Megan Thee Stallion x New York Times - Protecting Women of Color

 directed by Kajal

(via The New York Times)

In the weeks leading up to the election, Black women are expected once again to deliver victory for Democratic candidates. We have gone from being unable to vote legally to a highly courted voting bloc — all in little more than a century.

Despite this and despite the way so many have embraced messages about racial justice this year, Black women are still constantly disrespected and disregarded in so many areas of life.

I was recently the victim of an act of violence by a man. After a party, I was shot twice as I walked away from him. We were not in a relationship. Truthfully, I was shocked that I ended up in that place.

My initial silence about what happened was out of fear for myself and my friends. Even as a victim, I have been met with skepticism and judgment. The way people have publicly questioned and debated whether I played a role in my own violent assault proves that my fears about discussing what happened were, unfortunately, warranted.

On Children :: Kahlil Gibran - 1883-1931

And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, Speak to us of Children.

     And he said:

     Your children are not your children.

     They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.

     They come through you but not from you,

     And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

     You may give them your love but not your thoughts,

     For they have their own thoughts.

     You may house their bodies but not their souls,

     For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

     You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.

     For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

     You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.

     The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.

     Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;

     For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.

VANMOOF :: BIKE COMMERCIAL BANNED FROM FRENCH TV

The Autorité de Régulation Professionnelle de la Publicité (ARPP) has ruled that this film cannot be broadcast in France because it creates “a climate of anxiety”. Is a thirty second spot of a melting car really too provocative for French TV?

Time to ride the future.

Catastrophe Anthem :: Christopher Hewitt

CATASTROPHE ANTHEM is the second film in an ongoing body of work exploring the theme of mental health. I met Tuesday in a casting session back in 2017. A self proclaimed, self modified, Hollywood Idol. We spent a year in conversation, discussing themes of self image and the implications of social media on young people - Eventually unifying her anxiety for the future into a visual metaphor for the end of the world. Catastrophe Anthem is a siren song. A warning for a culture who value appearance over meaning.

Tam Tam :: Outside the lines :: Greg Hackett

The right to citizenship at birth, ‘ius soli’, is still unapproved in Italy, denying over a million children, born of immigrant parents, automatic citizenship.

The film captures the story of an Italian basketball team, who were refused access to regional leagues because of the Italian born players’ immigration status.

Former Italian basketball champion, Massimo Antonelli, started the team at a disused holiday complex in Castel Volturno, an area that is made up of 25,000 inhabitants, a fifth of which are registered migrants. Being free to join, it offered local teenagers a chance to participate in after school sports and was sustained by generous donations.

The FPI (Italian Basketball Federation) rules stated that to compete, only 2 players per team could be migrants, which posed a problem for Antonelli and his team of hard working and committed players. Given his media status, he soon found himself at the centre of a debate about Italian citizenship and integration, and the question ‘what does it mean to be Italian?’ was brought to the fore.

Absence :: Arnaldo Iñigo

A haunting audio-visual exploration of love and mourning by director Arnaldo Iñigo. Inspired by the life of Iñigo’s grandmother, who lost 2 children in separate tragic accidents, “Absence” is set to two tracks — “Flesh and Bone” by Black Math and Luke Atencio’s “A ghost,” featuring spoken word by Tom O’Bedlam. As Iñigo explains, the film is a presentation of grief as a process of reflection and acceptance, chronicling the need to reconcile with the purpose of life.

A world unseen :: we sum

At a time of increasing urbanization, acceleration and digitization many people have lost their appreciation for the unspoilt environment and while globalization is thriving, the fragility of nature is often moved into oblivion. “A world unseen” takes an abstract look at our modern way of life, driven by our continuous strive for progress.
