HiBROW,
a new online platform for the arts, launches this weekend with exclusive
content starring BAFTA and Academy Award winning actor and director Peter
Capaldi. HiBROW
has been set up by British director Don Boyd in collaboration with a team
curators including directors such as Sir Richard Eyre, film writer Mark
Cousins, artist Alison Jackson, conductor Vasily Petrenko, actress Tilda
Swinton and singer Gary Kemp.
Capaldi directed the Academy Award-winning live action short film Franz Kafka’s
It’s a Wonderful Life. He is most
renowned for his portrayal of Malcolm Tucker in the BBC political satire The Thick of It and the 2009 film In the Loop.
The
new content features an interview with Capaldi by writer, actor and musician
Richard Strange. This intimate conversation, in which Capaldi talks about his
Scottish roots and his time at the Glasgow School of Art, is part of Strange’s A Mighty Big If series which features
guests including Brian Cox, Simon Day, Kate Tempest, Gavin Turk and Robert
Wilson.

Inside the Mind Of Leonardo
Prepare to be amazed, says Julian Jones, whose new TV show mixes drama with computer wizardry to show how the great thinker's brain really worked...
Given the chance, wouldn’t most people like to travel back in time and get to know Leonardo da Vinci?
I know I would, but that being impossible my team and I have done the next best thing.
Inside The Mind Of Leonardo is our new Sky Arts/Sky 3D production that
draws on the 6,000 surviving pages of da Vinci’s private journals,
bringing the viewer closer than ever to the ultimate Renaissance man.
And what emerges is a picture
of an often deeply frustrated individual. Revered today for his
paintings – as he was in his own lifetime – his journals reveal that as
an engineer, architect, inventor, anatomist and philosopher too he
longed for fame and to be seen as a great mind as well as a brilliant
artist.
