Operation Homecoming trailer. The Boat | 01storytelling. ‘The Boat’ is an interactive online graphic novel about escape after the Vietnam War. Written as a short story by Nam Le, the storyline centres around a teenage refugee Mai who is sent on the boat by her parents after the fall of Saigon. New York-based Australian artist Matt Huynh (whose parents fled Vietnam to Australia) created the illustrations using traditional Vietnamese bamboo calligraphy brush, paper and Sumi ink. These were then transformed by Matt Smith to impressively convey the depth of the story’s message on a screen. To top it off, Sam Petty engineered the incredibly realistic and even haunting sound effects, creating a true exploration of history using superb innovative storytelling. The entire project was produced by Australian broadcasting company SBS in commemoration of Vietnamese forty years resettlement in Australia. The story is divided into six chapters, embedded with either manual or auto-scrolling function.

The Wetsuitman. A gale was blowing from the south-west as the elderly architect put on his jacket and rubber boots and went to face the elements. Down in the bay, four metre high waves crashed against the cliffs and sent sea spray hundreds of metres across the grazing land at Norway’s southernmost tip. The first thing the architect noticed when he approached the sea was a wetsuit.

It lay stretched out on the small patch of grass between the cliffs, right outside the reach of the waves. “That might be useful,” the architect thought. It was rare for him or anyone else in the village to take a walk down there. The wetsuit could have been here for a long time. He could smell seaweed and the sea and a faint, sickly scent of something else. The wetsuit was the Triboard brand. Sherriff Kåre Unnhammer from Farsund police station is an authoritative figure with large serious eyes, a big moustache and gold teeth that gleam when he speaks. “This is a peaceful place,” says Unnhammer. John Welzenbagh knew this. “No. Interactive guides. Paroli • ...aus dem Sonnensystem. STATE OF TERROR. There’s never been such a meticulously organised extremist group. A huge cache of secret documents seized with former IS leaders, Abu Hajjar and Abdul Rahman al-Bilawi, reveal a detailed pyramid hierarchy. At the top is its reclusive and mysterious leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, its self-proclaimed Caliph of the Caliphate.

Under him are a series of bodies: the all-guiding Shura Council, the Cabinet, the Military Council, the Sharia Council and the Security Council made up of the Governors of each province or ‘willayat’. Then there’s its highly professional propaganda machine, al-Hayat, with its vast social media output. The platform for this unprecedented terror enterprise was carefully laid during the lean years of its predecessor al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI). With echoes of modern corporations, IS has even issued annual reports with performance targets containing full details of foreign recruits, assassinations and the tally of “unbelievers” forced to convert. And the cost of living is high. FLUG MH17 | Auf der Suche nach der Wahrheit. Über uns - Do Not Track. A Bizarre Night in Thailand. A Short History of the Highrise.

Atterwasch - a Scroll-Doc. It may not be the end of the world, but it could be the end of Atterwasch, population 241. While Chancellor Angela Merkel has promised her country a future virtually free of fossil fuels, it may seem strange that this village in eastern Germany, and two neighboring ones, are still fighting plans to wipe them, quite literally, off the map. But Germany’s sudden hunger for coal has emerged as the dirty side of Ms. Merkel’s ambitions to shut down the country’s nuclear power plants by 2022 and eventually move Germans mostly to renewable energy...

Regulations. The Last Clinic | Atavist - Where Stories Begin. Alexandra Garcia Multimedia. Documentary Has The Future Covered | Gerry Flahive. Documentary was once seen as the castor oil of cinematic genres: it was supposed to be "good for you," but it didn't taste very good. Aside from the fact that this just wasn't true -- the adjectives "boring" and "dutiful" applied equally to many dreary fiction films -- today documentary might be the coolest cultural form around, and new digital technologies are part of the reason documentaries are connecting with new audiences in innovative ways.

Documentary films, at their very best, are exemplars of cinematic storytelling -- astonishing, delighting, inspiring and enlightening us, and doing so in ways fiction can't, by framing real life in ways we haven't considered before. Although some broadcasters have abandoned documentary in favour of reality television (which is akin to giving up a great painting for a really bad photocopy of it), audiences haven't. As it turns out, international audiences really like Canadian stories. Events | Open Documentary Lab at MIT.
