Vhils - debris, Macau 2017 by Jose Pando Lucas

In memory of my father, my grandparents and the inner mountains of Portugal - Trás-os-Montes (2017). I think the best way to tell a story is to speak of something intrinsic to you. The more you know about the subject you are dealing with, the deeper people will connect with the film, by seeing their own reflections in it. This short film blurs the line between documentary and fiction, since it is based on a true story, from my own grandparents, but it could be anybody’s story - in this case, a woman in Macau. The universality of storytelling is what pushes me to insert this tiny narratives on a much broader subject that me and Vhils have been tackling. And that is, generally speaking, the pace at which the world is moving today. It has sped up dramatically from 20 years back. And while that has brought us infinite positive things and progress, it also created new questions and paradigms. Is the world still a big place? We take 3 hours to drive 300kms, but we can send a photograph to the other side of the world in one second. Are distances getting smaller? Is the world shrinking? Are the gaps between us getting smaller? Or are we drifting apart? We’re constantly texting, talking, posting about everything and anything, but are we really communicating most of the times? And maybe more importantly - is anybody really listening?
 As a curiosity, the only super 8 shot that is used in this film portraying a woman and her baby (a big friend of mine) is actual footage from Macau in late 1970s. Domingos Silva, his father, was always documenting their life in Macau and he kindly sent me a pack of old videos and it was with absolute pleasure that I made a small homage to his family and any other family who has lived there in the past. Thank you so much to Sin Ting Yung for translating AND reading my story in cantonese for the third time. It's been 2 years since the first one and I am very grateful for having the opportunity to express myself in cantonese. Thanks to Tiago Silva, Li Chongyu and Locanda Films for being an indispensable help on local production while in Macau and helping me get whatever I needed when I needed. And finally, thank you to Vhils and all the Vhilstudio Team who joined us in Macau : Alex, André, Russo, Juca, Viktor, Zhao, Tiago and Li, for one more amazing job done in such a small timeframe. You guys are truly hard working beasts ;) Full credits : Artwork : Vhils Written & Directed by : José Pando Lucas Production : Solid Dogma, Vhilstudio Camera & Edit : José Pando Lucas Sound Mix : Chullage, José Pando Lucas Voice Over : Sin Ting Yung Translation : Sin Ting Yung, Miguel Moore Local Production : António Faria Aerial Footage : Crane Productions Super 8 : Domingos Silva Vhilstudio Manager, Asia : Tiago Silva Communication Manager, Asia : Li Chongyu Vhilstudio Manager, Portugal : Duarte Cavalinhos Artist Assistants : Alexander Silva, Alex Zhao, André Alves, Duarte Cavalinhos, Ionut Clipacs, Luís Alcatrão, Paulo Piedade, Viktor So Lost, Sin Ting Yung, Tiago Silva Editorial Content : Miguel Moore

ALIVE | Canada 4K by Flo Nick

I travelled 5500 km in six weeks exploring the vast landscapes of British Columbia and Alberta in Canada, always looking to place my camera gear in the most beautiful sceneries possible. With 54.000 single photos shot along the way I created ALIVE - a timelapse film which takes you on a vivid journey through wild forests, along the shores of crystal lakes and up the hills of massive mountains. By making this project, I want to raise awareness of our wonderful planet earth which we have the privilege to be part of. That’s why we have to take responsibility for it - for the place where we are alive. ____________________________________ Timelapse & Edit by Florian Nick Instagram: http://ift.tt/2D6RJ68 Contact: flo.nick[@]gmx.de *all footage available for licensing* Music & Sounddesign: Julian Lindenmann - http://ift.tt/2DtgBsv Big thanks to my sponsors for your generous support: eMotimo - https://www.emotimo.com Arc’teryx - http://ift.tt/2ysUEXA Talus Lodge - http://ift.tt/15749cB LRTimelapse - https://lrtimelapse.com All footage was shot with the Spectrum ST4 4-axis Motion Controller provided by eMotimo.

ཡ་ཆེན་སྒར་ Yarchen Gar by Filippo Chiesa

Yarchen Gar, officially known as the Yaqên Orgyän Temple, lies in an isolated valley 4000 m above sea level in Garzê Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. Due to the remoteness of the institute and the bad condition of roads leading there, Yarchen Gar sees very few tourists. Officials often prevent foreigners from entering the institute or staying there overnight. It is reported to have 10 000 monks and nuns (most of the inhabitants are nuns), making it possibly the largest monastery in the world. These images are rare and they will be part of a larger project. In loving memory of my dad, Paolo Chiesa died suddenly on October 2016, when I was in Yarchen Gar.

Hot Flash Heat Wave - Raindrop by BOREDOM

BEHIND THE SCENES: http://ift.tt/2Eu418H -- “Raindrop” is the hit song off Hot Flash Heat Wave’s sophomore album Soaked. BOREDOM, comprised of director-duo Luke Lasley & Patrick Sean Gibson, transformed the song into a psychedelic music video. Constructed of creative processes of yesteryear, Raindrop was shot on 16mm film and sprinkled with hand drawn and stop motion animation. The music video takes the viewer on a transcendental journey from forest, to city, to the deeper corners of the mind’s playground. Get ready to get cosmic, to get playful, to feel magic, and to view, first hand, an exclusive glimpse of San Francisco’s next generation of creative dreamers. -- Hot Flash Heat Wave Instagram: @hotflashheatwave Facebook: http://ift.tt/2rJVBrY Bandcamp: http://ift.tt/1JKTS3T BOREDOM Instagram: @madebyboredom Website: www.madebyboredom.com Vimeo: http://ift.tt/2rHHuna
