What China’s gonna do – Shi-San-Wu
8 FebLast October, the Chinese government launched a campaign to inform the international public about it’s 13th five year plan, the Shi San Wu. Interestingly, in their attempt to win the hearts of the the international crowd, they chose to produce their clip in a markedly psychedelic style. So if you ask me, I’m not sure what I think about the five year plan, but I definitely like the clip, and if you watch it you’ll soon be singing along in Chinese: “The Shi-San-what? The shi-san-wu!”

Ave – Bracha LaShana Hachadasha (A blessing for the new year)
23 JanA few years ago we’ve featured a number of videos by Ave (here, here and here), which presented a very personal, meditative and sometimes even mystical style.
I find that Ave’s work is remarkable in the way in which it connects one to the experience of the present moment. Even more remarkably, it does that by merging the viewer with the naked presence of the moment in which the video was taken, with its qualities of unpredictability, unrepeatability, spontaneity and freedom. These meditative journeys can be embarked upon by following a plastic bag as it wonders around the city, going up and down the amusement park wonder wheel together with your friend, or singing to the sun.
In this video Ave and friends probe deeper into the realms of performance. They present the camera with a space of deep intimacy, which can be entered and experienced by anybody watching this video.
Ashes to snow
18 JanAshes to snow is one of the most impressively psychedelic films I have watched. It is like a prayer that slowly enfolds on the screen, escorting the viewer through endless realms of devotion. A film which aims to capture that elusive moment of awareness and bring it to the screen. I highly recommend watching the full thing with open eyes and heart and an expanded mind.
The color of pommegranates
11 JanIf you liked Jodrowski’s Holy Mountain, you might also enjoy Parjanov’s The Color of Pommegrantes (1969) which might very well be called the soviet holy mountain.
