New Yorkers vs. The Subway // Video by Jessica Leibowitz

Same shit – different day. In New York genauso wie in München, Hamburg, Köln und Berlin ;) There is no quintessential NYC experience quite like running down a subway station platform with your arms flapping all about like a distressed penguin, making eye contact with the conductor, and then hesitantly stretching out your hand to try to slip between the doors before they close. For every time they re-open, they’re just as likely to slam shut in your face, leaving you gazing at your own disconsolate reflection in the greasy window as the train rolls away forever.

Home // Kurzfilm von Thomas Gleeson

Im Gegensatz zu unseren Breitengraden ist es ja vor allem in den USA durchaus üblich, dass ein Haus auch mobil sein kann. Der minimalistische Kurzfilm „Home“ von Thomas Gleeson beleuchtet dabei was ein Haus wirklich zu einem Heim macht – egal an welchem Ort. We often think of houses as strong, solid permanent things. In fact they can be weak, fragile and mobile. ‚Home‘ explores the idea of what makes a house a home. Home – a short documentary film by Thomas Gleeson.
