What happens when you send a request out to the world to chronicle, via video, a single day on Earth? You get 80,000 submissions and 4,500 hours of footage from 192 countries. Producer Ridley Scott and Oscar-winning director Kevin Macdonald took this raw material — all shot on July 24, 2010 — and created Life in a Day, a groundbreaking, feature-length documentary that portrays this kaleidoscope of images we call life. National Geographic is bringing it to theaters starting July 24, 2011. Prepare to be amazed.

did this winter take your breath away? it certainly stole mine.

This video got banned from the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC, in a current exhibit on gender identity. It’s about how a man dies of AIDs, specifically Wojnarowic’s lover back in 1986/87.

Here’s a scathing review on the Pittsburgh Gazette.

Find the full version below the cut. But personally, I like this version with Diamanda Galas’ track on it. If you’re unfamiliar with her, she’s the terror in operatic vocal horror. I use to listen to two 16mins+ tracks of hers that drove me absolutely insane.

This is a really beautiful little movie about Mitch Alfus aka the Leather King. He probably has the most amazing collection of leathers I have ever seen. Directed by Todd Selby. The beginning is so sweet… Enjoy!

Passion has never been sweeter, or in this case colorful.

Found this interesting video on TheDailyWhat

castles in the sky is the title of this movie. i’m not going to provide a description about it because the trailer speaks for itself. i just need to get my hands on this dvd. it makes me wanna travel, experience new cultures, talk to strangers, listen to the stories they bring with them, see the skies from different parts of the world, breath fresh air, be shocked, be inspired and just really, to see what the world has in store beyond my own shores. and i love the accompanying track of the movie’s trailer, really beautiful. anyone knows what the song is called and who the musician/band is?

Just stumbled upon this documentary of Jean-Michel Basquiat.
He looks so happy and nonchalant.

(Apologies for the video to be lacking in quality but it is the best vid I could find. Does not in any way belong to me.)

Paraboles 2.0 by Compagnie Off (France) & Victor Thng (Singapore) at the facade of the National Art Museum, Singapore.

Paraboles 2.0 was the major live art performance that headlined the Night Festival 2010 which took place over the weekend in sunny Singapore. It does not seem as amazing viewing this on the computer screen, but believe me, there were times I felt like I was elsewhere with their beautiful combination of dreamy + hypnotising visuals, colors and the live orchestra to set the mood right. If you look closely, as part of this grand installation is the hottest conductress i’ve ever seen (grungey/gothic chick decked out in leather pants) guiding the orchestra as well as a pretty ballet dancer to help elevate the mystery of the satellite dishes. My friends and I were coming up with varied explanations/stories as the performance progressed. There was so much going on, there were so many stories we could tell. Why don’t you watch it for yourself and see what comes up in your mind?

The official description of the performance:

“Six giant satellite dishes spring from the urban ground right in front the National Museum of Singapore. At the core of the satellite dishes, stroboscopic light flashes quietly, signalling activity. Under each satellite, we hear faint abstract sounds. It is the music of the stars, solar winds, and radio waves, all mixed together in a surreal, random composition.“

Oh how I’ve been waiting for this video.
