graphic-design heavy programme sees speakers such as Kyle Cooper @ Prologue Films, Michael Beirut @ Pentagram,Shepard Fairey / OBEY (USA) and Stefan Sagmeister amongst many others take to the stage in Dublin’s beautiful Grand Canal Theatre for inspirational presentations. With thousands of available hotel rooms floating around Dublin and easy flights from Denmark with Norwegian and SAS it’s well worth considering this inspirational spring shot to the head.
There’s one week left to get the early bird tickets (€150) and there are group and student rates also available.
Thanks to everyone who came out for the two nights of our Urbanized screenings at CPH:DOX. Also thanks to Gary Hustwit for coming over for the events, our supporters at Plant and DAC and the ever-wonderful people at Grand Teatret. Not forgetting Vitamin Well too who made sure those who came to the screening left with some healthy, non-alcoholic drinks appropriate to the end of the DOX week. It was amazing to complete Gary’s trilogy (Helvetica, Objectified) here in Copenhagen with Urbanized. Three fascinating films that we were very proud to be a part of bringing to town. Here are some photos from the night. Limited edition Copenhagen event posters designed by Build will be on sale on the site here very soon – we’ll keep you posted.
Our friends at Plant have a competition running to win two tickets to our sold-out screening of Urbanized this coming Sunday, in Grand Teatret at 21.30. Enter here. Also, we’ve just sent the ltd. edition Copenhagen poster for Urbanized to print. They’ll be available at the cinema on the night and through this website for a limited time afterwards.
SweetTalk Cph and Plant are happy to say that our screening of Urbanized at CPH:DOX has sold out. Watch out on the day as some more tickets may become available but if you got in early, well done! We look forward to seeing you there.

Good, good news. SweetTalk and Plant are teaming up with some great organisations for one of our biggest big movie events. We’re going to announce it this Friday afternoon and fans of what we’ve done before won’t want to miss it. Keep an eye on this site and on on our facebook page for details.
Thanks to everybody who came out on June 22 for the PressPausePlay screening. The 10th SweetTalk Copenhagen was a great success – the movie gave everyone something to think and talk about for sure, and the Campari afterwards kept the evening and the conversation going strong. Here’s a few photos from the evening. SweetTalk Cph and Plant will be back with another event after the summer. Sign up for our mailing list (in the right column) to stay up to date.
Here’s some photon from the night by Anders Hviid.
Sweettalk and Plant are super happy to announce that directly after the screening of PressPausePlay this coming Wednesday evening (22 June at 21.30) we are going to have a ‘Creative Lounge’ in the café of Grand cinema, sponsored by the delicious Campari. What a perfect way to enjoy one of the longest evenings of the year, hanging out with a nice creative bunch of people for an after-movie chat and having some gratis Campari served to you. Just show your movie ticket to the people in the Campari bar (it’ll be in the back room, not at the regular bar). Here’s what one of those drinks will look like…
I know, you’re feeling thirsty already. Us too.
Book your tickets now at Grand’s website here. Full details in the previous post.
A documentary on the state of creative digitized culture today
Grand Teatret, 22 June 2011 at 21.30.
Continuing our theme of bringing inspiring films on creativity to Copenhagen, SweetTalk Cph and Plant bring you ‘PressPausePlay‘. Recent winner of ‘Best Documentary’ at the Santa Cruz Film Festival, this Swedish produced film looks at how the digital age has had democratised culture, unleashing creativity and unlimited creative opportunities. But does democratized culture mean better art, film, music and literature or is true talent instead flooded and drowned in the vast digital ocean of mass culture? Is it cultural democracy or mediocrity?
PressPausePlay contains interviews with some of the world’s most influential creators of the digital era. From Bill Drummond to Lykke Li,from Moby to Hot Chip and Robyn, as well as contributions from the creators of The Hype Machine, Napster, Pitchfork and many, many more. The film was shot globally between August 2009 – January 2011, covering more than 150 hours of interview footage with international creatives and thinkers and is a document on the state of digitized culture today.
This is the full length-version and will be screened with a special video introduction for Copenhagen by the directors. There’ll be a chance to mingle and chat over a drink in the foyer after the screening.
Film is in English, with no subtitles.
Tickets are 80kr. and available to buy here through Grand’s website (use the drop down menu on the right to chose the date).

While cleaning up around the office we found two posters from the Copenhagen screening of Objectified – and these were signed my the director himself, Gary Hustwit. There are tiny creases in the posters, but not very noticeable. If you would like one mail me at this address and I’ll confirm that you can have one of the signed ones, then simply order one as normal through the Poster Shop link above.
