I'd like to meet:
find us on Facebook and make friends with an anthropomorphic film and television production company.
Music:
circusfilms likes to unwind on an evening with a glass of port, some german mountain cheese and all manor of lo-fi, post-punk weirdness issuing joylessly from its stereo.
at the moment circusfilms
is getting itself damp to - TV on the radio, broken social scene, cannibal ox, sleater-kinney, black heart procession, sufjan stevens, soul coughing, tom waits, smoosh, cinematic orchestra, blackalicious, the decemberists, the cure, john coltrane, boards of canada, the gossip, david byrne, the walkmen, ...and you will know us by the trail of dead, RJD2, the shins, stars, deftones, faith no more, roots manuva, saul williams, electrelane, public enemy, mf doom, madvillain, miles davis, cat power, louis armstrong, cex, squarepusher, jurassic 5, aim, the buzzcocks, clap your hands and say yeah, juana molina, tapes 'n tapes, battles...

as a semi-literate film and television company, circusfilms has been known to while away the long hours spent travelling between exotic locales, pretending to read the following essential texts, whilst clandestinely peeking at a French lingerie pamphlet.
