Ceri Levy follows up on his 1994 documentary Starshaped that covered the rise of Blur with a movie of Damon Albarn’s cartoon band Gorillaz. Levy followed the band over seven years watching them record, play and engage with their cartoon alter-egos. Babelgum is playing the film on its site for a month and if you have the spare hour and a half this evening it’s worth a watch to get an insight into one of the more imaginative and adventurous bands of the 00s.

A New Take on an Old Chinese Classic: Monkeys and Gorillaz
Best known for their collaborative music project, Gorillaz’s Jamie Hewlett and Damon Albarn have been commissioned by BBC Sports to create a short animated film for the upcoming Beijing Olympics. Based on the classic Chinese tale, “Journey to the West,” the new story is entitled “Journey to the East” and features a more modern-looking Monkey King, who must travel on a cloud to the newly opened Bird’s Nest.
