The Open Road London (1927)

Fascinating color film shot in London during the late 1920's. It's amazing to see history in these everyday shots in a time that I know nearly nothing about. I'm a fan of The Great Gatsby, so that's as much as I know about the 20's.

A gorgeous 3D film by Clement Crocq, Margaux Durand-Rival and Nicolas Novali for the “Supinfocom Arles” in 2008. It depicts the antics of a young Peruvian boy, his Llama and a Pilot who goes through a psychedelic experience filled with Peruvian iconography and mysticism. Also check out the making of the film on CGSociety as it details the fascinating steps into creating a 3D short film.

globeandmail.com: Indigenous women grab the spotlight

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20081010.NATIVE10/TPStory/Entertainment

With its eclectic programming, irreverent marketing campaigns and renowned parties, the imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival long ago dispelled any notions that it’s a niche powwow.

One of the world’s largest, most prestigious celebrations of film and media work by indigenous peoples, the annual event doubled its audience from 8,000 in 2006 to 16,000 last year. The ninth edition, which opens Wednesday, reflects that growth with an increase in festival staff, sponsors and industry guests - not to mention a strong offering of more than 100 international and Canadian features and shorts, with many world premieres including Exile (Oct. 17, 5 p.m., Al Green), a documentary about the forcible relocation of Inuit families in 1953, from renowned filmmaker Zacharias Kunuk (2001 Cannes-winner The Fast Runner).
