Ce que je suis



Animation about a girl who is stalked by a cloud, ...a dark one. Constantly seeking, travelling, experiencing, but the cloud, never leaves her. She finds random beings, characters from a city, whom, from time to time, they bring sunshine for a moment, for meeting again and again, the dark cloud,...

Battles and storms overlaid with small spots of sunshine.

What is LOVE?



This is a French cartoon posted in YouTube by Pearl714,"A quoi ca sert l'amour". A man and a woman and their love madness: They love, they date, they hurt, they fight, they meet again, they fall in love... in its pure madness.

Will and Love



Themes are will and love can reach the unreachable!
Sub themes... death, regeneration, continuity, challenge,
and achievement under extreme difficult circumstances.
Enjoy :)

Square Dance

Another example of relationship of movement with the music. In this case, the video is made of still photographs, and the music is Debussy. The choreography is classical and very fun to watch. The key is the use of simple elements that create an intricate structure of simplicity and varied movement material in terms of directions, floor patterns, relationships between the subject in movement and its response to the possibilities of shape, dynamics, structure...

TRON has a remake

The film TRON (1982) is the original one. As I can see, Jeff Bridges repeats in the cast. Is going to be released in 3-D, which makes the chance to watch it in IMAX a very exciting and tempting experience...and is going to be called TRON Legacy (2010/1). The 3-dimension is quite a good idea, as a step ahead, or as an evolution, as I remember from the first film a certain two-dimension quality in the graphics...

Colours

This video about colour follows an impeccable relationship with the music in a very simple movement pattern in terms of directions, but it turns to be visually very entertaining, and the movements of the colours dissolving in the aquatic medium is kind of hypnotic. Watch it:

Formentera

Formentera, the beautiful island.
The soul of the Mediterranean...
Our small little treasure, The Balear Islands...

The good things never end
if there's something that helps you remember.

Lo bueno nunca acaba
si hay algo que te lo recuerda.

San Fermín: Blood and Culture

So the 6th "encierro" (which means running of bulls through the streets) of San Fermín, famous festivities in the city of Pamplona, north Spain, have left a trail of blood, ... as usual.
In this party, there are many "encierros" and people dress in white with a red scarf and run in front of the bulls. From time to time someone gets caught. This man in the photo, was caught and has serious injuries, the horn hit on his lungs, broke toracic tissue and broke a rib, plus he has a 15cm (5.9 inches) deep wound in his bum caused by the horn. He is in intensive care. Others have been hit as well, but not as bad as him.

Oh! Do you want to see how it happened? Then click here, and play the video.

What happened is that the group of bulls had a collision and ended a few on top of each other, then they kept running towards the bullring, but there was one of them that when it stood up it faced the wrong direction and was left alone as the other bulls kept running. His name is Ermitaño (Hermit), and he was looking confused, and as these bulls are trained to fight (that's why is called a "brave bull") that's what it does when he sees himself on his own surrounded by a crowd of people shouting, pulling his tail, and being hit with sticks. So this poor man was on the way... I think he's lucky he's alive, though. Actually is worth to say that these bulls are Miura bulls (also called the "Bulls of Death", because of their ferocity and because they are responsible of many bullfighters deaths)...

There's many people in Spain which doesn't agree with this culture of us of bullfighting, bull-bullying and blood culture. I am one of them. This issue is very commented, and many argue that the brave bull is trained for the fight, and if this tradition wouldn't exist, neither the brave bull would.

Bye PINA BAUSCH

5 min Documentary

Today is a sad day as I just heard the news that dancer and choreographer Pina Bausch (Solingen, 1940) died, 5 days after given a cancer's diagnostic with 68 years old.

The last time I saw her was at Saddler's Wells (review) showing Cafe Müller (1978) and Rite of Spring (1975). She has been one of the most influential choreographers of the last decades, creator of the dance theater (Tanztheater Wuppertal) style since the 70s.

Her performances and pieces are masterpieces.

The Bear

Click on the image to see the video.
Excerpt from the film The Bear, L'Ours (IMDB) by Jean-Jacques Annaud, 1988
(I was in primary school, maybe that's why I don't remember it)

Love it! And it's about two actors: a baby bear and a big cat. The big cat pursues the baby bear all over the mountains and down the river. Great performance I have to say, very believable. I'm impressed. And it's well recorded.

Trailer of L'Ours at IMDB But the video above is much better, this one is a bit crap, I have to say.

Scatman Good Laugh

I have to thanks these guys, they do loads of stupid comic films...
One day, we passed a whole morning watching their stuff, the FND films... But I guess there was a winner, maybe because we were related to the song in terms of age, and it was so funny to see him doing those tongue tricks and gestures... We watched it several times... and here it is the cause of our loose laugh:
