Eames: The Architect and the Painter - 2011 - FULL DOCUMENTARY Videos Straight-away I was reminded of Jake Fried, but only in materials/process. It’s clear that Emanuele is also intuitively fleshing out the movement frame-by-frame as he goes but his work is unique in that there’s no figurative elements to recognize; only abstract geometry and form that, when quilted together, comes across as both familiar and foreign. I’m reminded of the notebooks I used to fill with random scribbles while bored out of my mind in high school: I’d start with a stray line or a random shape and then try to make sense of it with the remaining paper, as if the choatic mess left by my pen was what I had intended to create from the beginning. It was a way to pass the time and entertain myself instead of blankly staring at the clock, fantasizing about the bell that would eventually set me free. Thanks for passing this one along, Sam Lillard! P.S. [ It's Called "Moon" ] [ The Jump ] P.S. [ Austin Anijam 2014 - The Octopus Project "Mmkit" ] [ Wagon Christ - 'Shadows' ] “I do for sure.

Julia Roberts plays Mother Earth and Harrison Ford stars as the Ocean as Hollywood A-list 'speaks out for nature' | Environment Ecosystem services. You’ve nodded off already, haven’t you?

The Nature is Speaking initiative is organised by Conservation International with the tag-line: “Nature doesn’t need people. “I have been here 22,500 times longer than you. “I have fed species greater than you and I have starved species greater than you,” Mother Earth warns. Harrison Ford as the Ocean is the most ominous. Other star turns released so far include Kevin Spacey as a cruelly sarcastic Rainforest: “Humans are so smart, such big brains, opposable thumbs. Edward Norton is the Soil, the thin layer providing the world’s food. The final film released so far is Penélope Cruz as Water.

Hollis Frampton Biography "Hollis Frampton is known for the broad and restless intelligence he brought to the films he made, beginning in the early '60s, until his death in 1984. In addition to being an important experimental filmmaker, he was also an accomplished photographer and writer, and in the 1970s made significant contributions to the emerging field of computer science. He is considered one of the pioneers of what has come to be termed structuralism, an influential style of experimental filmmaking that uses the basic elements of cinematic language to create works that investigate film form at the expense of traditional narrative content. Along with Michael Snow and Stan Brakhage, he is one of the major figures to emerge from the New York avant-garde film community of the 1960s. Frampton's legendary intellect and equally legendary stubbornness announced themselves early. At the age of 15, he applied on his own volition to the prestigious Phillips Academy and was accepted on a full scholarship.

A beautiful short film about the circus and some very important life lessons. It is the Grand Prize winner of The Doorpost Film Project and has gone on to win many prizes at festivals around the world. Beautiful and inspiring. This film brought tears to my eyes. by tammster Oct 17
