Home, the most beautiful documentary you have ever seen!
First of all I’m sorry for not discovering this movie earlier. This is the internet: a vast chaos in which we try to figure out some order. Anyways, … what you’re about to see (in case you haven’t yet) is- in my opinion-the most beautiful visual-poetry I have ever seen. … read more
We should ALL thank him!
This is not about God! I don’t even believe in God. It’s about a human being, just like the rest of us. We owe him everything: the sounds we hear, the light we see, the freedom to talk and think as we like. Finally, we can reveal his name.
Let’s all be happy that we are contemporary with him.

Harvard Justice Course with professor Michael Sandel
Is torture ever justified? Would you steal a drug that your child needs to survive? Is it sometimes wrong to tell the truth? How much is one human life worth?
What do you think, and why?
Justice is one of the most popular courses in Harvard’s history. Nearly one thousand students pack Harvard’s historic Sanders Theatre to hear Professor Sandel talk about justice, equality, democracy, and citizenship.

World of Video
Realy interesting graphic animation, with a retro feel. Made by Musclebeaver for the diploma in university 2005 of graphic design and animation. I think it’s a good movie for video-cassete nostalgics.

Making of The Dark Side Of The Moon
Because any DJ in the world is using a sampler or a synthesizer, because new music relies heavily on loop sequences, because this album stayed on the Billboard 200 for 741 weeks (that’s 14 years !!!), because this album has, probably, the most iconic album cover in history and because it’s a worth watching documentary, I present to you the Making of The Dark Side Of The Moon

The Century of the Self
For those of you who saw this documentary (which is kind of a milestone for the PR people), I’m sure this is nothing new. But for those of you who didn’t, this is a beautiful retrospective of the 20th century regarding “how those in power have used Freud’s theories to try and control the dangerous crowd in an age of mass democracy” (Adam Curtis – director, writer and producer of this series).
It has 4 episodes, each telling a different part of the last century. From Edward Bernays who invented Public Relations, because “Propaganda” had a bad connotation in the peoples minds (it was aggressively used by the Nazis), to the “Torches of Freedom” – a slogan invented so that women can freely smoke in public (it was a tabu at that time and they discovered that cigarettes are – in fact – a phallic symbol), so they told women – more or less – that they can have their own penis.
I’m not gonna spoil all the fun here, but I strongly recommend this series. It’s a 4 hours time consuming but it’s worth watching!
