There is no longer any doubt in my mind that DSLRs are potent tools for real filmmaking. shot on the Canon 7D by Eliot Rausch Luke Korver, and Matt Taylor, this short-form doc captures a beloved dog’s life as it comes to a close.
Beautiful, touching, and near-impossible to make or see without modern technology.
I posted the trailer to New Muslim Cool a few months ago, and it’s now been broadcast on PBS, is available on DVD, and is free to watch online at PBS.org, although I have yet to make that work. Enjoy this clip from the film, and be sure to catch it in any way possible. I know I will.
Slingshot Hip Hop - a documentary about Palestinian hiphop
Here’s another trailer for a Hip Hop documentary, this time coming out of Palestine instead of Pittsburgh. Slingshot HipHop is about the new Hip Hop movement coming out of Palestine over the last few years. Slightly dated (people can’t leave Gaza anymore, many of the buildings shown no longer exist, and the wall now closes the people in completely), but still looks amazing nonetheless. Will do my best to have a screening n Vancouver by the end of ‘09.
