 Ang Ritwal (The Ritual)
 Alex Tiernan
 In the slums of Manila, devotion to basketball verges on the sacred. Makeshift hoops stand at every street corner and images of NBA icons compete for space on walls with images of Catholic saints; a hallmark of the country’s Spanish colonial legacy. This experimental documentary shadows two ballers over the course of a single day, immersing us in the local streetball scene. But it is against the backdrop of 'Undas' (the Filipino day of the dead), that the film's themes come into focus. ANG RITWAL is about the power of communal rituals — sacred or profane — and the role they play in creating a sense of identity for those on society’s fringes.

 Nelle baraccopoli di Manila, la devozione al basket sfiora il sacro. Canestri improvvisati si trovano a ogni angolo di strada e le immagini delle icone della NBA competono per lo spazio sui muri con quelle dei santi cattolici; un segno distintivo dell'eredità coloniale spagnola del paese. Questo documentario sperimentale segue due giocatori nel corso di un solo giorno, immergendoci nella scena locale del basket di strada. Ma è sullo sfondo di "Undas" (il giorno dei morti filippino) che i temi del film vengono messi a fuoco. ANG RITWAL parla del potere dei rituali comunitari, sacri o profani, e del ruolo che svolgono nel creare un senso di identità per coloro che sono ai margini della società.

Through a young girl's journey, the film portrays the societal constraints that limit women's ambitions and achievements, unlike men who are often told from an early age that the sky is the limit. “Beyond Ceilings” calls for confronting and challenging the glass ceiling, reminding us of the vast possibilities that await when these barriers are overcome.

Attraverso il viaggio di una giovane ragazza, il film ritrae i vincoli sociali che limitano le ambizioni e i successi delle donne, a differenza degli uomini a cui spesso viene detto fin da piccoli che il cielo è il limite. "Beyond Ceilings" invita ad affrontare e sfidare il soffitto di cristallo, ricordandoci le vaste possibilità che ci attendono quando queste barriere vengono superate.

Struggling to find their seat at the table, mountain bikers have had to form unlikely partnerships in their fight to ride. Little did they know they were actually helping transform the identity of their communities. Specialized and Soil Searching present Biketown, a film by Freehub magazine.

Mountain bikers have a long-standing tradition of working with private property owners, land managers and governments, from the local to federal level. Often, these relationships are driven by a dedicated and passionate group of mountain bikers, trailbuilders and advocates, despite a sometimes turbulent and confrontational past. Biketown takes a deep dive into recreational trail development in Chisholm, Minnesota, Bellingham, Washington, Snowshoe, West Virginia and Pacific City, Oregon to explore themes at the heart of the current mountain bike movement—whether that be cooperation between the timber industry and a mountain bike community, federal forest managers and trailbuilders or advocacy organizations and tourism boards.

This project would not be possible without partnerships and a huge collective effort. Thank you to the community leaders, families, trailbuilders, dreamers, athletes, designers, brands, mentors, advocates, stewards, volunteers and everyday riders who helped make Biketown possible. We are grateful for strong brand partner support and amazing product donations—the proceeds of which will directly impact the future of mountain biking.

this project represents the melt down of old, primitive, egoistic behavior. portraying the instinct of admiration, insecurity and territoriality as a destructive standard. the falling of ego in a world that needs to be collective and no longer has time to sustain what came before.

two separate solid objects melt and become one single blended liquid.

questo progetto rappresenta la fusione di un comportamento vecchio, primitivo ed egoistico. raffigurando l'istinto di ammirazione, insicurezza e territorialità come uno standard distruttivo. la caduta dell'ego in un mondo che ha bisogno di essere collettivo e non ha più tempo per sostenere ciò che è venuto prima. due oggetti solidi separati si fondono e diventano un singolo liquido miscelato.

"CHILLY & MILLY"

Chilly & Milly is an animated documentary exploring my father’s chronic health problems as a diabetic with kidney failure, and my mother’s role as his stalwart caretaker. Shot in miniature, it combines 3D modeled/composited characters with cinema verité scenes from a documentary I shot over 13 years ago.

It is a story of love and resiliency in the face of hardship, turmoil, and the encroaching death of a loved one.

The short film will premiere at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival. For information on how to screen it at your festival, please email the director at william.d.caballero@gmail.com, or visit the project website at wilcab.com/chilly-and-milly

Girato in miniatura, combina personaggi modellati/composti in 3D con scene di cinema verité da un documentario che ho girato più di 13 anni fa. È una storia di amore e resilienza di fronte alle difficoltà, al tumulto e alla morte imminente di una persona cara. Il cortometraggio verrà presentato in anteprima al Sundance Film Festival del 2022.

"When I got the brief, something jumped out to me. I’d never seen a boxing film before that heroes the physical space of a ring. The four angles of the canvas. The corners.

I built an idea out that told the stories of two amazing figures, Terence Crawford and Israel Madrimov, through the inverted and sometimes positive protrusions of a corner. We would be transported to Omaha Nebraska or a small town in Uzbekistan all based on the interaction with their corners of the ring. Sometimes we would match cut, other times we would build sets into the corners, creating a sort of collage of their life within the square.”

 "Quando ho ricevuto il brief, qualcosa mi è saltato all'occhio. Non avevo mai visto prima un film di boxe che mettesse in risalto lo spazio fisico di un ring. I quattro angoli della tela. Gli angoli. Ho elaborato un'idea che raccontava le storie di due personaggi straordinari, Terence Crawford e Israel Madrimov, attraverso le sporgenze invertite e talvolta positive di un angolo. Venivamo trasportati a Omaha, nel Nebraska, o in una piccola città dell'Uzbekistan, tutto basato sull'interazione con i loro angoli del ring. A volte tagliavamo in modo coordinato, altre volte costruivamo set negli angoli, creando una sorta di collage della loro vita all'interno del quadrato."

~an Exploration of the Visual harmonized status~

Project inspired by Nature and organically animated shapes

When light passes from one medium to another with different properties, its direction and speed of propagation changes and the phenomenon of refraction occurs.
Variations in color, shape and vibrancy are manifestations that allow us to feel that changes occur when light passes from one layer to another.
This relationship is one of the oldest elements of the human mind,which made it possible to highlight the relative uniformity of natural conditions in different places.

I have created this sequence for the observation and experimentation of the phenomenon of collision of surface and light when it changed angle and speed

A) group of people sharing a common profession or interests.

B) friendship and mutual support within a group.

"The ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity"

For too long, surfing has been the preserve of the privileged. Those fortunate enough to reside on coastal regions. Those fortunate enough to afford boards and wetsuits. To be fortunate enough to have the surrounding infrastructure to train, to have others go before them. To be lucky enough to live in Southern California. In South West France. In Sydney. To be able to surf all day and not worry about providing for a family. To be home schooled and only focus on ‘pro’ surfing. Barriers to entry that those fortunate to do it wouldn’t even recognise existed; the statement “all you need is a board and a wetsuit” reflecting so acutely the nonchalance of the privileged few. 

And yet, we hope those days are behind us. With the amazing work of groups such as Postive Vibe Warriors, Black Girls Surf and Juju surf club to name but a handful. Barriers are being broken down and we hope, with fingers crossed and a collective goodwill in the right direction that not only are the barriers being lowered, but tossed aside as surfing provides a means of empowerment to those less fortunate. 

This movement is being lead by examples and role models the world over. Perfectly crystallised with the Billabong stablemates of Italo Ferreira, Cherif Fall and Joshe Faulkner. A far cry from your cookie cutter pro surfers, three real people with three real stories, role models and examples in their own right from their own communities right up to the world stage. 

We’d been to Senegal before. The friendliest place we’d ever visited. The nation state of fun waves and all time vibes. So when Billabong called the WT hotline, and rumour reached our ears of a return trip, it wasn’t a though process worth considering—before even asking why we were in. When the why came, on a surprise trip with the World Champ, gold medallist and all round now über superstar Italo Ferreira to visit our old friend Cherif along with Joshe Faulkner—we were in, hook line and sinker. Two weeks later, we land in Dakar, fresh PCR tests in hand. We’re met with by old friends at the airport, a sense of familiarity but ever the presence of the unknown. 

For the full story, cop a copy of our latest Print Volume. Wasted Talent Vol X. Available now. 

“We never thought we could make it surfing. We started with broken boards. Now, thanks to god there are a lot of young surfers coming up. The fact that Italo is here really shines a spotlight on the Senegalese surf scene. Me Joshe and Italo are all similar. We all grew up from disadvantaged backgrounds. We never had it easy, but nothing in our hometowns is easy for anyone. It makes us work harder. We want it more. There are so many people that say that we couldn’t surf. That we don’t have good waves. That surfing isn’t for Africans. Well despite our humble beginnings we’re here—ready to take it to the world” — Cherif Fall.

 

A) gruppo di persone che condividono una professione o interessi comuni. B) amicizia e supporto reciproco all'interno di un gruppo. "Gli ideali di libertà, uguaglianza e fraternità" Per troppo tempo, il surf è stato appannaggio dei privilegiati. Quelli abbastanza fortunati da risiedere nelle regioni costiere. Quelli abbastanza fortunati da permettersi tavole e mute. Di avere l'infrastruttura circostante per allenarsi, di avere altri che li hanno preceduti. Di essere abbastanza fortunati da vivere nella California meridionale. Nel sud-ovest della Francia. A Sydney. Di poter fare surf tutto il giorno e non preoccuparsi di provvedere a una famiglia. Di essere istruiti a casa e di concentrarsi solo sul surf "professionista". Barriere all'ingresso che i fortunati da farlo non riconoscerebbero nemmeno; l'affermazione "tutto ciò di cui hai bisogno è una tavola e una muta" riflette così acutamente la noncuranza dei pochi privilegiati. Eppure, speriamo che quei giorni siano alle nostre spalle. Con lo straordinario lavoro di gruppi come Postive Vibe Warriors, Black Girls Surf e Juju surf club, per citarne solo alcuni. Le barriere vengono abbattute e speriamo, con le dita incrociate e una buona volontà collettiva nella giusta direzione, che non solo le barriere vengano abbassate, ma vengano anche messe da parte, poiché il surf fornisce un mezzo di emancipazione a coloro che sono meno fortunati. Questo movimento è guidato da esempi e modelli di ruolo in tutto il mondo. Perfettamente cristallizzato con i compagni di scuderia del Billabong di Italo Ferreira, Cherif Fall e Joshe Faulkner. Ben lontani dai soliti surfisti professionisti, tre persone vere con tre storie vere, modelli di ruolo ed esempi a pieno titolo dalle loro comunità fino alla scena mondiale. Eravamo già stati in Senegal. Il posto più amichevole che avessimo mai visitato. Lo stato nazionale delle onde divertenti e delle vibrazioni di sempre. Quindi, quando Billabong ha chiamato la hotline WT e ci è giunta voce di un viaggio di ritorno, non è stato un processo di riflessione degno di considerazione, prima ancora di chiedere perché eravamo dentro. Quando è arrivato il perché, in un viaggio a sorpresa con il campione del mondo, medaglia d'oro e ora superstar assoluta Italo Ferreira per far visita al nostro vecchio amico Cherif insieme a Joshe Faulkner, eravamo dentro, amo lenza e piombo. Due settimane dopo, atterriamo a Dakar, con nuovi test PCR in mano. Siamo accolti da vecchi amici all'aeroporto, un senso di familiarità ma sempre la presenza dell'ignoto. Per la storia completa, prendi una copia del nostro ultimo volume cartaceo. Wasted Talent Vol X. Disponibile ora. "Non abbiamo mai pensato di potercela fare surf. Abbiamo iniziato con tavole rotte. Ora, grazie a Dio ci sono molti giovani surfisti che stanno emergendo. Il fatto che Italo sia qui mette davvero in luce la scena del surf senegalese. Io, Joshe e Italo siamo tutti simili. Siamo tutti cresciuti in contesti svantaggiati. Non abbiamo mai avuto vita facile, ma niente nelle nostre città natale è facile per nessuno. Ci fa lavorare di più. Lo vogliamo di più. Ci sono così tante persone che dicono che non potremmo fare surf. Che non abbiamo buone onde. Che il surf non è per gli africani. Bene, nonostante i nostri umili inizi, siamo qui, pronti a portarlo nel mondo" — Cherif Fall.

I’ve Been Thinking

I've Been Thinking

Aran Quinn
22 views
 
 Ti è mai capitato di perderti a metà conversazione e poi di sentirti chiedere su quale pianeta sei andato? "I've Been Thinking" è un biglietto d'amore per quei flussi di coscienza casuali quotidiani sui "cosa succederebbe se". Rappresenta quello stato mentale sognante in cui le idee si fondono da un ricordo o dall'immaginazione e si formano in un mondo etereo. Niall Rogers ha creato questa incredibile colonna sonora originale, elevando questa idea eterea. Sono al settimo cielo e sono tornato!
 
 

Ever get caught drifting off mid-conversation and then asked what planet you went to? 'I've Been Thinking' is a love note to those daily random streams of consciousness about what-ifs. It depicts that dreamy internal state of mind where ideas merge from one memory or imagination and form into an ethereal world.

Niall Rogers created this incredible original music score, elevating this ethereal idea. I'm over the moon and back again!

Indossa le cuffie e rilassati con un po' di stelle scintillanti del cielo notturno del Mojave e timelapse di scie stellari. Scattata in varie località attorno al Joshua Tree National Park, questa compilation di cieli notturni usa una luna piena per "dipingere" il primo piano, dando alle immagini una sensazione surreale e psichedelica di "luce del giorno". Le esposizioni sono state di 20 secondi. Scattata con Canon 6D. Obiettivi Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L USM Wide Angle Lens e Rokinon 12mm f2.8.

Che dipinga nel suo studio di Brooklyn o si aggiri tra le opere d'arte medievali del Met Cloisters, l'artista Naudline Pierre riformula le rappresentazioni tradizionali della religione e della spiritualità, trovando la libertà in un mondo da lei stessa creato, in cui ciò che è nell'aria e ciò che è terrestre coesistono e cooperano.

Whether painting in her Brooklyn studio or roaming amidst the medieval artworks at The Met Cloisters, artist Naudline Pierre reframes traditional representations of religion and spirituality, finding freedom in a world of her own making — where the airborne and earthbound coexist and cooperate.

Naudline Pierre was born in 1989 in Leominster, MA, and currently lives and works in New York City, NY. Learn more about the artist at: art21.org/artist/naudline-pierre.

"Über Wasser" / “On Solid Ground”, scritto e diretto da Jela Hasler 12 Min. Una città, d'estate. La frescura mattutina nel fiume non dura a lungo, il caldo ricopre la città come una lente d'ingrandimento sotto la quale i fastidi quotidiani apparentemente banali assumono peso. Eli cerca di sfuggire alla ristrettezza e all'agitazione della città, ma continua a confrontarsi con l'aggressività. E la rabbia inizia a crescere dentro di lei.

"Über Wasser" / “On Solid Ground”, written & directed by Jela Hasler
12 Min.

A city, in summer. The morning coolness in the river does not last long, the heat covers the city like a magnifying glass under which supposedly trivial everyday nuisances take on weight. Eli tries to escape the narrowness and agitation of the city – yet keeps being confronted with aggression. And the rage starts to build up within her.

Simon Ellis
 
Qualcosa sta arrivando. Un presagio pre-pandemia di indifferenza verso i tempi difficili, spopolando digitalmente e riorchestrando i filmati documentari fotogramma per fotogramma prima che i lockdown diventassero realtà. Le scene movimentate girate all'inizio del 2017 sono state meticolosamente rotoscopate in un periodo di tre anni, spesso comportando la ricreazione/rianimazione di figure arto per arto, articolazione per articolazione, utilizzando elementi disponibili da altri fotogrammi. Non ci sono effetti visivi oltre alla riorganizzazione di risorse realmente catturate.
 
 

Something is coming. A pre-pandemic harbinger of indifference to troubled times, digitally depopulating and re-orchestrating documentary footage frame-by-frame before lockdowns became reality.

Busy scenes shot in early 2017 were meticulously rotoscoped over a three-year period, often involving recreation/reanimation of figures on a limb-by-limb, joint-by-joint basis, using available elements from other frames. There are no visual effects besides the rearrangement of genuinely-captured assets.

SILK SHEETS

Whisked away into a surreal journey blending guilty pleasures with vintage nostalgia,
set against the backdrop of a tipsy, interstellar sunset,
hundreds of hand picked frames unite to this animated odyssey.
In the whimsy of a hangover's afterglow the images of
Eben Tenner "Silk Sheets" unfold into an exotic, holiday-like dreamscape
accompanied by vibrant inner fireworks.

Michael Fragstein pays homage to the painstaking effort and craftsmanship
of stop motion while embracing the limitless possibilities of AI.
Over 3000 images were meticulously crafted, combining stop motion
and collage techniques with a diverse array of prompts.
This project also serves as an exploration into the artist's connection to their work,
probing the depth of personal effort required to truly bond with one's creation.

LENZUOLA DI SETA Trasportate in un viaggio surreale che fonde piaceri colpevoli con nostalgia vintage, sullo sfondo di un tramonto interstellare e ubriaco, centinaia di fotogrammi selezionati a mano si uniscono in questa odissea animata. Nel capriccio del bagliore di una sbornia, le immagini di Eben Tenner "Silk Sheets" si dispiegano in un paesaggio esotico e onirico accompagnato da vivaci fuochi d'artificio interiori. Michael Fragstein rende omaggio allo sforzo scrupoloso e all'abilità artigianale dello stop motion, abbracciando al contempo le infinite possibilità dell'intelligenza artificiale. Sono state realizzate meticolosamente oltre 3000 immagini, combinando tecniche di stop motion e collage con una vasta gamma di spunti. Questo progetto serve anche come esplorazione del legame dell'artista con il suo lavoro, sondando la profondità dello sforzo personale necessario per legarsi veramente alla propria creazione.

Synopsis:
To be able to live in Bogotá, you need a skin than can adapt, that can turn reptilian when it doesn't stop raining for weeks and that can go soft when the woman in the corner shop gives you a free morning coffee. Thick Skin is a dance film that takes the viewer through the Colombian capital high above the Andes with stylized movement that speaks of life in the bustling city.

Sinossi: Per poter vivere a Bogotà, hai bisogno di una pelle che sappia adattarsi, che sappia trasformarsi in quella di un rettile quando non smette di piovere per settimane e che sappia ammorbidirsi quando la donna del negozio all'angolo ti offre un caffè mattutino gratis. Thick Skin è un film di danza che porta lo spettatore attraverso la capitale colombiana, in alto sopra le Ande, con movimenti stilizzati che raccontano la vita nella città frenetica.
