Sunset Television is probably best enjoyed in a slightly mind-altered state, somewhere between being awake and delirium. That space late at night where you can laugh at stuff without having to make sense of it. Basically, Sunset Television kicks ass and we love these guys for their messed up sense of humour. Check out their videos here. [...]

After ten days, the intensive search was abandoned. On the twelfth day, Juliane Koepcke, a seventeen year old [...]

A tale of epic proportions, it sees the maniacal European (Klaus Kinski) enlist natives of the Peruvian rainforest to pull his 340 ton paddle steamer over a mountain, in order to harvest an untouched expanse of rubber trees on the other side; all in the ultimate [...]
One of the highlights of the Venice Biennale is no doubt Christian Marclay’s The Clock. Made up of thousands of fragments of film in some way showing the time, it is edited together to make one 24 hour non-stop video that runs perfectly in sync with the local time of where it is being exhibited. [...]
