HOMELESS ANGELS (2017) by ANATOLI / DADAKINDER @ VVHY.TV by VVHY


Poetic documentary about the people of MacArthur Park (Los Angeles). Made by Anatoli Ulyanov.

*ENGLISH AND RUSSIAN SUBTITLES ARE AVAILABLE UNDER THE CC (CHOOSE CAPTIONS) BUTTON*

Los Angeles MacArthur Park has a notorious reputation. Located right on a cross of different gangs territories, it became associated with drugs, violence and its diverse homeless population: undocumented immigrants, abandoned veterans, transgenders, people who lost their job, people with mental disabilities who can’t afford healthcare. For a course of 3 month I visited MacArthur Park filming those who live there. Many of those people came to the US with a dream to find heaven. And LA indeed looks like one. My goal was to show this dramatic contrast between heaven and its tragedy. While filming it, I discovered not only a crowd of unforgettable personalities, – multi-dimensional souls shaped by the rollercoaster of their lives, – but the fact that despite all the struggles these people are still full of dreams. They filled with light. And that’s what impressed me the most as a manifestation of unbreakable human spirit. So I followed the light through these people. And the result is this poetic film.

Анатолий Ульянов: „Данный фильм является результатом череды воскресений, в которые я, вооружившись киноаппаратом, посещал МакАртур парк (LA) – место, где принято выяснять отношения между бандами, покупать паспорта, отсасывать члены и добывать дозу. Чем больше я в нём находился, тем более явным становился для меня контраст между американской мечтой и её реальностью, райскими пейзажами Южной Калифорнии и судьбами людей, которые в них оказались. Во всём этом меня увлекла не столько социальность такой острой для Лос Анджелеса темы, как бездомные (их тут 60 тысяч), сколько волшебный свет и существующие в нём люди с изгибами, надломами, завихрениями. Я невольно провалился в золотистый пузырь их мира, в это его странное лето, – тёплое и меланхоличное одновременно. В виде такого пузыря мне и хотелось его сохранить…“

July 14 Solar Flare and a Coronal Mass Ejection A medium-sized (M2) solar flare and a coronal mass ejection erupted from the same, large active region of the sun on July 14, 2017. The flare lasted almost two hours, quite a long duration. The coils arcing over this active region are particles spiraling along magnetic field lines. via NASA http://ift.tt/2uJ7lf4

BEHIND THE SUN by Matt Kleiner


Last year 3x World champ Mick Fanning took the year away from full time competition to explore the world and experience new places. I was lucky enough to join him on a trip the the Arctic Circle to direct an episode of Red Bull’s „Chasing the Shot“ where he surfed through the night under the Northern Lights. Although the days were extremely cold and short with only a few hrs of light, we managed to find great waves and stood in awe of the scenic beauty in every direction. This is my directors cut from that trip and features some of my favorite daytime moments while focusing on the scenic side of our trip. Special thanks to Red Bull and Lofoten Apartments for making it happen.
