here’s a few interesting little film things i came across today:

‘fontanel’ posted this wonderfully quirky reconstruction of the 1982 world cup match between france & germany: refait

…every aspect of the fifteen last minutes of the match was carefully reconstructed : players, positions, gestures, intensity, drama etc. It consists in shifting the traditional game area into the urban environment. Each sequence takes place in one or several locations and then the city temporarily becomes the lab for unsual experiments…

‘fast lane’ a set of three viral films for volkswagen
and below a very zen-like, slow pace, compilation of the final resting place of some of new york’s more famous AIDS victims…

yellow pictures might be by either

this fascinating geo-tagging project looks a lot better than the one mentioned earlier today… shown here are amsterdam, tokyo and london…

…blue points on the map are pictures taken by locals (people who have taken pictures in this city dated over a range of a month or more).

Red points are pictures taken by tourists (people who seem to be a local of a different city and who took pictures in this city for less than a month).

Yellow points are pictures where it can’t be determined whether or not the photographer was a tourist (because they haven’t taken pictures anywhere for over a month). They are probably tourists but might just not post many pictures at all.

The maps are ordered by the number of pictures taken by locals….
