In February 2016, I was part of the team of L'Âme Bleue for the second expedition of the next film directed by Laurent Marie. This expedition was made to Qikiqtarjuak (Baffins Island) in Nunavut, Canada. We absolutely wanted to meet Inuit community, to share with them, to learn from them. And to discover their culture and their knowledge about nature. From the iceberg dive, or the initiation of freediving to young Inuit, this adventure was a real lesson of life. An immersion in this world of ice where the temperature can vary between -25 ° C and -50 ° C. A difficult and challenging experience. The aim was to show everything in 4 minutes without showing anything. That's the deal of the next documentary. --- En Février 2016 je faisais parti de l'équipe de L’Âme Bleue (amebleue.fr) pour la deuxième session (hiver) du futur documentaire réalisé par Laurent Marie. Cette expédition s'est faite à Qikiqtarjuak sur la petite île Broughton (Baffins Island) dans le Nunavut au Canada. Le but était de rencontrer les Inuits, de partager avec eux, d'apprendre auprès d'eux et de s'immerger dans cette culture où la nature est omniprésente. De la plongée le long d'iceberg, ou l'initiation de l'apnée aux jeunes Inuits, cette aventure fut une véritable leçon de vie. Une immersion dans ce monde de glace où la température pouvait varier entre -25°C à -50°C. Une expérience difficile et éprouvante mais tellement riche sur le plan humain. Le but était de tout montrer en 4 minutes sans rien montrer du tout pour laisser place au somptueux documentaire à venir. --- Directed by Florent Dumas Based on the original project of Laurent Marie & L'Âme Bleue © Underwater images by Jacques Le Lay © Music : "A Thousand Years" by David A.

Shanghai Forever from JT Singh on Vimeo.

Urbanist and media artist JT Singh has captured the vibrance and massive scale of Shanghai’s skyline, streets, and infrastructure through a series of experimental projects viewed by millions (This is Shanghai, Walk in Shanghai, etc); hence, contributing greatly to the city's growing global status. With this new film, he turns to the Shanghai of its residents, the lives that revolve not around the city’s 4000 skyscrapers, but around the simpler ways of living, the local charm, and the familiar corner.

Amid the chaos of millions of people living and working with one another, the rich textures and smells, the voices and faces young and old, and the signs of tradition and change dwell behind each door and around each corner. With JT's riveting visual storytelling, viewers experience a series of impressions around historic shikkumen neighbourhoods, which foster a network of real-life experiences, memories, and encounters with locals, which are the tender heart keeping the city alive and charming to live in. Shanghai’s iconic skyline is symbolic of its presence as a premier global city, but below the towers, the intimate, and human story that unfolds is what will always be part of the city’s core DNA.

Watchtower of Turkey from Leonardo Dalessandri on Vimeo.

Over than 3500 km traveled in 20 days, capturing landscapes from the bluish tones of Pamukkale to the warm ones of Cappadocia, the all passing by a great variation of colors, lights and weathers through six other cities. I've crossed Cappadocia, Pamukkale, Ephesus, Istanbul, Konya; and tasted baklava, kunefe, doner, the turkish tea; and got the chance to meet the soul of Turkey, its people.. and got their smiles and their hospitality. This is Turkey lived by me from north to south, and I hope you enjoy it :)

Curves of Iran from Stanislas Giroux on Vimeo.

To the people asking me : "Why the fuck do you want to go to Iran ?", i'd like to show them this video. Once again, i took a 3 weeks trip in the Middle East, with my video bag, filled with a few extra shirts, with one thought in mind: make people want to travel. The narration explains the whole thing : "Curves are everywhere in Eastern culture: our writing, our architecture, our instruments, the way we dance ; even the tone of our language is curved. The West was built on angles. The East was built on curves."

Listen with headphones!

Bonus videos : Cool kids of Tehran: Tehran is full of artists, expressing their art even if the government don't want them to do so. This is a portrait of two of them: youtu.be/PpUW2Rezei8 Sacred Geometry: It's hard to describe how tiny you feel when you stand under a dome of an iranian mosque. Even atheists feel that those particular places are built with some kind of spiritual cement. Here's an experimental short about it: youtu.be/RTI0aI3Ne_Q

Long story short: Go to Iran.

"Most people wanted me to confirm my interest in them as a person and not simply as an art project. In this way, I saw it as a swapping of traditional gender roles – posing the question that perhaps men and women aren’t all that different. Change the power dynamic and you achieve the same result. I found the role reversal to be empowering. A mentor suggested that this process of objectifying men was similar to collecting butterflies – a comparison I greatly enjoy."

Il est grand temps que nous arrêtions d'inclure les femmes non nucléaires dans nos statistiques et que nous commencions à comprendre nous-mêmes que nous sommes aussi des femmes. Il n'y a rien d'anormal à vouloir vivre une vie sans enfants et cette décision ne fait pas de nous des humains hors-normes. Notre décision de ne pas avoir d'enfants ne nous confère pas moins de féminité que les femmes qui choisissent d'être mères. Oui, nous venons toutes au monde avec la capacité biologique de donner naissance, mais nous ne sommes pas toutes destinées à être mères. Devenir maman est un choix personnel que toutes les femmes devraient pouvoir prendre sans avoir à subir de pression de la part des autres et de la société.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that most pedophiles first notice an attraction toward children when they themselves are between 11 and 16, mirroring that of any other sexual awakening. It can be a confusing time for any of us, but imagine realizing that you’re attracted to little kids. How do these young men and women negotiate that with no viable role models or support network? There is no It Gets Better for pedophiles. Are they all fated to end up as child molesters? Or is it possible for them to live a life without hurting children at all?

J'admire éperdument Schopenhauer et sa théorie de l'amour me semble la seule acceptable. La nature qui veut des êtres, a mis l'appât du sentiment autour du piège de la reproduction. Pardon, ce que j'écris là est inconvenant, mais tant pis. Oh! vous êtes indignée, je sais.

Sea otters are polygynous; stronger males establish territories with high numbers of females and work to exclude other sexually mature males. These excluded males gather in so-called “male areas”, denied the opportunity for contact with females. It’s a situation that may have been exacerbated by a change in the demographics of Monterey Bay’s sea otters. For reasons that are still far from clear, overall mortality rate in the otter population is increasing, and disproportionately affecting females. As a consequence, an even greater number of mature males are denied mating opportunities, possibly causing sexual encounters to be more aggressive when they do occur. And those males that remain denied an opportunity to mate take out their frustrations on the hapless young harbor seals, an interspecies interaction that has been known to take place, albeit with less dramatic consequences, in other marine mammals.

Sea otters are awful.

As it turns out, sea otters are some of the biggest sickos of the animal kingdom. [...] When food is in short supply things can get ugly. Some males will hold otter pups hostage until the mother pays a ransom of food to the male. But they don't just kidnap babies. Sea otters also rape baby seals to death. Male otters will find a juvenile harbor seal and mount it, as if he were mating with a female otter. Unfortunately, part of the mating process involves holding the female’s head under water which ultimately kills the seal pups (and over 10% of female otters). For over an hour and a half, the male otter will hold the seal pup in this position, raping it until it is dead. Sometimes when the seal pup dies, it is just let go and the otter will begin to groom itself. Some otters, however, will hang on to the dead pup and continue to rape its dead and decaying corpse for up to a week later. Sea otters aren't even the scariest otters, believe it or not. In South America 6-foot long river otters still exist. And they hunt in packs.

Plus l'angoisse menace, plus on s'accroche à nos croyances et à nos mythes avec l'énergie du désespoir. Il y a certes des bénéfices secondaires à ce fantasme d'impuissance: il est déculpabilisant, et il permet de s'abandonner à la dépression larvée qui est le signe du moment. Il justifie les petites compromissions du quotidien et si tout le monde le relaie, il devient la garantie d'un sens: la renonciation à toutes les illusions du passé serait la preuve de notre maturité post-moderne. Elle est surtout la cause de notre immense bêtise.
