“Silent World” is an engrossing short film comprised of an apocalyptic series of photographs by Paris-based filmmakers/photographers Lucie & Simon, set to the music of Philip Glass and Daft Punk. When you think of ghost towns, your mind doesn’t typically gravitate to New York City, Paris or Beijing. Yet that’s what these teeming cities have become in the hands of Lucie & Simon.
Lucie & Simon have used a digital scalpel and a special filter to remove humans from the city landscapes. They have left just enough evidence of our species’ presence, a lone woman in a blood-red coat in Madison Square Garden or a hoisted flag in Tiananmen Square, to make the mysterious, mass disappearances as uncannily disturbing as possible.
Many city dwellers no doubt have dreamed of a magically emptied and peaceful metropolis. But “Silent World” suggests that life would not be so peaceful in a completely silent city. It’s unnatural and threatening; the uneasy feeling of being the last person on earth could build and build until one goes mad.
This piece includes a number of photographs and the oppressively eloquent short film.

An enormous clifftop, blue skies, multiple deaths and a yellow canary who matter-of-factly keeps meticulous notes of it all. “Yellow Belly End “is a dryly absurd, award-winning animated short film, created by Philip Bacon as a unique and compelling graduation film at England’s National Film and Television School. Bacon speaks in metaphors about the tragedies of life and death, as a yellow canary records animal suicides at the edge of a cliff, or possibly the world. The story unfolds in a way that encourages viewers to create their own interpretations of the larger meanings of the film.
This piece includes a number of colorful illustrations and the deliciously strange, acclaimed animated short film.

The horror-thriller Intruders starring Clive Owen and directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later) is playing in theaters now. It's really too bad when a movie shows potential only to completely abandon it in its second half. It almost makes it worse than if the movie flat out sucked to begin with. Oh wait, that does make it worse.http://www.examiner.com/movie-in-houston/intruders-2012-review-review-1

A film by Bryan Law and Dan Dicks "United We Fall" is a documentary about the North American Union that is being developed right now between Canada, the United States, and Mexico. For years this topic has been debated in the news and in political circles as being a possible future for North America. In recent years, the mood has shifted and a rift is developing between those who want a Deeply Integrated North American Community, and those who wish to retain their national sovereignty. This film takes a look at both sides by interviewing both insiders and activists who have been at the heart of this heated debate. The film also looks to the broader agenda of building a world government and its implications.
Featured Interviews:
Robert Pastor (Council on Foreign Relations)
Allan Gotlieb (Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg)
Herbert Grubel (Creator of the "Amero")
John Manley (President of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives)
Luke Rudkowski (We Are Change)
Dan Dicks (Press For Truth)
Vijay Sarma (Political Activist, Independent Journalist)
Dr. Andrew Moulden (Canadian Action Party)

“Creatures of the Deep” is part of the award-winning nature documentary series “Life,” which was created by BBC television and first broadcast as part of the BBC’s Darwin Season in 2009. The series received its North American premiere on Discovery Channel Canada in November 2009 and received its U.S. premier on Discovery Channel in March 2010. The series was nominated for six Primetime Emmy Awards in July 2010, and the episode “Challenges of Life” went on to win the Outstanding Cinematography for Nonfiction Programming Award.
The series takes a global view of the specialized strategies and extreme behaviors that living things have developed in order to survive. “Creatures of the Deep” focuses on marine invertebrates, which are some of the most bizarre and beautiful animals on the planet, thriving in the midst of the toughest parts of the oceans. Divers swim into a shoal of predatory Humboldt squid as they emerge from the ocean depths to hunt in packs. When cuttlefish gather to mate, their bodies flash in stroboscopic colors. Time-lapse photography reveals thousands of starfish gathering under the Arctic ice to devour a seal carcass. The greatest living structures on earth, coral reefs, are created by tiny animals in some of the world’s most inhospitable waters.
The beautiful HD “Life” nature series provides the perfect visual background for any living room activity. As many have discovered, they play even better when muted and paired with soundtracks of your own choice. Now, videographer Tobi Totschlag has undertaken the task of curating some of his favorite songs and pairing them with parts of BBC’s “Life,” including some amazing scenes from “Creatures of the Deep.”
This piece includes a number of color photographs and four music videos created from the documentary series.

“A House, A Home” is an amazing narrative music video from the debut album of The Alialujah Choir, directed by Daniel Fickle and produced by Mark Smith. The song tells the story of two imagined characters, an adolescent boy and girl, who were in treatment at a psychiatric hospital. They were both going through that intense experience together, but since they were never allowed to be alone with each other, and the boy could never express his feelings for the girl, his feelings for her became larger than life. One day, when the boy saw the girl leaving the office from her therapy session, he assumed that it was a rendezvous of a different kind and took his own life.
Smith wanted to create a narrative for the video to help the boy who had committed suicide reconcile his past. A few years after the boy’s death, the girl also died of natural causes and was buried next to him. It was Fickle’s idea to continue the story underground. By keeping the obvious graveyard imagery out of the story, it helped to create a lighter mood and leave room for playfulness, which was a counterbalance to the somber tone of the song and lyrics.
This piece includes color photographs and an HD version of the breathtaking music video.
