6 Mind Expanding Movies That Will Make You Question Reality And Life

6 Mind Expanding Movies That Will Make You Question Reality And Life
by Sofia Some movies are made to touch our heart and soul with an overabundance of sentiment. They make us come in touch with our humanity and empathy. And some films are made to touch our mind, to get our mental cogs working, to awaken and expand our consciousness. 1. What is a dream, and what is reality? 2. “Samsara” is a little documentary film made in 2011, by the same people who had collaborated on two similar in terms of style and theme films in the last decades, “Baraka” and “Chronos”. 3. “Uncle Boonmee” came out in 2010 and was the first Thai film to win the Palme d’Or. The film was actually the last part of a loosely linked film trilogy, titled “Primitive”, and was mostly focused on a particular area of Thailand. It deals with matters of memory, transformation, reincarnation, and the nature of things facing death. 4. A very recent film, released just a few months ago, with Scarlett Johanson in one of her best, if not her best, performances in her entire career. 5. 6. Source: Related:  Arts

The Unconformity: beauty and devastation collide in isolated Tasmanian mining town | Josephine Rowe | Culture The descent into Queenstown, Tasmania, is one of disparate and formidable beauty. As the Lyell highway wends its way through hairpin bends, the surrounding mountainsides shed world heritage forest, shed trees of any kind, becoming the region’s famed lunar dreamscape. The magenta, ochre and smoky-green hues of the denuded hillsides are remarkable to look at, cast in a slightly different glow at every turn, recalling the mesas of New Mexico, or the Painted Desert (Arizona or South Australia, whichever you fancy). But this beauty is complicated by its genesis – more than a century of extensive mining has decimated the area: minerals are hauled out of the earth, and decades of sulphurous smelter fumes allow little in the way of regeneration. Beauty and devastation is but the first of many incongruous pairings to be encountered over the course of Queenstown’s three-day arts festival, the Unconformity. A remote and depleted mining town may seem an unlikely location for an arts festival.

Ele leva a manipulação da raça humana e da natureza da realidade para novos níveis de entendimento e pede para a humanidade se levantar da sua actual posição ajoelhada e tomar o mundo de volta das garras de uma rede sinistra de famílias e de entidades não-humanas que secretamente nos controlam desde o berço até ao túmulo. David Icke ultrapassou os limites tantas vezes desde o seu incrível "despertar" em 1990 e aqui ele faz isso de novo. Parte 1/4: I Am Not David Icke - Eu não sou David Icke. Parte 2/4: Moon Control - Controle da Lua. Parte 3/4: The Global Agenda - A Agenda Global. Parte 4/4: Vibrações da Verdade - Truth Vibrations.

Suzanne Plunkett | Iconic Photos Iconic Photos looks back at the most powerful images from the day that created thousands of them. Apart from annual national holidays, history scarcely invokes events by the dates on which they occurred, but September 11 immediately joined the Fifth of November and the Ides of March as a day that would forever live in infamy. And this month, newspapers, magazines and blogs will commemorate the tenth anniversary of that harrowing day. Some will be personal and introspective, others will invoke history’s long arc, and we at IP will take a photographic trip down the memory lane back to that September morning everyone claims he remember vividly. There are two approaches and two parts to this retrospective. Lead photo: Robert Clark saw the second plane approaching the WTC from his rooftop in Willimasburg, Brooklyn; For these four photos, Clark won the World Press Award. Many photographers were in New York, covering the U.S. Suzanne Plunkett was covering the DKNY fashion show that morning.

These Mesmerizing GIFs Illustrate the Art of Traditional Japanese Wood Joinery These Mesmerizing GIFs Illustrate the Art of Traditional Japanese Wood Joinery For centuries before the invention of screws and fasteners, Japanese craftsmen used complex, interlocking joints to connect pieces of wood for structures and beams, helping to create a uniquely Japanese wood aesthetic that can still be seen in the works of modern masters like Shigeru Ban. Up until recent times, however, these techniques were often the carefully guarded secrets of family carpentry guilds and unavailable for public knowledge. Even as the joints began to be documented in books and magazines, their 2-dimensional depictions remained difficult to visualize and not found in any one comprehensive source. That is, until a few years ago, when a young Japanese man working in automobile marketing began compiling all the wood joinery books he could get his hands on and using them to creating his own 3-dimensional, animated illustrations of their contents.

Official Dorothea Mackellar Website :: Poetry Archive :: My Country The love of field and coppice,Of green and shaded lanes.Of ordered woods and gardensIs running in your veins,Strong love of grey-blue distanceBrown streams and soft dim skiesI know but cannot share it,My love is otherwise. I love a sunburnt country,A land of sweeping plains,Of ragged mountain ranges,Of droughts and flooding rains.I love her far horizons,I love her jewel-sea,Her beauty and her terror -The wide brown land for me! A stark white ring-barked forestAll tragic to the moon,The sapphire-misted mountains,The hot gold hush of noon.Green tangle of the brushes,Where lithe lianas coil,And orchids deck the tree-topsAnd ferns the warm dark soil. Core of my heart, my country! Core of my heart, my country! An opal-hearted country,A wilful, lavish land -All you who have not loved her,You will not understand -Though earth holds many splendours,Wherever I may die,I know to what brown countryMy homing thoughts will fly. Dorothea Mackellar

Fractal Shorts — Julius Horsthuis Once, on a Friday, the render farm was idle and I decided it would be a waste if nothing would be rendering over the weekend. I quickly did a 'fly-though' of a simple fractal, and tweaked some sliders.The next Monday, after having checked the renders, I told myself it didn't look that good - no real progression, no revelation, ugly colors and too much morphing detail, causing serious frame blending artifacts when time stretched. (I always time stretch the fractals- as rendering every frame is usually too render intensive)After a couple of weeks I tried some things with the raw renders, and saw that black and white really improved the look. This movie has been re-rendered into the virtual reality experience 'from nothing', however it looks and sounds totally different.

Revolutionary easel improves your artwork. Remove aches and pains When you remove the visual, physical and emotional barriers traditional A and H frame easels place in the way of artists and replace them with an ARTristic Easel, the results are remarkable. As are the testimonials of adventurous and forward thinking artists that decide to paint with one. CLICK HERE TO READ THEM By rotating the large winged bracket at the top of the tripod, the centre shaft can be raised and locked to give another 30cm in canvas height if required. Painting by Sydney artist Jane James Rotate your painting with a push or pull of a hand and leave in any position you chose as you continue painting. The tripod leg section can be removed from the HUB and folds down fast and easy to just 66cm in lenght (26inches) The top leg section is 30cm in diameter, the second 25mm and the third 20mm. Pulling on the "leg lock panel" at the top of each leg, will allow you to swivel each leg outwards and upwards and lock again in any position between vertical and horizontal. 1. 1. 3. 3. 2.
