A Sense of Place #2 – The Cairngorms by Max Smith


The second film in the Sense of Place series takes viewers onto the frozen plateau of the Cairngorms National Park, where boulder fields ring with the strange call of the Ptarmigan, Reindeer dig for food in the frozen ground and Snow Hares hide from ferocious winds. The Sense of Place series offers an intimate view of the most wild and remote wildlife habitats still left in the U.K, aiming to show the true value of these rare and fragile habitats.

INTO BLISS – Jordan Rodin by David & Douglas


Into Bliss is a short inception into the mind of Jordan Rodin and an ode to the notion of free friction surfing.
Far away from the competitive and commercial nature of surfing, and heavily inspired by Finless surfer Derek Hynd, Jordan embraces a free roaming approach, rekindling the emotions of why he fell in love with surfing in the first place. For the fun of it. No rules. No constraints. Into Bliss is an insight to the joys of free friction surfing and the sensations embraced by Jordan Rodin for his love of the ocean.

A Short film by Pierre David & Douglas Guillot, featuring Jordan Rodin.

Nutag – Homeland (2016) by Alisi Telengut


Website: http://ift.tt/2uCqSe3
Synopsis: A visual poem and surrealist requiem for the Kalmyk people that were mass-deported by USSR from 1943-1957 and half of them died before they were allowed to return home. The film manifests itself as an archetype with frame by frame hand painted imagery, bringing back an example of human history on the eternal and universal theme of diaspora and the loss of homeland.

TIDES by Arthur Chaumay


Loosing himself between memories and fantasies from his childhood, a sailor remembered his encounter, friendship and love with the sea.
_

„I first saw them from the top of the cliff
Some days I watched them sliding on the sand
Coming and leaving as the days went by
The wind carrying their scent on my face

We were good friends back then
I observed them in silence
Behind the barrier of sand

One of them pulled me into her run
She was fiery and fast
The other, peaceful
Unveiled her treasures in the sunrise

You never stopped calling my name
Carrying my body on your swell, pulling me away from the shores

I’m sailing today come hell or high water on this sea with two faces“
