Artist Marco Brambilla together with CRUSH have build a video installation for an elevator at Ney York The Standard hotel. The artworks consists of over 400 video loops from classical movies.

Make sure, you download the HighDef version from Vimeo, it’s worth the wait. Also check out Brambilla’s other works, very impressing. Read an interview with one of Crush’s producers and the artist here. Copyright issues are moentioned nowhere, I would be curious if the requested the rights or just went for it?!

I myself am totally fascinated by stories which run backwards (see my shortfilm Palindrome iy you havent yet), so the new Ikea kitchen website entertains me a lot!

I don’t know if we can but at least now there’s hope.

Listen to the clip without the picture, thereby it even get’s more scary.

“It’s such a sadness that you think you’ve seen a film on your fucking telephone… get real!”

Well, there’s no real argument in Lynch’s statement here, but I myself am wondering if films are working on a small screen. Has anyone already seen a short film or somethink else which was convenient to watch on a phone? Well, I’ll get back to you on that topic when I’ll get my IPhone :-)

How does that sound to you? Lame doesn’t it? When THE FIRST FULL FEATURE ON YOUTUBE, Four Eyed Monsters, came out, I was wondering how much of it’s success you could count on it’s the first mover effect. Well, The Cult of Sincerity is the first full feature DEBUT on YouTube but it seems like it can’t get as much attention as FEM did, until now it only attracted 20k viewers.

The Trailer:

When I watched the movie I was thinking about reception situations again. How much time do you give a movie to catch your attention when you see it in a cinema? 30 Minutes? More? How much time do you give a movie on YouTube to catch your attention? 5 minutes? 2? When FEM came out, I gave it a try, because I really wanted to know what’s the first feature on YouTube is like. It turned out to be a great movie! This time with COS I had a much lower attention span so I caught myself clicking away the movie after some minutes. But movies need their time to envolve, they need their time to construct a rahter complex story…that makes them interesting. Just because you see it on the Internet, why does it have to blow up fireworks in the first minutes to hook you up? Therefore I gave COS a second try, and guess what…it turns out to be a great movie!
