The Hell Of Not Being Able to Leave the Internet, As Captured By Werner Herzog

"As he set out to make his new documentary about the internet, Lo and Behold: Reveries of a Connected World (born out of, of all internet-y things, a sponsored web content deal), Werner Herzog considered traveling to China to document one of the country's most famous treatment centers for internet addicts—"a real toughest-of-tough boot camp." But he decided against it, in part because subtitles would have gotten in the way, and, as he told TechCrunch, he wanted to "stay more within our culture, and within our language." But it's a near universal culture and language, the internet, as evidenced by the residents at a treatment center in the west, who describe their former lives in thrall to the screen.

Herzog recounts stories like that of the South Korean couple who were so lost in a video game that their baby died. The internet security and assurance firm behind the film, NetScout, was hands off, Herzog says, with the exception of one part, in which someone recounts some horrifying comments by trolls. Herzog agreed it should go.

There's a lot more that didn't make the cut, including all the footage shot for the project's original manifestation, a web series of talking heads, but Herzog is, unlike most of us internet addicts, a seeming master of focus and slayer of distractions. That doesn't mean he won't get lost down a rabbit hole, or that he doesn't like a good tangent (and there are some good ones in the movie).

But part of the art of his filmmaking and his editor Joe Bini's editing, is knowing how and when to dig deep, and how and when to pull back. In the scene with the troll comments, Herzog politely asks a family—a modern image of suburbia married with Grant Wood gothic—how their daughter's car crash scene photos became a global meme, and made them victims in a campaign of lulz-fuelled harassment. “I have always believed that the internet is a manifestation of the Antichrist,” the girl’s mother says, without hesitation.

We're looking at something weird, and complicated, and sometimes dark, and it's hard to look away."

Drugi trejler za dokumentarac "Limunovo drvo" Branka Radakovića

"Priča o kultnoj muzičkoj grupi "Limunovo drvo" koju su 1977. godine osnovali u Beogradu Milan Mladenović, Milan Stefanović i Dragomir Mihailović, a koja se raspala 1980. godine. Dvojica danas živih osnivača benda i njihovi prijatelji sa kojima su sarađivali, prisećaju se tog kreativnog razdoblja. Iako nisu objavili nijedan album, kroz svedočenja mnogobrojnih poznatih novinara, ličnosti iz sveta rok muzike i umetnosti, razotkriva se zbog čega je "Limunovo drvo" jedan od najvažnijih srpskih muzičkih sastava. Sve to, potkrepljeno je i unikatnim snimcima sa njihova dva koncerta (jedan je iz 1978. godine, a drugi iz 1979. godine) na kojima se jasno čuje neponovljiva energija i originalni autorski pečat."

Malo (više) kasnim jbga ali to me naravno neće sprečiti u mojim nastojanjima da se isprati ovakva jedna zaista prejaka tema kao što je dokumentarac o Limunovom Drvetu. Inače film je već hit po festivalima diljem ex-YU, tako da nam ostaje jedino da se nadamo DVD izdanju ili nekoj BGD projekciji:

"Poznati autor nezavisnih filmova, multimedijalni umetnik i roker Branko Radaković koji od decembra 2013. snima dugometražni dokumentarac o kultnoj grupi "Limunovo drvo", ovih dana, objavio je da će taj film definitivno biti izmontiran do kraja juna.

"Cela stvar se malo odužila zbog toga što sam želeo delo za večnost, a ne samo projekat oko koga će trenutno da se digne prašina, što se u savremenom svetu često praktikuje. Mnogi mladi bi na prevaru i na tren da se proslave, a ne razmišljaju šta zaista ostavljaju iza sebe." - rekao je Radaković.

Film koji je dobio veliki publicitet u ex-YU regionu već na samom početku snimanja i na koji već dugo sa nestrpljenjem isčekuje publka, uskoro će izaći.

"Od početka rada na filmu, pa do sada, dobio sam dosta ponuda za razna učešća. Videćemo gde će se sve naći film Limunovo drvo. Za sada još uvek ništa ne bih da otkrivam jer sam obazriv i prema tome kako da plasiram film jer u svim porama zaudara neka neozbiljnost." - dodao je za kraj Branko Radaković.

Ovih dana objavljen je i drugi spektakularni trejler u kome se, sa izjavama o ovom bendu, pojavljuje, u svega 2 minuta, dvadeset i dve poznate ličnosti iz sveta novinarstva, rok muzike i umetnosti."

SOCIOPATA: JA, TAJ I TAJ (2013) - teaser prvi

SLUŽBA predstavlja prvi teaser za dokumentarni film SOCIOPATA: JA, TAJ I TAJ (2013) sa podnaslovom DA JE MENI LALE MOJE LEĆI, UMRIJETI. 

Režija Petar Petrović aka John Smith

PROGLAS SLUŽBE prvi

E, sad ćete konačno imati prilike da vidite kako se radi jedan pravi srpski feature lenght film pa makar to bio i omraženi, skrajnuti dokumentarac. Dakle, SLUŽBA nije ovde došla nikoga da smori, o ne, to nikako, i film će biti ako ništa jako, jako zanimljiv za gledanje, što ga automatski izdvaja od 97% patetične srpske kinematografije još od 1998. godine. Odma' na početku da kažem, mi se nikako nećemo NI POD RAZNO uvlačiti u bulje kolegama samo da bi nas zvali po festivalima, da bi se jedni drugima divili i delili nagrade po ključu, jer ljudi koji onakva neopisiva sranja snimljena u poslednjih 15 godina nazivaju filmom, realno i nisu kolege nego gomila jajara bez ikakvog smisla za umetnost, ljudi bez ideja, bez mašte, deca producenata, deca buržuja, koja snimaju filmove samo zato jer im se može, jer ih ova mrtva država Srbja finansira, naravno isključivo preko veza i vezica. Šta li ćete sada da snimate kad se vlast menja, to se ja pitam, i iskreno se brinem za vas, jer treba keša i keša da bi se isplatila ta kežual zajebancija, a keša naravno da više nema? Šta ćemo sad jebote?!

Iskreno, sramota je bre uopšte biti deo jedne takve kinematografije (KLIP je izuzetak koji samo potvrđuje), uostalom pogledajte tu bednu listu filmova snimljenih od '98, pa tu nema ni trunke bilo čega, naravno ima par solidnih pokušaja od pokušaja, ali brate, ako praviš film pa još parama od države, pa jebemtimater snimi ga kako valja a ne do pola, upola, i ne preko kurca sa glumcima nedobog nikom. Dakle, ako snimaš film, idi brate do kraja, prodaj auto, imanje, traktor, pa i sve krave ako treba, jer umetnost je uzvišen poziv, i hteli vi to da priznate li ne, i te kako zahtev fanatizam. Ne možeš bre da radiš film u vidu zanata, alooo rođače, jer ako ti je do zanata, pa zašto onda nisi završio MOC tebra ili DRVNU, a ne se gurao tamo preko veze na FDU, jebo te vala i taj FDU. Pa džaba ti i 3 FDU-a ako si ti jaje koje nema jaja, a da ni ne pominjemo priču o smislu za smisao. A to što si ti načitan, nagledan i što ti ona ljotićevska pizda Pajkić predavala tamo i srala, to mož' realno samo sebi na kurac da natakneš ili u pičku da uguraš.

Vi ste bre najveća sramota Srbije, dakle ratni zločinci, navijači-huligani, ekstremna desnica (pa i levica), političari svi redom, su bre male, rumene i zdrave bebe za vas, evo bar se jednom u životu pogledajte u ogledalo...ako smete. Pa jebote, zar vi nemate prave prijatelje koji vas neće slagati u lice i samo vas tapšati po ramenu iako se očigledno, na keca izvali da su vam filmovi sranje, zar je moguće da baš cela srpska kinematografija živi pod staklenim zvonom?! Jel' izlazite vi nekad na ulicu, barem ispred zgrade, jer čujete malo reakcije ljudi koji stvarno vole film? Očiledno JOK, jer kad bi izašli valjda bi vam neko i rek'o - alo jarane šta ćeš ti u toj priči, imaš pare - putuj igumane, zajebi snimanje filmova ako ne znaš!

Al' džaba, uporna je to stoka, pa kad navali ko vočić Sivonja, a još ih ovi izgasiraju, ove šlihtare, tzv. kritičari za pare, da im je film dobar, pa to ko pit bull ne pušta više dok mu štanglom ne razdvojiš vilicu, i do kraja života snima isključivo sranje do sranja. Udari jednom glavom o astal, ti mu kažeš nemoj, ne vredi, on opet - tras, ti mu opet kažeš nemoj jbte, koji ti je kurac?! - on opet, i tako u nedogled, jer tu mozga jednostavno nema, živi se na relaciji Bambilend-Diznilend i to ti je brate moj to, a kreće isključivo u tim sektaškim krugovima gde samo što ne vire jedni drugima iz bulja. Fala bogu, iako ga nema, da mi nemamo takve "prjatelje" ko VI, i da će nama ljudi reći u startu, da je FILM DNO ako je brate DNO, a mi bre težimo samom VRHU VRHOVA ZELENGORE, i ako film bude "solidan", ako bude ma samo jedna greška, VERUJTE MI, NIKO GA NIKADA NEĆE NI POGLEDATI, i biće javno spaljen, jer to je bre blam, mislim, praviš kao film pa napraviš nešto što liči na film, i aj' sad - koja je tu poenta, jel' može neko da mi objasni to ovde? E zato je SLUŽBA SLUŽBA, a vaša družba samo skupina pušika i sisaljki. Dakle, verujte mi, NEĆEMO STATI!

Vaša SLUŽBA

Over the last 5 years of filming my third film, Carl Panzram: The Spirit of Hatred and Vengeance, I began filming footage for this documentary, Serial Killer Culture.

The Presumption of Justice (2012)

"The Presumption of Justice is an independent Canadian documentary produced by the "Serbian Michael Moore", Boris Malagurski, about one man's right to defend himself after being caught in a political scandal.

As someone who has not even been at the spot of the incident that happened in 2009 in Belgrade when a Frenchman Brice Taton lost his life, Stefan Velickovic has been pronounced guilty of a crime. What are the interests and intentions for making this young man a scapegoat? Despite all the evidences, Stefan has been deprived of the presumption of innocence.

Is Serbia ready to understand football hooliganism and what is the path the government has taken to deal with it? What is the purpose of this verdict? - Those are just some of the questions the film poses."

"Houston, we have a problem!" (Yugoslavian space program) - trailer

Docudrama revealing one of the biggest secrets of space race during cold war

- Yugoslavian space programme!

"Yugoslavs made rapid development based on unknown diaries of Yugoslav space pioneer Herman Potocnik - Noordung after 2nd world war. Technical solutions described in Potocnik's unpublished papers were the basis for establishing secret Yugoslav space programme in 1948, after Josip Broz Tito's conflict with Stalin. In late 1960, CIA discovered that Yugoslavia already had an operational space-flight technology. In March 1961 Yugoslavia secretly sold complete space programme to USA. In May 1961, Kennedy announced USA choose to go to the Moon. In this documentary we will reveal how Tito built the biggest secret underground space centre in Europe in army base Zeljava with code name "Object 505"."

"The main topic is discovering hidden truth behind the space race. USA was losing the race against USSR and there is little known that also socialist Yugoslavia was on the good way to overtake Americans. Thanks to unpublished diaries of Yugoslav space pioneer Herman Potočnik Noordung, Yugoslavia gained technical know-how to be a third player in a space race. After hidden diplomatic trading Yugoslavia secretly sold it's space program to USA. Wehrner von Braun, mastermind of American space program, used the new technology and Americans finally went to the moon in 1969. On the other hand Yugoslavia got generous financial help from USA and quickly became the most developed socialst country and Yugoslav president Tito gained unprecedented popularity world-wide. Yugoslav space program was developed at secret underground location / army base in Željava in Bosnia with a code name 505. It was the biggest underground complex in Europe. Today it's partly destroyed and mined and it's still hiding one ot the biggest secrets of Cold War."

INTERVIEW WITH DIRECTOR, ZIGA VIRC !

Chip on My Shoulder (2009) - coming soon !

Directors:

Ian McFarland,

Anthony Moreschi

"Boston, Massachusetts 1985: The first great wave of hardcore-punk bands like SSD, DYS, and Jerry's Kids were breaking up or moving on, leaving a generation of kids and adults inspired and in search of someone, something, or some band to light the powder keg once more. Enter Slapshot; a viciously unapologetic new take on hardcore-punk that stemmed from the seemingly polar opposite personalities of singer Jack "Choke" Kelley, guitarist Steve Risteen, and drummer Mark McKay and put the Boston scene back on the map. "Chip on My Shoulder" follows the members of Slapshot through their turbulent twenty-year history, documenting every up and down along the way. It is an unflinching look into the life of a band that was seemingly destined to implode from its very inception. "Chip on My Shoulder" is a story of friendship and betrayal, loss and redemption, self-destruction and sacrifice. Born in the streets and underground music halls of Boston..."

EDGE - perspectives on drug free culture (2009) - TRAILER

U pripremi izgleda jedan skroz ozbiljan dokumentarac o Straight Edge subkulturi, nadamo se da ce ga pustiti u 2009. godini kao sto je najavljeno.



http://www.edgethemovie.com/

28 years after the band Minor Threat released the song ‘Straight Edge’, the counterculture known as Straight Edge has become a worldwide phenomenon that unites individuals rejecting all forms of intoxication. The most widely associated perception of Straight Edge involves abstinence from alcohol, tobacco, other drugs and promiscuous sex. Since it’s origin in the early 1980’s these beliefs have spread all over the world, connected through the Punk and Hardcore music scenes. Through interviews with musicians that directly shaped the idea of Straight Edge from its inception until today, EDGE - perspectives on drug free culture reveals that the abstinence from drugs was established as a youth counter culture rejecting a society dominated by substance abuse and hegemony. Ian MacKaye (Minor Threat, Fugazi), Ray Cappo (Youth of Today, Shelter) and Karl Buechner (Earth Crisis, Freya) give witness to their perception of the history of Straight Edge, why it was so important to them and what it changed in their personal and professional careers. But they also address problems like violence, sexism and intolerance that emerged within Straight Edge, and how it changed the ’scene’ as well as its public image. Furthermore, EDGE explores the lives of 10 individuals, that identify as Straight Edge. Their reasons range from negative experiences with drugs to maintaining a healthy lifestyle to political reasons. Through a very close and personal look into their daily lives, we see how their decision to live ‘poison free’ has changed the world for them. But how do people discover Straight Edge? How do women experience Straight Edge subculture? What social backgrounds are shared by people new to the scene and what makes someone turn Straight Edge? How does mainstream culture perceive this movement? EDGE is looking for answers to these questions on a roadtrip behind and beyond the scenes of the Straight Edge subculture.

PANZRAM by John Borowsky - teaser trailer

John Borowski, moj omiljeni reditelj sto se tice serial killer dokumentaraca, priprema nam ultimativni dok. o jednom od najozloglashenijih serijskih ubica koji su ikada hodali Zemljom. Naime radi se o Carl Panzramu, americkom serijskom ubici sa pocetka 20. veka. Nema tog zlocina koji Panzram nije pocinio, od sitnih kradja preko razbojnistava pa sve do brutalnih sadistickih ubistava, gde je obicno i silovao svoje zrtve, uglavnom muskarce, da bi ih na kraju povrh svega i opljackao. Nista "ljudsko" nije mu bilo strano, pa je tako ubijao i silovao i decake i to shirom sveta, i naravno vise od pola zivota je provezo po zatvorima iz kojih je vise puta bezao. Da ne bi ja sad prepricavao bas sve tu je link ka prichi o njemu na wikipediji. Inace Panzram je bio realni nihilista sto je dokazao i u praksi i evo te najokultnije njegove izjave :

"In my lifetime I have murdered 21 human beings, I have committed thousands of burglaries, robberies, larcenies, arsons and last but not least I have committed sodomy on more than 1,000 male human beings. For all these things I am not in the least bit sorry." — Carl Panzram

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Panzram

Inace, o njegovom liku i delu je uradjen i igrani film Killer: A Journal of Murder (1996), gde Panzrama igra James Woods ali jos nisam uspeo da ga iskopam, tako da ukoliko neko naleti na RS linkove ili torent fajl nek slobodno baci dojavu.

Borowsky je pre jedno nedelju dana najavio da ce dokumentarac biti pusten u promet tek krajem 2009. ili pocetkom 2010. tako da jbga. No dobro, za sad gledamo tizer koji je vise nego odlican i obavezano ga overite jer Borowsky zaista zna znanje kada su ovakve mracne strane ljudske prirode u pitanju.
