Mircea Cantor: Deeparture (2005) (stark and amazing)

rickegee says...

From the summary of the exhibition:

"Cantor confined a deer and its ancient enemy, a wolf, in an elegant, white-walled space that might almost be another gallery in the museum, then filmed the result. It is mesmerizing, and surprisingly peaceable. No blood or guts; just a lot of fast breaths, attentive smelling and a kind of intense awareness of another creature that humans only rarely achieve. Cantor is a 30-year-old Romanian based in France since 1999."

Gymnastics Montage Of The Perfect 10

deputydog says...

'By the 1954 Olympic Games apparatus and events for both men and women had been standardized in modern format, and uniform grading structures (including a point system from 1 to 10) had been agreed upon. At this time, Soviet gymnasts astounded the world with highly disciplined and difficult performances, setting a precedent that continues to inspire. The new medium of television helped publicize and initiate a modern age of gymnastics. Both men's and women's gymnastics now attract considerable international interest, and excellent gymnasts can be found on every continent.

Nadia Comaneci received the first perfect score, at the 1976 Olympic Games held in Montreal, Canada. She was coached by the famous Romanian, Bela Karolyi. According to "Sports Illustrated", Comaneci scored four of her perfect tens on the uneven bars, two on the balance beam and one in the floor exercise. Unfortunately, even with Nadia's perfect scores, the Romanians lost the gold medal to the Soviets. Nadia will always be remembered as "a fourteen year old, ponytailed little girl" who showed the world that perfection could be achieved.

In 2006, a new points system was put into play. Instead of being marked 1 to 10, the gymnast's start value depends on the difficulty rating of the exercise routine. Also, the deductions became higher: before the new point system developed, the deduction for a fall was 0.5, and now it is 0.8. The motivation for a new point system was to decrease the chance of gymnasts getting a perfect score.'

Column excerpts:

"The film is hosted by director Phelim McAleer and filmed by his wife, Ann McElhinney. Both are self-proclaimed "British leftists" with backgrounds in journalism. When McAleer came across the story of Greenpeace's attempts to prevent a mine from being built in Romania while working as a business reporter, he discovered that the interests of the people in this small Romanian town and the interests of environmentalists were at odds."

-------------------

"The film is funded, in part, by mining interests, a point which Greenpeace and Lefties make often when attacking it. McAleer claims there was no editorial influence exerted. Of the four documentaries he and his wife have done, in fact, this is the only one that the funders haven't changed, he said. He's done work in the past for the BBC. The mining funders did not see the film until it was finished, he said."

--------------------

"The head of Greenpeace was invited to the screening as a guest, since his organization comes under fire in the film. Instead, he and Greenpeace protestors have been working to get National Geographic to cancel the screening, according to the film's directors."

What the Bleep Do We Know?! (pseudo-science documentary)

benjee says...

I guess Google were in the process of pulling the original video (the FLV file's been replaced with an error on it's GV page)...So I've replaced it with another (Romanian subtitled) version - so it should work fine now (until Google pulls this one too!)
