24h Berlin on The Auteurs
by sbrothier
24h Berlin is television's longest programme ever: No actors, no screenplay, no tricks – just real life. A 24-hour documentary, told in real-time, airing September 5th. On that day, in 2008, a story both intimate and exotic began in Berlin, a story told from the perspective of the people. Exactly a year before today's broadcast, 80 camera teams immersed themselves in the lives of Berliners, for 24 hours.

Les routes mythiques d'échappées belles
Japon la route des cerisiers en fleurs
Gratuit jusqu'au 16/10
Prendre la route au Japon, pour un étranger, est une chose assez rare. Ce fut impossible durant des siècles où le pays, s'étant refermé sur lui-même, se préservait de tout contact, de toute influence du reste du monde. La route mythique empruntée ici pour traverser le Japon du sud au nord, est une pure découverte. Le plus grand mythe de cette route est peut-être celui du mariage de la tradition et de la modernité. C'est un grand écart que permettent les mythes de la création polythéiste du Japon. Ici, on peut tout imaginer : la poésie du vol d'un pétale de cerisier, comme l'ultra-réalisme du moment où l'homo japonicus aura créé un robot à son image.

I Got Next: A Documentary on the Fighting Game Scene
by gregg
& 1 other
I Got Next is a free documentary on the fighting video game scene created by Ian Cofino (with much support from my friends, professors, and family). It originally started as my senior project at Purchase College, School of Art and Design, and has grown into something much bigger thanks to the dedicated and passionate players in the community. Originally envisioned as a short documentary, I Got Next has grown into a feature length production, which will see two releases, a short cut which premiered June 26th on ufragtv.com and a longer cut in the winter of '09.
