THE SHAMAN - a mind-bending short by Marco Kalantari

The highly acclaimed, blockbuster-style short film THE SHAMAN premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York in 2015. After that it ran successfully at numerous film festivals around the globe, including Los Angeles, London, San Diego and the DragonCon in Atlanta. The trailer turned into a viral sensation with over 4 million views.

The dark year 2204, in a world that has seen 73 years of continuous war. Recently mankind re-discovered the arts of Shamanism. The Shaman’s school of thought believes that every person or object has a soul. During battle Shamans step over into the Netherworld to find and convert the souls of their enemies’ giant battle machines. This tactic enables a single man to overcome an invincibly seeming steel monster.

This is the story of Joshua, a Shaman, who is sent on a mission to convert the soul of a giant battle colossus. He does not yet know that the soul is prepared for his coming and that the deadly psychological soul-to-soul confrontation in the Netherworld will be on eye level.

Subtitles are available in English, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish and German.

The Harmony of Fall

Autumn is that romantic, melancholy and harmonious season that all photographers rush to capture from its arrival. And no wonder, the light, the colours and the energy displayed by the autumn, are ideal fuel for encouraging the creativity of any visual artist.
I traveled to Croatia and Slovenia in order to capture this amazing spectacle of nature, and now I feel like I made the right choice.

Next Year by Crashing White Horses

Time for some festive fun and so when ‘larger than life’ Andy the lead singer of the band Crashing White Horses asked me to help him make a video for his new Christmas song I was more than happy to do so. We had a great evening in a little pub tucked away in the rural countryside and for a short time I turned director and cameraman. The people were great and by the end of the evening we were all singing and dancing.

Please share my Christmas No.1 which will be available through various streams such as itunes very soon.

Darkstar - The Days Burn Blue

This film is the third in a series of commissions by Warp Records for Channel 4’s Random Acts.

"I was interested in what a coming-of-age might feel like to a kid in a town outside of London during the 'Age of Austerity'.

A surreal transition from the expectation of childhood to the exhilaration of emerging adulthood to the quiet realisation that fulfilling your dreams in modern Britain is perhaps an impossibility.

The talent, promise and character I encountered amongst the youth in Huddersfield was overwhelming. Really bright kids with big dreams and little infrastructure to realise them. It makes you the wonder what genius is slipping through the net."

Dedicated to:
Elizabeth Haigh, Al Jazwinski, Dominic Mills and anyone who works tirelessly to improve the lives of young people.

Liars - Mess on a Mission

This video was such an act of faith. We had everything against us to make it happen, so it is a bit of a miracle it even exists.
Since I first started doing music videos, my main goal was to get to direct a Liars video. I've been a huge fan for years. So when it finally did happen, it was one of the happiest moments in my career, and in my life. I'll never thank enough the band, the commissioner John Moule, Lana and Jett from Ways and Means, everyone at Shipping and Handling, who spent days and weeks working on the VFX, and specially Claire Stubbs, my producer at Partizan. Even after I had left the company she hooked me up with John because she knew I was such a fan.
This video is one of the jobs I am most fond of, even if I am conscious the end result suffers from obvious budget constraints.

HVOB - ANXIETY TO PLEASE

Music meets video meets installation: The track 'The Anxiety to Please' is – like the electronic duo’s album 'Trialog' – the result of a trialogue with artist Clemens Wolf and the visual artists lichterloh. At the heart of the project are materials and the processes of their transformation, addressed on all three artistic levels and wrapped up in a single work. Each track is therefore a self-contained piece comprising installation, music and video.

Process The Anxiety to Please: Imploding

'Trialog' is now available on vinyl, CD and digitally.

Written & Produced by HVOB
Video by Clemens Wolf & lichterloh.tv

APOLLO

Between the years of 1969 and 1972 the human race accomplished arguably the single greatest technological achievement of all time, when humans first set foot on another celestial body.

This short film is a tribute to the NASA Apollo Program space missions which successfully landed 12 men on the Moon. It was created entirely from still images from the Project Apollo Archive, which has bought together scans of all the original unprocessed images taken by the crews of the Apollo 10 to 17 space missions.

The elements that make up each image were separated with Adobe Photoshop and then animated within After Effects to create movement and parallax between the layers in the image. Effects and textures have been added to create a sense of action and transition between the scenes.

I hope this film inspires other people to learn more about the history of space exploration.

Crowds

Inspired from Bill Buford's book 'Among the Thugs: The Experience, and the Seduction, of Crowd Violence' a particular paragraph stood out to me regarding the herd mentality of crowds. Here Buford introduces a series of metaphors from historians, sociologists, criminologists, social psychologists & philosophers that define what a crowd is to them. Adapted for the chaos of city life and narrated by Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, this is my ode to nature.

Tasermiut - Greenland's Wilderness

Tasermiut Fjord is a remote wilderness on the southern tip of Greenland. Accessible only via helicopter and boat it sees relatively few hikers. With some of the biggest rock walls in the world it is famous amongst the climbing community, but little known to the public.

In August 2015 I took a friend on an 18-day unsupported backpacking trip to photograph this remarkable area. We packrafted on the fjord and hiked high mountain passes. Carrying 2 full camera kits, an ultralight time-lapse slider I designed, camping kit and all my food my backpack weighed 35kg. Throughout the trip we struggled across the hardest unpathed terrain I have ever experienced whilst being plagued by mosquitoes. But in the evenings we made fires, caught fish swam in mountain streams and immersed ourselves in nature. We left feeling exhausted but privileged to have experienced true wilderness. This short film captures a small portion of this incredible landscape.

Technical Info:
Shot on a Canon 6D and 5DSR with 16-35mm, 50mm and 70-200mm lenses.
Slider shots with a custom designed ultralight carbon-fibre timelapse rig activated by a Dynamic Perception MX2.
Post production in Lightroom, LRTimelapse and After Effects.

OVERLOAD

overload
[과-부하 過負荷]
1. 일을 너무 많이 맡은 상태. 
2. 기기나 장치가 다룰 수 있는 정상치를 넘은 부하.

오버로드는 '정신적으로 과부하가 걸린 상태에서 기억이란 얼마나 정확한 것인가?',
'과거의 일들은 항상 미화되어 기억된다'라는 두개의 문장과
물체가 찐득한 액체로 변하는 하나의 이미지로 인해 시작된 이야기이다

불의의 사고로 죽은 연인을 그리워하는 남자
우주에서 오랜시간을 보내고 드디어 지구로 돌아가는 날,
이유를 설명할 수 없는 비현실적인 사건을 계기로 과거를 돌아보게 된다

-

overload
1. in charge of overwork.
2. devices getting load by exceeding the available range.

Overload is a story started from two sentences.
'In a mentally overloaded state how accurate is human memory', 'Past memories are always glorified'.
And also the image of an object changing into a sticky liquid started this story.

The man misses his lover who died in an unexpected accident.
Finally the day going back to Earth after long days in the Space, unexplainable and impractical incident makes him look back in time.

The Dark Skies of the Desert Southwest (Death Valley National Park)

TimelapseWorkshops.com presents

A dark-sky journey through Death Valley National Park. Death Valley is well known for having one of the hottest recorded temperatures on Earth, but few realize that the park is also known as having some of the darkest skies in the country.

In early October a group of 15 photographers flew into the southwest to learn how to capture and produce timelapses, and more specifically, dark-sky astro timelapses. Most of the students at the workshop had never captured a timelapse, but after the first few hours in class they were out capturing the the night sky - in motion.

This film was produced using timelapses from seven of the photographers during the two workshops. Students register for these workshops not only to learn how to produce breathtaking timelapses, but also to experience the night sky first hand. Today, most of the country lives in areas where light pollution has made it impossible to view the night sky. All we see when we look up are a few of the brightest stars and planets. Our workshops are held in locations where the darkest skies in the country exist. We choose locations based on the sky darkness while also choosing dry climates that help guarantee a successful shoot each night

Our Spring 2016 workshops in Moab, UT are now filling up. You can find more information at:

Ep 1: CONFLICT / Pete Muller "Let Me Represent You" (Pilot Episode)

What happens off the front lines, when the combat concludes or has not yet begun, but guns and poverty abound? Pete Muller is an award-winning photojournalist whose work and life serve as enduring provocations on the tensions that lie beneath cycles of conflict. He was named by TIME Magazine as the 2010 Wire Photographer of the Year. At 29 years old he was the youngest person ever to receive the honor. Through his work he aims to illustrate broader issues through individual stories. He strives to create images that ask viewers to give emotional and intellectual consideration to the lives and experiences of those depicted.

The Harmony of Fall

Autumn is that romantic, melancholy and harmonious season that all photographers rush to capture from its arrival. And no wonder, the light, the colours and the energy displayed by the autumn, are ideal fuel for encouraging the creativity of any visual artist.
I traveled to Croatia and Slovenia in order to capture this amazing spectacle of nature, and now I feel like I made the right choice.

People of Nowhere

I have heard and read different opinions about the wave of Syrian refugees who try to make their way in to EU. Then I went to Lesvos. 7 Days on the Greek Island gave me a healthier human perspective on the situation. Seeing in my own eyes the people behind the headlines and feeling their deep struggle, broke my heart.
Is this the “threat” people talk about? All I could see was courages people in a crisis. I also got to meet brave volunteers from all over the world who reach out to help all people regardless of their religion, race or background. That inspired me.
My hope is that this video will shake some of the bad ideas we sometimes feed ourselves with.

Sougwen Chung, Drawing Operations (Collaboration), 2015

Drawing Operations
Collaboration
2015

Drawing Operations is an ongoing collaboration between an artist and a robotic arm. The project investigates ideas of automation, autonomy, and collaboration as an exercise in behavioral empathy.

Sougwen Chung and her Drawing Operations Unit: Generation 1, (D.O.U.G._1) explore mimicry and procedural mark-making as a simple drawing performance between a human and mechanical agent. Alongside developer Yotam Mann, the behavior of the robotic arm was designed to mimic the drawn gesture in real time through the use of a ceiling-mounted camera and computer vision. As D.O.U.G., the robotic arm, interprets the mark of the drawing collaborator, the human agent then responds in kind, resulting in a synchronous, interpretive performance.

Drawing Operations is the first stage of an ongoing study examining human and robotic interaction as an artistic collaboration. Further stages include will examine memory, autonomy, and agency.

Escape North

At the earliest sign of winter’s end, brothers Janne and Samu Amunét ventured towards the Arctic Circle. Constant travelers, they were eager to leave their home in Helsinki and explore the recently thawed Lofoten archipelago on the northern coast of Norway for their first road trip of the year. The twenty-four hour drive would take them through parts of Finland, Sweden and Norway still solidly frozen. However upon arriving on the coast the weather tempered. Usually a destination for summer trips, the idyllic village of Å was empty and quiet in a way only remote places can be.

(#29) MEREKINGI - Māori Teen

Do you live in the moment?

Take 60-seconds to meet Merekingi, a Māori teenager living in New Zealand. She reflects on the little things we stress about everyday and whether or not they matter in our futures. In the background she performs the Māori performance art "Poi"* on the front steps of the Marae (meeting house) of her ancestors.

*In Māori culture, poi performance is usually practiced by women. Some legends indicate that it was first used by men to develop wrist flexibility for the use of hand weapons.

Un village entre la tramontane et le marin. (teaser)

Teaser to a short documentary I made about my village in the south of France. An essay on its memory and an exploration of the peri-urban development of ancestral farmlands (a story that plays across many parts of the country). 'Un village entre la tramontane et le marin' means the village is located in a dynamic climatic zone, at the foothills of the Pyrenees and close to the Mediterranean, a region swept by many winds, the main ones being the 'tramontane', which comes in cold gusts from the mountains, the other the 'marin', a humid and muggy wind from the sea. A village living between a modernity that has permanently changed its way of life and ancient traditions of solidarity and mutual help. Our narrator is one of the last original farmers living there: "yes we had problems before, but now we create them."
