From the mountain to the river.
I’ve mentioned before that I’m not a huge fan of river rapids but the cinematography was too beautiful NOT to share.

Art :: Seeing Red
DEEP SEA GREEN
Every piece of art has a similar creative process: Conception, research, planning and creation. We use fashion in a very different way to how we use film or a painting, yet we it all follow this simple structure.
I love that The Art of Making, Red Dress celebrates another art form, not to mention the use of graphics to document and explain the creation process of the clothing. It’s different, sleek and beautiful, just like the designer’s final product.
Art :: Boundless

Dir. Gregory Colbert
I thought this was the perfect transition from “Award Season” to “Art”. Ashes and Snow truly is a magnificent piece of film art and should be recognized for it. I consider this an art film beyond the image as the metaphoric meaning is artful enough.
As described by the director:
“Gregory Colbert’s Ashes and Snow feature film captures extraordinary moments of contact between people and animals as seen through the lens of the artist’s camera on more than thirty expeditions to some of the earth’s most remote places. Written, directed, produced, and filmed by Gregory Colbert, it is a poetic field study that depicts the world not as it is, but as it might be—a world in which the natural and artificial boundaries separating humans from other species do not exist. The viewing experience is one of wonder and contemplation, serenity, and hope.”
Award Season :: Sugar Man
You’ve probably heard of this film a lot recently because it’s been nominated for an Oscar and won awards at Sundance, so the fact that I’m talking about it probably doesn’t seem all that surprising. But I really do love this film and I think that it deserves all the praise that it’s receiving.

I don’t think there was anything I didn’t like about this film (yes, I saw the film in its entirety at the Sheffield Doc Fest last June)- except for the grave condition that our climate is in. Even if you aren’t interested in environmental documentaries, the cinematography is gorgeous and the story of how the team put their well-being at stake to capture these images is inspiring. I won’t say any more in case I spoil it for those of you who haven’t seen it. But I leave this question to you: What lengths would you go to to tell the world of something that you are passionate about?
