Filmmaker Guillaume Blanchet, cyclist extraordinaire, is the Man Who Lived On His Bike, eating, sleeping and riding his two-wheeled chariot for days and days across Montreal. Effortlessly edited and energetic, this film is steadily gaining award-after-award. One definitely worth watching.

These are the kind of words that change, or should change, your outlook on day to day life entirely. The late, legendary David Foster Wallace gave the speech, This Is Water, to a class of university graduates in 2005. Now it’s been put to film, and very effectively so.

This short colour video of London was shot in 1927 using a pioneering invention known as the Friese-Greene Colour Process. It’s a beautiful bit of film, and brings old London to life in a way I’ve never seen before. Poignant and mesmerising, and helped along by a great musical score.

One of the greatest movies ever. River’s Edge is a 1986 film about a group of high school kids. One of them murders their friend and the rest cover it up. Listen to this cast: Crispin Glover, Keanu Reeves, Ione Skye and Dennis Hopper, among others. The soundtrack includes Slayer, the Wipers and Agent Orange. It’s loosely based on the 1981 murder of Marcy Renee Conrad. I actually watched it on LSD once, but would not recommend it.

I recently watched this movie because I’m a huge fan of Stanley Kubrick. It talks about the (possible) hidden meanings the director put in the film, The Shining. Things such as his involvement in faking the Apollo 11 moon landing or his thoughts on the slaughter of the American Indians. They even talk about watching the movie forwards and backwards at the same time and show some cool examples of how this works together. While some of the ideas seem a bit far fetched, I must admit it was pretty fascinating.

Yep, we here at Lost At E Minor said years ago that mega-repository of all knowledge in the world, Google, was surely becoming our collective brain. Now the documentary Google and the World Brain is out, and it looks at Google’s ambitious plan in 2002 to scan every single book in the world.

The trailer contains some pretty ominous music. We’d Google the film reviews for this, but can anyone who has already seen it tell us how it was?

So Neels Castillon was shooting a commercial with Mathias Touzeris in Marseille, France, when a massive flock of starlings turned up and started a mass aerial display. The technical term for the dance is ‘murmuration’, and Alt-J’s Hand-made makes a really good soundtrack for the birds’ ensemble performance.

Adam Rigley and Bumbleton Communications make films about interesting people. Their recent fully funded Kickstarter project is just that. It’s a film about a 69 year-old man who owns a bar in Tucson, Arizona, and who legally goes by the name of God. He’s run for Mayor four times, partied with Burt Reynolds and Arnold Schwarzenegger, walks around town naked, boxed with Sugar Ray Leonard, and will fire-brand an image of his face on your body for .50 cents off drinks for the rest of your life. Photograph below by Zachary James Johnston.

Line uses 24 camera motion capture to make this short film which was inspired by dancing in a Brixton nightclub with dancer Afua Awuku and the dynamic paintings of Jackson Pollock. As a nightclub DJ, Reuben played the Brazilian track Negrume da Noite by Virginia Rodrigues.

After ten months of filming, Melbourne-based photographer Nathan Kaso, has produced this amazing short tilt-shift time-lapse film of my city. The film captures a range of different events and festivals held in the city throughout the year. Majority of the filming was done from Eureka Tower’s Skydeck and some car parks and bridges. The tilt-shift effect and grading was applied in Photoshop, and the film was edited in After Effects and Premiere Pro CS6.

David Bowie fans take note: if you missed the wonderful tribute, Dave, released at the end of 2012 be sure and take time out to enjoy it now. Part-art piece, part-music and movie tribute, Dave was an ambitious project put together by the music production duo, Soulwax, a.k.a. 2 Many DJs.

In their words: ‘There are many legends in the music industry but for us, there is no greater than the mighty Dave. We’ve included all things Bowie, whether that is original songs, covers, backing vocals, production work or reworks we made, to attempt to give you the full scope of the man’s genius’. Dave is one part of a bigger project called Radio Soulwax, an internet destination that streams unique music and video mash-ups created by Soulwax, 24 hours a day.

This hilariously dark (pun intended) short film by Ian Henderson stars my good friend and occasional editor Joe Vaz as the demented chocolatier. Like a short, dessert portion of Jeunet’s Delicatessen.

This wonderful tilt-shift slip of the Italian town Matera is another shining example of Timmy Henny’s work. He is a Capetonian filmmaker with a keen eye for what makes a human environment tick, as can be seen across his body of work.

In 2012 my friend set out to make a narco trafficking movie in Tijuana, Mexico. Little did he know that during the pre-production process he’d become engulfed in an infernal spirale. What follows is a movie that blurs the line between reality and fiction, life and fantasy. Checo Rubio pursued his passion for filmmaking further than anyone I know. A mad genius whose adventure is far from over.

Master of twee Wes Anderson has done it again: he’s teamed up with Roman Coppola for a three-part ad for Prada Candy L’ Eau fragrance starring Lea Seydoux as the capricious Candy, plus Peter Gadiot and Rodolphe Pauly as two almost-identical guys who vie for her affections.

It’s signature Wes right down to the vivid colors, deadpan exchanges and the unmistakable wide angles. It also comes with a liberal use of Jacques Dutronc’s breezy tunes.
