Yogin – John Hanrahan
Yogin (2008, 57 MB, 3:15 min.)
“Yogin is a 3 minute short animation I created for my MFA thesis.
I am responsible for everything but the musical score.
It is the story of a brash young yogi challenging an old master to
a yoga battle. The egotistical challenger thinks he has what is
necessary to take on the master however he fails to realize there
is more to yoga then physical postures.”
Wonderfulness from John Hanrahan.

Five Lumières, two by DVblog’s own Brittany Shoot and three by
Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen with Brittany in the starring role.
They’re all great, but in particular I love the Meeting from Above piece
which is extraordinarily rich in color & incident in the kind of micro
observational way that the Lumières encapsulate.
In fact if Brakhage hadn’t got to it first, in a somewhat
grimmer context, The Act of Seeing with One’s Own Eyes would make a
tremendous motto for the Lumière project…

Africalls
Africalls Trailer (2008, 23.3MB, 1:57 min)
If this rather lovely trailer is anything to go by then Africalls
the movie proper, by director Pere Ortin Andres, will display a pretty high level of visual
sensitivity to its subject matter -art & artists from urban centers of Africa.
(And I can’t help feeling something visually so good is also going to be truthful &
meticulous in its account of the artists and their context. A hunch, but I bet I’m not wrong.)
Apparently it’s tied in with a book & exhibition too. Strikes me all three would be well worth
catching/booking.
Here’s the website.

camera and said, “Of course you can film me.” He didn’t know who I was,
but I told him afterwards and still gave me permission to show, so here is
live from Sutter Street, Robert Close!!!!”
