BRUJAS by Red Bull



► Click here for BRUJAS' full feature on The Red Bulletin: http://win.gs/BRUJAS You may have heard of BRUJAS before — the group of young activists in New York holding their own in the male-dominated skateparks spread through the city. But pinning BRUJAS as just a rare, female skate gang would be cursory at best. BRUJAS defines itself as “an urban, free-form, creative and autonomous organization that seeks to build radical political coalition through youth culture. The group expresses community through skateboarding, art and political organizing.” Without further adieu, meet the New York skateboarders shaking the system beyond four wheels.

She's All That and the Power of Transformation by Kentucker Audley



She’s All That introduced American teenagers to high-stakes bets in their high school halls. If Freddie Prinze Jr. was gonna make the dorky Laney Boggs prom queen, he was gonna need to give her an extreme makeover because as it is, she’s ugly — she has glasses, a bad haircut and she doesn’t tweeze her eyebrows. This movie shows us her transformation in a highly entertaining 90 minutes. At first, audiences must sit there and think, “There’s no way,” but by the end you’re seeing she’s actually pretty hot and has a decent shot at beating Taylor Vaughn for prom queen. So sit back and relax and enjoy my video essay and make sure to watch till the end as I edit together a special “what if” ending. Also, be sure to go re-watch this iconic movie from 1999 that was made by Miramax Films.

LOVE by Paradigm Publishing



We are excited to announce Jonathan Rentschler’s photo book “LOVE” now available for pre-order through Paradigm Publishing and a short film to promote the book documenting the last days of LOVE Park and the destruction of the plaza. About the book: LOVE, follows the last generation of LOVE Park inhabitants, showing life as it was within this notorious urban plaza. Over a 3 year span, the images tell a story of a deep rooted community, existing in the shadow of a police state manipulated by a biased local city government. Ultimately becoming victim of urban revitalization, the park closed in February 2016 for a projected $16 million complete renovation. The diehard locals never leave, and continue to skate the plaza as it turns to rubble. In the end, LOVE is about loss. About LOVE Park: LOVE Park (1965-2016), also known as John F. Kennedy Plaza, was located in the center of Philadelphia. Architect Vincent Kling drafted the mid-century urban design, which was then implemented by city planner Edmund Bacon. Although it was not designed for skateboarding, the plaza was host to a wave of skateboarders who first discovered its granite expanses as early as the 1980s. It was raised to global renown in the late ’90s with a surge of media coverage. Today, LOVE Park is remembered as one of the foremost landmarks of street skateboarding.

I think I love you by Xiya Lan



This is my final film at Calarts. It's about different ways of love. We all love people and are loved by others in various personal ways. Maybe we like it or maybe we don't like it. But love is a whole thing, we are only pieces. It's about suffering, growth and change. After embracing all, you'll find it a beautiful peaceful thing.

Mark Lotterman - Happy (official video directed by Alice Saey) by Alice Saey



As a metaphor for the search of the meaning of the word “happy”, an immense group of geese dances desperately in synchronized choreography. Starting out as an undefined organism, and slowly zooming out as the song proceeds, the geese turn out to be part of different cults. Each cult portraying an emotion that cannot be withheld individually, but that’s all the more shown in the meticulous urge for group behavior. A video about the search for ones own identity through seemingly virtuous self-expression on the one side and the undeniable drowning into the masses on the other. Directed by Alice Saey Song by Mark Lotterman, albumholland.com Many thanks to: Ruben van Asselt, Hester Postma, Rebecca Joly, Tess Martin, Auke Triesschijn

See / Saw by Erik Winkowski



Chock full of outraged aliens, wild dogs, Instagram malaise, and the private pursuits of the artist, See / Saw explores the relationship between image, text, and sound. Animators Case Jernigan and Erik Winkowski trade short stories, stringing together a flurry of imagery and messages. The two artists craft animation from paper, stop-motion, and drawing. Music producer Josh Giunta (Love Science Music) paces through an array of musical colors with his rhythmic and lush sound design. See / Saw springs from the necessary dialogue between artists of different mediums.
