PLASTIC BAGS love story

21 Dec

A night walk in the windy streets of Tel Aviv turns into a ecstatic-meditative journey, following the magical encounter of two plastic bags who wonder the streets together, going on and on in a mystical cyclical bag dance. And for a moment the whole street seems to wake up with vibrant life – joining them in a communal dance of bags, feathers,  flowers and even a butterfly.

What I love about this movie, among other things, is it’s sweeping spontaneity: the powerful sense our protagonists radiate (and even I as a viewer have) of witnessing a magical moment – of being in the presence of magic. This magic is very quiet and low-key. It could have easily have gone unnoticed (and indeed is unnoticed by the  bypassers and the cars who cross the street), but our two protagonists, ready to explore the mystery of the streets, are rewarded with the subtle poetical magic that makes this scene enchanted.

“Took part in the making/filming/singing of the movie:
yaacov beaton, mihal goldstein, inbar algazi, shira levy, avner amit, keren sheffi.”

5. Jibal Alnuba ٥. جبال النوبة
(the Nuba Mountains) (traditional medley of two songs from the ‘girls songs’ tradition of music in Central Sudan.

Oh my heart, my loved one has traveled and left me.
I sent a letter to my loved one, the one i adore.
The precious youth of our lands,
Got on a truck and said, i’m going to the Nuba Mountains.

The fire, oh my god,
The reason for this fire, my dear god,
my father told me not to sell salt.
He told me not to sell salt,
but i sell salt because of that beautiful sweet one.
The fire, oh my god
the reason for this fire, my dear god
My father told me not to sell chili and spices.
He told me not to sell chili and spices
but i sell chili and spices because of that beautiful precious catch.

Tame Impala – Half Full Glass Of Wine

18 Dec

Half Full Glass Of Wine is the type of song you come across rarely with it’s half speed, double riffing magic. Kevins vocals float through the air like a magic carpet ride through an aural wonderland, the guitars dual each other in a call and response frenzy, which all leads up to a beast of a solo that holds you by the soul galloping away in oblivion.

Half Full Glass Of WIne comes accompanied by a video directed by creative minds Special Problems (Cut Off Your Hands, Mercy Arms) who has created the perfect trippy realm for you to get lost in. Humming birds that flutter around a sumo wrestler, monkeys bounce off of canons and dance upon their fiery discharge, dogs jump at floating ships on the horizon like possessed beasts.

Thanks to my house mate Loic for the link (I advice you to have a look at his blog as painter/street art actor : http://lepantinpeint.blogspot.fr/)
