Justin has always managed to escape his own story. But his past catches up with him when he discovers his father’s VHS recordings and sees his mother as he’s never seen her before - young and healthy. When Justin was four, a brain stroke left her partially paralyzed and unable to speak. Seeing the mother he longed to have in his father’s recordings triggers him to confront his family’s misfortunes. With his father dead, his mother is the only person he can turn to for answers.

THE ISLAND

THE ISLAND

Chasing swell around the world is an integral part of Roby's life. And although it is very rewarding it is not always that easy. At the beginning of November I got a whattsup from Roby that said: "Africa is calling". Well, let's go to Morocco. It was not Morocco but it did not matter, 12 hours later I was in London with Roby and Nils ready for another adventure. We arrived on the island but the swell we monitored did not have the right direction. The search began. With the help of some locals we found some funny waves but it was not what we were looking for. At the end of the first week we decided to stop and wait for the second swell to come. We missed our flights but the waves did not arrive. Between sessions and more than 1000 km driven we became an integral part of the Island's culture, visiting every single spot and living with what this beautiful location had to offer. This was part of the journey and we found a way to spend time discovering things that we would never had the way to live directly. We lost another flight and the third week the swell finally showed up. But when you want something too much the worst things can happen and that's how life goes. Huge thanks to all the locals, you guys are special.

A Letter to Congress

A Letter to Congress

I originally set out to make this film as a sort of homage to Wallace Stegner and the enduring words he wrote in his famous 'Wilderness Letter' to Congress in 1960. His poetic appeal for robust and comprehensive conservation efforts of America’s wild lands gave me pause. In this current political climate his words began to take on new meaning. His plea for what wilderness can do for us is more relevant now than ever. Thousands of acres of our remaining public lands are threatened everyday. We need to stand together to protect America's wild lands from being sold off to the highest bidder. We must preserve wilderness as a "means of reassuring ourselves of our sanity as creatures, a part of the geography of hope."

Phenomenality

Phenomenality

(Español: Haz clic en CC para activar los subtítulos) This is the story of a big wave pioneer who “died more times than Jesus”, a man who constantly risked his life to find life, to find the edge or reason and overcome it. His name is Ric Friar and this is a story of ‘Phenomenality’. And like all good movies there was sex, death, bar brawls, and a heap of shit. Friar literally became the “King of Poo” and made a fortune in the process. It’s a life that sequences more like a feature length dream: a truly wild concoction of adventures constantly intersecting with equal measures of insanity and bravado, an unbridled grabbing of life by tha balls. • WORLD PREMIERE | 16th San Francisco Documentary Festival, California, USA (2017) • WINNER | Audience Award - DOC LA. - Los Angeles, USA (2017) • WINNER | 2nd place Jury Award - Audience Awards, Los Angeles, USA (2017) • WINNER | Best Directing – International Film Competition of Bali (2017) • WINNER | Rising Star – International Film Competition of Bali (2017) • SEMI-FINALIST | Near Nazareth Festival, Israel (2017) • OFFICIAL SELECTION: - Flickerfest International Short Film Festival, Australia (Academy Award® and BAFTA Accredited, 2018) - Melbourne Documentary Film Festival, Australia (2018) - Guangzhou International Documentary Film Festival, China (2017) - Sofia Independent Film Festival, Bulgaria (2017) - Utah Film Festival, USA (2018) - San Diego Surf Film Festival, USA (2018) - San Pedro International Film Festival, California, USA (2017) - Honolulu Surf Film Festival, Hawaii (2018) - Ocean Coast Film Festival, Portugal (2018) - Noosa Surf Film Festival, Australia (2017) - Barcelona Planet Film Festival, Spain (2017) Website: https://ift.tt/2KcBn28 Written & Directed by Lucas Jatobá https://ift.tt/2K7zyAv Executive Producers Ric Friar Wendy Harper wendy@1giantwave.com Producers Lucas Jatobá Ric Friar Wendy Harper Cinematographers Toby Heslop https://ift.tt/2KcBsms Lee Kelly http://leekelly.tv Underwater Cinematography Jon Shaw http://ginclearfilm.com Rick Rifici http://rickrifici.com Music Composer Zino Zeinero Animators Marie Larrive & Lucas Malbrun https://ift.tt/1YTuIaB https://ift.tt/242If6H Mulga https://ift.tt/1kAi27Y Cento Lodigiani https://ift.tt/13PnfS2 Tânia Falcão & Avelar Lucas http://falcaolucas.com Brian Neong San https://ift.tt/2IbJWFq Paul Ducco https://ift.tt/1xBEXBM Title Design Pragun Agarwal https://ift.tt/2K9h6Hw Editors Lucas Jatobá Toby Heslop Online & Grading Toby Heslop https://ift.tt/2KcBsms Sound Recordist Paul Smith Sound Mix & Design Nigel Crowley https://www.fsm.com.au Production Designer Cyma Hibri Production Assistant Luisa Daltro First AD Hugo Wilde VO Mark Kennedy https://ift.tt/2KcBCKA Hair & Make Up Desiree Wise https://ift.tt/2IbK1cc Pam Daniel Dempsey Rai Elizabeth Pozoglau Script Supervisors Ric Friar Wendy Harper Vocals Honey Soul Friar Ryan Garner Production Design Assistants Mairi Armour Kevin Oyarbide Jurden Urunuela Nadia Grijalba Jamal Hibri Amy Holland Brendan Donnellan Maira Widholzer Runners Phoebe Pike Burcu Tekin Gaffer Jyden Chancellor Wardrobe Wendy Harper BTS Camera Operator Justin De Knock Storyboards Michael Golding Special thanks to: Rick Marks Brett Saunders Evan Sturrock Jason Bowman Fraser Shiers https://ift.tt/15bmHG4 Starring: Wendy Harper Ric Friar Lucas Jatobá Honey Soul Friar Ryan Garner Marie Kennedy Garry Birdsell Josephine Roberte Nadia Jones Zazi Timar Jyden Chancellor Rusty Harris Gitte Mariussen Terry Matthews Tony Mathers Tony Flook Kevin Oyarbide Jurden Urunuela Chiara Emerson Giselle Emerson Ana M.

KILLING KLAUS KINSKI

KILLING KLAUS KINSKI

KILLING KLAUS KINSKI BY SPIROS STATHOULOPOULOS The hostility of the Amazon and its natural forces reaches superlative levels during the shooting of a film. The overpowering jungle and harsh weather lead the film crew to plot the assassination of the main actor. As in cinema that scrutinizes itself, we revisit in a vertiginous sequence shot a myth of the history of film when in the toughest part of filming Fitzcarraldo, Werner Herzog fantasize about killing actor Klaus Kinski.

Saṃsāra

Saṃsāra

Saṃsāra is a central belief in Dharmic religions. It permeates all forms of life, as a cyclical and ceaseless power dictating a succession of earthly existence. With Saṃsāra, my aim was to capture the vibrancy of India, its culture, and the elements of the Dharmic religions which encapsulate life in this beautiful nation. The Purusharthas, the main objectives of human life, also became a theme for the film. Gandhi’s words are used as a voiceover to help bring life to some of these ideas. The film closes with the end of human life in one of India’s Seven Holy Cities; Varanasi. Pilgrims come at the end of their lives to Varanasi, to die in the vicinity of the holy Ganges, as it is believed to be a site that can bring Moksha, liberation from cyclical life, and the ultimate goal of one’s existence. It is believed the sacred waters offer the Ātma, the inner soul, a path to the Brahman - the Ultimate Reality in the universe. This film is the culmination of three weeks exploring northern India, across Delhi, Bīkāner, Rāisar, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Pushkar, Tordi Sāgar, Jaipur, Āgra, and Varanasi, with GAdventures. Having been immersed in India’s vibrancy, and experiencing its wildly chaotic, yet perfectly synchronous culture, the premise for Saṃsāra gradually evolved into the product of this film.

Euphoria/Alegría

Euphoria/Alegría

The subject of my work is the old paradox between man and nature. People had long ago cut themselves off of their natural environment and have suffered since from this division, the lack of the essential feeling of unity and belonging. Although we do see nature’s own hierarchy we took a view too long to see how our human nature is defined by it, and, eventually started seeing ourselves as something different and separate. The overall truth however is hardly ever the truth of one unit, let it be in nature or our society. One’s joy might lead to another’s tragic fate. A crumb on my table is what you would need to survive. In this world everything is of the same value with equal importance, and everything has a spirit, a role and is filled with life. We humbly accept brutality as part of the world and by doing so we can also experience the unity that frees us all from the sufferings of isolation. We are all part of the same struggles and harmony, ‘lifeless’ elements and living creatures alike, of this frantic dance of euphoria and acceptance.

Directed and Edited by Jared Hogan Produced by Heather McEntire and Jared Hogan Cinematography by Christian Schultz Titles by Eric Hurtgen Color Graded by Jacob McKee at The Mill “In talking with Heather, we knew that we wanted this video to touch on universal wounds of depression and suffering, but established in a more poetic narrative. We also knew we wanted family and community play a integral role. All of the subjects in the video are connected to Heather’s life in one way or another and that was very important to us. The song strikes this balance between darkness and hope, and we wanted the video to do the same.” Rookie Mag (Feature + Premiere): http://www.bit.ly/rookie-hcmcentire Pitchfork Album Review: "Released on Merge Records, the singer-songwriter’s debut is a gorgeous devotional to the South that reshapes the traditions of country music into a powerfully queer and consequential set of songs." http://www.bit.ly/pitchfork-hcmcentire Contrast Films Caravan Cinema Co Stink Films

Mythos

Mythos

For centuries the Greek Myths have been used as cautionary tales and teaching tools for people both young and old. These stories convey deep wisdom about the human condition which continue to resonate with us. I wanted to honor these ancient stories by interpreting them in the age of the pixel and gif. The challenge was to communicate these complex stories in the most minimal way possible while retaining their essence. By having each vignette loop seamlessly, the timeless and perennial nature of these stories are reinforced. Ultimately these animations serve as visual shorthand for ancient truths which are as relevant today as they were when first told. Sisyphus: After numerous transgressions, Zeus decided to punish the deceitful king Sisyphus once and for all by forcing him to push a huge enchanted boulder up a steep hill. As soon as he reached the top, the boulder would roll back down to the base of the hill, condemning Sisyphus to an eternity of frustrated labor. 
 Icarus: King Minos imprisoned Icarus in a tower alongside his father, the master craftsman Daedalus. As a means of escape Daedalus created a set of wings made of feathers and wax for his son but warned him not to fly too close to the sun. Icarus did not however heed his father’s advice. His wings dissolved and Icarus fell into the sea below and drowned. 
 Persephone: The daughter of Zeus and Demeter, Persephone was abducted by the god of the underworld Hades. Although Zeus intervened and brought her back to the land of the living, Persephone was bound to Hades for four months of each year. In her grief, Demeter would make the soils barren thereby creating winter while Persephone’s return would mark the start of the spring. 
 Narcissus: As punishment for mortal Narcissus’ cruel treatment of the nymph Echo, he was cursed by Nemesis, the goddess of revenge. She led him to a pool where upon seeing his own reflection, he became besotted with his image and was unable to leave. Fixated, starving and in despair, he fell into the pool and drowned. 
 Midas: Having done a great service for the god Dionysus, King Midas was granted one wish of his choosing. He wished that everything he touched would turn to gold. Upon turning food, water and even his own daughter to gold however, he soon realized his foolishness and prayed to Dionysus to undo his wish. Dionysus took pity on King Midas and duly undid the wish. 
Theseus: A Greek hero of many adventures, Theseus is best known for his defeat of the Minotaur. Under the decree of King Minos, every year fourteen young Atheneans were sacrificed to the Minotaur - a monstrous half bull, half man who resided deep within the Labyrinth. Not only was Theseus able to slay the Minotaur but he also successfully escaped the complex Labyrinth, solidifying his legend.

More than three thousand insects appear in this film each for a single frame.

ENTRE CIEL ET TERRE - La Palma in 4K astrolapse

ENTRE CIEL ET TERRE - La Palma in 4K astrolapse

There are only a few regions in the world where the skies meet the Earth with almost no distinction between the two. La Palma in the Canary islands is one of them. ‘Entre Ciel et Terre’ literally means ‘Between the sky and Earth’ and was a perfect fit here. While most of the volcanic island is isolated under a thick layer of clouds, the tip of its crater often punches through it and allows you to be one step closer to the Heavens. At an altitude of about 2300 meters above sea level you feel so far removed from any kind of civilization especially because of the cloud inversion. The air is thin and pristine and the living conditions are harsh but that’s the reason why the ORM (Observatory Roque de Los Muchachos) -operated by the IAC (Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias) and part of the European Northern Observatory, was built up there. The summit of La Palma’s caldera benefits from dry and clear skies almost year round with almost no light pollution to disturb it, and only rare Calima (this dusty wind coming from the Sahara desert). It’s safe to say that the ‘Isla Bonita’ is one of the top places in the world to observe the northern hemisphere’s night sky! The purpose of this short was to capture that special place from a different perspective. I really wanted to give the audience sort of a confusion as to where they are because that’s precisely the feeling you get when you look up at the stars from the mountains. You somehow lose sense of any orientation as if you were lost in the immensity of the universe! One image that I had in my head to describe La Palma’s summit was Asgard or Mount Olympus, where all the elements are united and blend together divinely. Even life found a way to survive in this environment bombarded by high-energy rays during the day and battered by cold winds at night. One highlighted species is the fascinating and mind-boggling Tajinaste flower. Also called Tenerife Bugloss or tower of jewels, this docile and resilient endemic plant can endure extreme drought. I included it in the movie because it looks majestic and prehistoric. It really adds something special to the special atmosphere I wanted to convey, especially when the milky way galaxy and the sea of clouds move in the background! By tracking the night sky or displaying the sequences upside-down I was able to give that impression of the Earth floating and rotating in the void of the cosmos. The unusual but innovative close-up views of some parts of the milky way (including the core, Rho Ophiuchi or Cygnus) moving behind the operating telescopes of the OMC helped me give that only human dimension to the movie. The use of an astro-modified camera also enabled me to almost get the full range of colors a DSLR can pick up on single frames from nebulae. I already traveled to La Palma island in November 2017 but I really wanted to shoot there again for several reasons. First I really wanted to get more shots of the core region that would be less spoiled by light pollution than the ones I recently took on Tenerife. Secondly I desperately wanted to meet the extremely talented photographer Alyn Wallace (check him out: https://ift.tt/2ktJ2e9) and do a collaboration with him on the island. Thirdly I am still on my way of perfecting the novel art of deep-sky time-lapse and I wanted to reshoot some sequences that didn’t give satisfying results in the past. Finally I wanted to personally experience the Spring vibe of the island when all the plants are blooming and give that sweet smell to the air. I am absolutely thrilled to have met all my expectations (and more!), and I really believe the results look stunning! Everything was recorded with the Canon 6D Baader modified, the Sony a7s, the Sony a7rII and a variety of bright lenses ranging from 14mm to 300mm. I used the Lonely Speck Pure Night and Matt Aust Light pollution filters to reduce light pollution and increase details, and also the Vixen Polarie to track the stars and get cleaner shots. Syrp Genie 3 axis system was used for motion control. All post production was made in Lr with the special timelapse plus plugin, Sequence for mac, TLDF, and final production was made in FCPX.
