Home Project

Inlakesh — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 22:32:39 +0000

Home is a 2009 documentary by Yann Arthus-Bertrand. The film is almost entirely composed of aerial shots of various places on Earth. It shows the diversity of life on Earth and how humanity is threatening the ecological balance of the planet.

The documentary chronicles the present day state of the Earth, its climate and how we as the dominant species have long-term repercussions on its future. A theme expressed throughout the documentary is that of linkage—how all organisms and the Earth are linked in a “delicate but crucial” natural balance with each other, and how no organism can be self-sufficient.

Home was filmed in various stages due to the expanse of the areas portrayed. Taking over eighteen months to complete, director Yann Arthus-Bertrand and a camera man, a camera engineer and a pilot flew in a small helicopter through various regions in over fifty countries. The filming was done using high-definition “Cineflex“ cameras which were suspended from a gyro-stabilized sphere from rails on the base of the helicopter. These cameras, originally manufactured for army firing equipment, reduce vibrations helping to capture smooth images, which appear as if they had been filmed from crane arms or dollies. After almost every flight, recordings were immediately checked to ensure they were able to be used.After filming was complete, Besson and his crew had over 488 hours of footage to edit from.

To promote the documentary online, a YouTube channel known as “HomeProject” was created. Uploaded to this were various short clips of filming which took place in different parts of the world including the Arctic Circle, Africa and the large metropolises featured.

The film, which was available for free release until June 14, has been broadcast in 14 languages. The Blu-ray edition was released by 20th Century Fox and features both the English and French versions. It is expected to sell in excess of 100,000 copies. When production costs are met, all proceeds sale takings will go to the Good Planet Company.

Yann Arthus-Bertrand emphasized on a TED talk that the movie has no copyright: “This film have no copyright. On the fifth of of June, the environmental day, everyone can download the movie on Internet. The film is given for free to the distributor for TV and theater to show it the five of June. There is no business on this movie. It is available for schools, cities, NGOs and you.” This means the film can be distributed, copied, uploaded, burned to DVD, etc., without restrictions if not altered or edited.

Iain Stewart – Climate Wars Series

Inlakesh — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 15:02:52 +0000

Dr Iain Stewart traces the history of climate change from its very beginning and examines just how the scientific community managed to get it so very wrong back in the Seventies.

…

Having explained the science behind global warming, and addressed the arguments of the climate change sceptics earlier in the series, in this third and final part Dr Iain Stewart looks at the biggest challenge now facing climate scientists. Just how can they predict exactly what changes global warming will bring?

It’s a journey that takes him from early attempts to model the climate system with dishpans, to supercomputers, and to the frontline of climate research today: Greenland. Most worryingly, he discovers that scientists are becoming increasingly concerned that their models are actually underestimating the speed of changes already under way.

Powaqqatsi

Inlakesh — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 17:40:59 +0000

Powaqqatsi: Life in Transformation, is the 1988 sequel to the experimental 1982 documentary film Koyaanisqatsi, by Godfrey Reggio.

Powaqqatsi is a Hopi word meaning “parasitic way of life” or “life in transition”. While Koyaanisqatsi focused on modern life in industrial countries, Powaqqatsi, which similarly has no dialogue, focuses more on the conflict in third world countries between traditional ways of life and the new ways of life introduced with industrialization.

Powaqqatsi concentrates on people of the developing world. Images from Brazil, Egypt, Hong Kong, India, Kenya, Nepal, and Peru make the film a good contrast to Koyaanisqatsi. Powaqqatsi concentrates more on people and less on their creations or surroundings than in Koyaanisqatsi.

The images are beautiful and show the people of the developing world in a great way. The different colours found in South America, Asia and Africa are more vivid when shown in films such as Powaqqatsi. The insight into the everyday lives of these people is excellent. Powaqqatsi nearly puts you close enough to smell the cooking food, fresh fish and nearby fires.

Powaqqatsi shows groups of people and their movements well, perhaps better than any of the other films such as Baraka or Koyaanisqatsi. People and their crafts are well show in Powaqqatsi. The daily lives of many religions are made clearer. Powaqqatsi overlaps in places with Koyaanisqatsi.

Koyaanisqatsi

Inlakesh — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 16:16:45 +0000

Koyaanisqatsi: Life out of Balance, presented by Francis Ford Coppola, is a 1982 film directed by Godfrey Reggio with music composed by Philip Glass and cinematography by Ron Fricke.

The film consists primarily of slow motion and time-lapse photography of cities and many natural landscapes across the United States.

Koyaanisqatsi attempts to reveal the beauty of the beast! We usually perceive our world, our way of living, as beautiful because there is nothing else to perceive. If one lives in this world, the globalized world of high technology, all one can see one layer of commodity piled upon another. In our world the “original” is the proliferation of the standardized. Copies are copies of copies. There seems to be no ability to see beyond, to see that we have encased ourselves in an artificial environment that has remarkably replaced the original, nature itself. We do not live nature any longer; we live above it, off of it as it were. Nature has become the resource to keep this artificial or new nature alive.

Baraka (Special Edition) – watch online

Inlakesh — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 00:40:57 +0000

::: Watch online :::

Baraka is an incredible nonverbal film containing images of 24 countries from 6 continents, created by Ron Fricke and Mark Magidson, with music from Michael Stearns and others. The film has no plot, contains no actors and has no script. Instead,high quality images show some of the best, and worse, parts of nature and human life. Timelapse is used heavily to show everyday life from a different perspective.

Baraka is an ancient Sufi word, which can be translated as “a blessing, or as the breath, or essence of life from which the evolutionary process unfolds.” For many people Baraka is the definitive film in this style. Breathtaking shots from around the world show the beauty and destruction of nature and humans. Coupled with an incredible soundtrack including on site recordings of The Monks Of The Dip Tse Chok Ling Monastery.

..The film which discovers LSD..

Inlakesh — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 00:40:05 +0000

However LSD is an illegal substance or drug now, before 1971 it was used in many researches, by hospitals and doctors, trying to discover the deepness of the human mind.

In this film the BBC dig down back time in the history of LSD, we can hear both “parts”, the people who reached a “higher” state and initiated the hippie revolution through the US and the UK, and those who think that this is a dangerous drug which should be illegal forever.

From this film many artists had got inspiration and have cut samples, maybe the most noticeable and known is the track LSD by Hallucinogen on the album “Twisted” [Simon Posford's first album]. [Ott's "In Dub" remix can be heard on on two Worlds.Of.Sound mixes -> Entrance Tones, Abstracted Soundfields 2 (the live version from Brixton Academy)],
and the song “Mystical Experiences” by The Infinity Project with Albert Hofmann’s voice [also mixed-in to "Abstracted Soundfields 2].

It is a very well edited documentary with good source of information in this topic.

Rumi – Only Breath

Inlakesh — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 21:35:42 +0000

This is the video of the poem by Rumi which’ sound finally had compiled into the second “Abstracted Soundfields” mix.

Jalal ad-Din Rumi – Only Breath

Not Christian, or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu
Buddhist, Sufi or Zen. Not any religion

or cultural system. I am not from the East
or the West, not out of the ocean or up

from the ground, not natural or ethereal, not
composed of elements at all. I do not exist,

am not an entity in this world or the next,
did not descend from Adam and Eve or any

origin story. My place is the placeless, a trace
of the traceless. Neither body or soul.

I belong to the beloved, have seen the two worlds
as one and that one call to and know,

first, last, outer, inner, only that
breath breathing human being.

I belong to the beloved, have seen the two worlds
as one and that one call to and know,

first, last, outer, inner, only that
breath breathing human being.
