In 1996, an urban legend was born when the Can-View Drive-In was hit by a tornado during a screening of the movie Twister. The story spread throughout town and the unbelievable event was covered by national media. But what’s most amazing is … it might not have happened.
„TWISTED“ is this week’s Staff Pick Premiere! Read more about it here: http://ift.tt/2l770wl

A skateboard project by Will Dias written and directed by Filipe Zapelini
http://ift.tt/2iYctUN
The crowd is his element, as the air is that of birds and water of fishes. His passion and his profession are to become one flesh with the crowd. […] To be away from home and yet to feel oneself everywhere at home; to see the world, to be at the centre of the world, and yet to remain hidden from the world—impartial natures which the tongue can but clumsily define. The spectator is a prince who everywhere rejoices in his incognito.“ (Charles Baudelaire).
This condition allowed Will to walk the streets with no apparent purpose, but secretly aware of the history of the places where he passed and the possibility of aesthetic adventures that every detail of the city – his architecture – represents. In the era of Liquid Modernity, Will moves over his skating across the metropolis like a fish in a river, ignoring divisions and barriers, taking forms, occupying spaces, diluting certainties, beliefs and practices.
„If a tree falls in the forest and no one is near to hear, does it make any noise?“ This is a fundamental question for a philosophical and mental experiment that raises doubts about observation and knowledge of reality.
If Will was not realized this work would exist? It is in this context that Filipe Zapelini becomes essential – without his gaze „the essence of this reality would not have been perceived by reason.“
by Francis Bacon.

Superposition is an experimental short film. “Superposition“ is actually the “quantum theory that describes a challenging concept about the nature and behavior of matter and forces at the sub-atomic level. The principle of superposition claims that while we do not know what the state of any object is, it is actually in all possible states simultaneously, as long as we don’t look to check. It is the measurement itself that causes the object to be limited to a single possibility”. In the film, the character desires to break that possibility, she experienced it infinitely but the chances of her breaking single possibility are equal to herself. Every time she is born, she becomes conscious all over again and she doesn’t even know who she is and what she has to do. She is part of the environment but she just doesn’t want to be. She lives in pure white and just wants to live in a little bit of grey. However, if you live in a world where the answers are obvious, a little bit of grey can change the whole picture. One day when you look for the place you last put your key, the universe might collapse until you find it.

Beatrice racconta la storia della campionessa di scherma Bebe Vio. Beatrice Vio tira di scherma da quando aveva cinque anni; allora lo faceva stando in piedi, e adesso lo fa da seduta. All’età di dodici anni le sono stati amputati tutti gli arti a causa della meningite, ma ciò non l’ha fermata nel continuare a praticare lo sport che ama diventando campionessa del mondo a soli diciannove anni. Con il sostegno e la determinazione della sua famiglia, ha sfidato ogni limitazione e aspettativa. Beatrice è portavoce e testimonial di campagne di vaccinazione contro la meningite e fondatrice di Art4Sport, un’associazione che offre ai bambini che hanno subìto amputazioni le protesi necessarie per poter continuare a fare sport.

Located ten miles off the coast of mainland New England, the Oceanic Hotel is the grand, yet far-from-modern home to the thousands of guests who brave the choppy seas to visit during the warmer spring and summer months. Off-season, the hotel and the 43-acre Star Island on which it sits is home to one woman – its winter caretaker who braves the colder, darker months of inclement weather by embracing the solitude and finding inspiration, and life, in what would otherwise be considered the ‘bones’ of winter.
