Bathing Micky is a documentary Directed by Frida Kempff

It is about 100 year old Micky Bader.

Micky gives us an insight into her experiences of such things as Nazi Germany, love and life at 100.

Beautifully photographed and very endearing...I recommend you keep an eye out for it as it is currently cruising international film festivals all over the place.

But for now just have a looksee at their website www.bathingmicky.com

Just a little shout out

Another Teacher Feature

Documentary by Ondi Timoner.

We Live In Public follows Josh Harris, the guy who was at the forefront of the internet BOOM in the 90's, creating the company Pseudo, the first internet network.

He was clearly clued up on the whole internet networking idea...way before all this "blog" bizz came along.

Ondi kept up on Josh's projects for many years, collecting 5000 hours worth of footage, which shows his progression in understanding the affects of internet networking.

Josh basically experiments with intense networking situations.

He created the project "Quiet" which held a community of people underground for 30 days under the constant watch of camera's , so that everyone could watch EVERYTHING and EVERYONE. A cooler form of big brother. It gets pretty crazy, but is quite an interesting prediction of where we are all heading now......

Feast your eyes on it, its good.-------->> WE LIVE IN PUBLIC

Ab Fab in decline.

This is a feature documentary called Grey Gardens, shot in 1975, by Albert Maysles, David Maysles, Ellen Hovde, Muffie Meyer.

Its an intimate portrait of "little" and "big" Edie Beale, a mother and daughter who lived in the derelict building in this photo above.

The two woman lived a very intriguing, isolated life, yet they do not seem to be introverts and were clearly once part of a very "high society" scene; still maintaining an impressive collection of beautiful outfits.

The film records lots of insightful moments and shows the Beale's to be lovely ladies.

See it.

The Invention of Dr Nakamats

Link to the documentary I posted about a little while ago but only provided you with the trailer.

Well... kindly, 4DOCs have allowed us to view the full film online. Nice!

So have a watch and then, make what you will!

The man seems very intriguing.

Anthopology

Over To You Trygve.

Director Håvard Fossum studies anthopology at goldsmiths university.

I found this on their film archive and there are loads more too but this one took my fancy.

A nice portrait. Watch it if you like looking at things.

Music Doc

Vincent Moon makes documentaries about musicians.

His abundance of work describes the link between music and culture.

View his website for more lovely films: http://www.vincentmoon.com

This documentary follows a "teen" band in Canada called The Luyas.

The spontaneity of the group works wonderfully with Vincent's curious hand-held camera work and creates some beautiful imagery as well as a nice little "video album".

Kudos to the drummer who seems extremely talented!

T.B.C (But watch it anyway)

Now For A Feature

The Windmill Movie Official Trailer from Alexander Olch on Vimeo.

A portrait of filmmaker, Richard P. Rogers.

This is just the trailer, so your challenge is to find the full 80min film.

This feature length doc pieces together Mr Rogers attempted autobiography after he died in 2001 leaving behind 200 hours of raw film footage of his life.

Fortunately for Alexander Olch (who waded through the footage to find the bits which make this documentary as lovely as it is), Rogers has recorded some beautiful imagery, some of which has been acted out by Richard Rogers close (and famous) friends to give the Doc a very un-formulaic, non realist structure.

Photographer JR

Particularly like the way these portraits have been exhibited.

A film created by the french photographer JR...the above video is just the trailer and the one below is a nice film about how they used the photographs.

His website has a lot of other work on it too and its all beautiful. Maybe you should have a look?

The intro to the trailer may be slightly cheesy but we'll let him off 'cos he's good.

David Lynch Interview Project

This young lady is called Jenny Brown.

Her interview with Austin Lynch is part of a series of short documentaries called the Interview Project started by David Lynch

The project consisted of a small team taking a road trip round America with the intention to interview the people they met along the way.

Each person sits and tells us a bit about their life and although it all sounds rather dull I recommend you at least watch this one with Jenny, because it's surprisingly interesting. Mainly because she's so sweet!

Episode 109 Jenny Brown

I love how she exits the room at the end to put on some Roy Orbison.

If you find another good one, maybe let me know or something? I don't know.

A Man on a Mission

LOVE LIFE: The Tale of Steve Fugate from Erin Henning on Vimeo.

Please meet this very nice man in Love Life: The Tale of Steve Fugate. by Erin Henning.

He is basically Flanders from the simpsons but much less annoying and cooler.

Steve has walked a massive distance and has a lot of love.

This little portrait of his life has been put together in a very effecting way, with some lovely wide images.

you will probably want to hug him at the end.

UP THERE from Jon on Vimeo.

I was only saying the other day how much it pleases me to see old painted advertisements on the side of buildings...worn and wonderful.

So you can imagine my delight when I found this Documentary called Up There Directed, Edited and Photographed by Malcolm Murray.

It tells the tales of those who scale the towering buildings of new york, to paint them in adverts.

What an amazing job to have!

Some lovely camera work, and a nice little time lapse at the end which shows just how talented these people are.

Lets go to new york soon?

Please meet Pat

Pat - A Documentary Short from Nathaniel Hansen on Vimeo.

Pat was introduced to us by Nathaniel Hansen.

And what a lovely lady she is!

Nathaniel says on his Vimeo page (here you go - http://vimeo.com/salmonrun) that he had walked past Pat's shop hundreds of times and always wondered what her story was.

I'm very glad he decided to ask, as she passes some good wisdom.

He has helped tell her little tale in a really nice way, with his use of the camera and choice of content.

He has more on his Vimeo if you fancy a look?

One for all the family

Billykirk from The Scout on Vimeo.

A sweet and simple Documentary by "The Scout" entitled Billykirk.

One to watch if you fancy putting your feet up with a larvly cup-a-tea.

No interest in craftsmanship required, just enjoy the excellent photography.

Although in a wonderfully subtle way it does make you slightly intrigued as to what they are doing.

Lots of good blues music too.

...and if you do enjoy craftsmanship, then even better.

A "Must See"

This is Lift by Marc Isaacs.

Has a beautiful aesthetic and tone which sets the situation up in a really alien way.

A bit of a cultural experience with a difference.

I can almost guarantee you will find at least one person, within this film, that you enjoy.

I think Morris is my favourite

The Archive

The Archive from Sean Dunne on Vimeo.

This is one cool fella.

I found this on Vimeo, Directed by Sean Dunne and Photography by Ed David. (Visit their website for more lovely little stories...http://veryapeproductions.com/)

A surprisingly touching documentary.

Absolutley love how modest this man is, as well as his genuine, massive dedication to music.

I didn't think it was possible to envy someone and sympathize with them at the same time!

Also...lots of really nice cinematography to get your eyes in to too.

When I earn lots of money I will buy his archive. Don't worry.
