Urban Isolation – Skateboarding In A Global Pandemic // Short Movie

Russel Houghten’s Kurzfilm wurde bereits 2014 gedreht und zeigt Skateboarder in einem utopischen, von Menschen verlassenen Los Angeles. Das Ganze hat in Zeiten von COVID-19 durch die eindrucksvollen Bilder eine unheimliche Faszination. With quarantines and „shelter-in-place“ becoming the new normal, leave it to skateboarders to find the silver lining in this situation. Russell Houghten’s winning film entry for our 2014 REDirect project imagined a bizarro Los Angeles where traffic and pedestrians were non-existent; his eerily prescient ‚Urban Isolation‘ is a must-watch while you are cooped up this week. Please stay safe and healthy, and we hope to see you on the streets again soon! Credits:  » Russel Houghten: Website » Russel Houghten: Vimeo » Russel Houghten: Instagram » via Urban Shit

The Last Video Store // Short Movie

Wunderbare Kurz-Doku über 20th Century Flicks in Bristol – der inzwischen ältesten Videothek der Welt. Ein kleines, familiäres Team, welches die inzwischen wohl größte Sammlung von DVDs und VHS Tapes verwaltet, und ihrem Kampf gegen Streaming-Dienste und Downloads. „It’s an ode to the video shop experience and a bygone way of watching movies. With studios like Disney launching their own streaming services and joining industry kingpins such as Netflix and Hulu, we have an almost endless flow of entertainment available at the click of a button. It’s amazing to me that a little independent video store can survive the Netflix cull and even outlive Blockbuster. Drop into the shop next time you’re in Bristol for a dose of movie nostalgia, have a chat about film and go home with a VHS rarity and a bag of popcorn.“ – Director, Arthur Cauty

Server Room // Short Movie by AB/CD/CD

Server Room ist ein dystopischer Kurzfilm von AB/CD/CD basierend auf Richard Brautigans Gedicht “All watched over by machines of loving grace”, 1967. Dystopia is no longer tomorrow. It is here, now and today. Entropy is real and will never stop. That’s how we understand R. Brautigan’s poem when we read it today. That’s what it means to us. He may have written it in a much more optimistic way in a much more optimistic time… Or was he being sarcastic? Today everything has changed, global warming scares us, the harmony between nature, animals and human beings is broken, we are scared of our place in the ecological environment, we are disorientated. We are hoping technology can solve our problems, but instead it takes us away from reality and no matter what, we can’t resist. In “Server Room”, we develop an enigmatic universe where an AI tries to recreate this balance between mammals and computers, but this attempt only produces distortion and monsters, each attempts to “watch over” goes wrong, we’re not sure if there is a happy end here. This is a first step before another short film which will follow next year, set in a totally different world, but […]

One for the night // Kate Tempest: Firesmoke (Lyric Video)

Firesmoke aus dem neuen Album The Book Of Traps and Lessons. Lyrics:  [Verse 1] My visionary is a vision I watch her dancing by the window And it rips my flesh to ribbons And the whole world is just ripples In the middle distance I listen to her hips I push my kisses to her lips We move like we were born to move The night is teeth and pistons And there is something in this tenderness that makes me want to live Firesmoke [Chorus 1] Her mouth sets free this captive Come close to me Free me Let me untangle the madness that knots you I drop to my knees and crawl across you I tell you I’ve got you It’s firesmoke [Verse 2] So go on, give me three days of your body and mine Time is a blind eye and I see your mind in my mind’s eye You make me immortal You take me to space You are a planet A place I’ve not known Your body is home to rare gods I kneel at their temple I’m blown to bits, gentle, ferocious We are open Explosives have nothing compared to these sparks So let’s fall apart […]
