A Tale of Two Zip Codes by BLACKMATH


What determines how long we live? The surprising thing to us was that adjacent communities can have a 15 year-difference in life expectancy. Your preconditioned brains might attribute this to dramatic factors like drugs and violence (ours did). But the causes are actually more sinister: heart disease, obesity, and diabetes, all of which can be linked to Chronic Stress and stem directly from economic inequality. So we are all implicated… and we hope you learn as much from this 4-minute video as we did in the 15 years it took us to make it.

Thank you George Takei for lending us your voice!

EYES WIDE OPEN by Vitùc


EYES WIDE OPEN (2’30’‘)
These are just a few impressions of my trip in Bangladesh. (Dhaka-Gaibandha-Chittagong-Syhlet)

I went there to shoot a documentary for the NGO Friendship http://ift.tt/1QVHuQ0 who supports communities mainly in the shifting nothern river islands, known as „Chars“.
The documentary “Voice of Bangladesh“ will coming soon !

What can I say about my trip ?

In Bangladesh especially in the chars of Gaibandha, I rediscovered all the things I thought we had lost: the joy of life, the innocence, the simplicity, the human warmth, the authenticity, peace, space and freedom … or almost. It’s like I found back the human being.
How did I feel during my trip?
Sometimes I felt like Robinson Crusoe especially on the chars, sometimes like an adventurer, sometimes like a star making selfies with the local people, sometimes I felt like turning back in time, sometimes being on an other planet, sometimes being like in a dream, sometimes I was lost in translation and ….sometimes I missed my spaghettis.
To resume, Bangladesh is a wonderful country … I have never met such franc, kind and hospital people like the Bengalis.
And what great workers ! They made me often think of ants … I saw everywhere legs, hands and fingers of men, women, young and old … but also of kids … and that put some tears in my eyes.
Yes, I will never forget all these beautiful and intense moments and faces.
Now I am a rich man.

This is also my first experience with the Sony A7s2.
Entirely filmed handheld in 4K – exported in full hd.
I used mostly Sony lens 16-35mm f4 and sometimes sony 35 mm f2.8.

Nightlife by Wriggles & Robins


Nikon gave us a D810 and asked us to make a film experimenting with the camera’s low light capabilities.

Using 4 Nikon flashes, a 20 meter track and 84 foam board animal frames, we created ‘Nightlife‘ – A sequence of looped unedited photographs using a combination of different flashes and exposures. The camera EXIF data on each shot shows the settings used.
