Short Film of the Day: Psych yourself up for Chronicle (in theaters now!) by watching Chronicle screenwriter Max Landis’s Drunk History-esque, semi-sweded, sNSFW, not-all-that-accurate retelling of The Death and Return of Superman starring Elden Henson (Fulton!), Elijah Wood, and Mandy Moore.

Death in Motion by Mateusz Sypien

Death comes in many forms: sometimes it presents itself as your worst fear given legs to crawl on, a recognizable figure from your past you wish you’d forgotton, or in an alien, nightmarish visage. Mateusz explores a few of these concepts in his “Death in Motion” series of dark, yet neon-illuminated animations.

In Charlie Russel’s documentary Terry Pratchett: Choosing to die the beloved author of the Discworld novels which has been diagnosed with a rare form of early onset Alzheimer’s disease takes on the delicate matter of assisted dying. Not an easy watch but a topic worthy of attention.

Ride Of Your Death of the Day: As part of his thesis work at the Royal College of Art in London, PhD candidate Julijonas Urbonas designed the “Euthanasia Coaster”: “[A] hypothetical euthanasia machine in the form of a roller coaster engineered to humanely – with elegance and euphoria – take the life of a human being.”

The track’s unique design subjects the rider “to a series of intensive motion elements,” which, in turn, induce a number of “unique experiences” taking the rider from euphoria and thrill through tunnel vision and loss of consciousness to their ultimate demise.

On the bright side, hardly a line.

A dog, “Leao”, sits for a second consecutive day, next to the grave of her owner, Cristina Maria Cesario Santana, who died in the week’s catastrophic landslides in Brazil, at the cemetery in Teresopolis, near Rio de Janiero, on Saturday. Brazilians Saturday braced for more rain, fearing further landslides after walls of muddy water tore through towns and claimed some 550 lives in the country’s worst flood disaster on record.

Shaun Gladwell: Apologies 1-6

From WfW: Australian multimedia artist Shaun Gladwell is known for his videos of people engaged in acts of physical virtuosity. His subjects—himself and others—have typically been practitioners of urban subcultures, like skateboarding, BMX-bike riding, break-dancing, and capoeira. However, Gladwell  is no ordinary video-wielding skateboarder and his artworks are not the fast and choppy videos you normally see in this genre. From the very beginning of his experiments with video he wanted to capture something different. Gladwell  slows down the action to allow us to analyse it.

In Apologies 1-6, he arrives on a motorcycle, to tend to kangaroos killed on the road, gently carrying them off for burial. The title could be a veiled reference to The Apology to Indigenous people.

via The Seventh Seal (1957, dir. Ingmar Bergman)

“The final scene when Death dances off with the travelers was, as I said, shot at Hovs Hallar. We had packed up for the day because of an approaching storm. Suddenly, I caught sight of a strange cloud. [Cinematographer] Gunnar Fischer hastily set the camera back into place. Several of the actors had already returned to where we were staying, so a few grips and a couple of tourists danced in their place, having no idea what it was all about. The image that later became famous of the Dance of Death beneath the dark cloud was improvised in only a few minutes.

That’s how things can happen on the set. We made the film in thirty-five days.”
