In 1989, two Melbourne teenage hackers known as Electron and Phoenix stole a restricted computer security list and used it to break into some of the world’s most classified and supposedly secure computer systems. So fast and widespread was the attack, no-one could work out how it had happened – until one of the hackers called The New York Times to brag.
Ten years after their arrest, this dramatised documentary uncovers not only how they did it but why. It takes us headlong into the clandestine, risky but intoxicating world of the computer underground.
Jim Goldblum, Adam Weber und Josh Cogan aus New York haben versucht, über die Crowdfunding-Plattform Kickstarter 40.000 Dollar für ihr Dokumentarfilmprojekt “Tomorrow We Disappear” über indische Fahrensleute in einem Slum in Delhi zusammenzubekommen. Am 13. November 2011 wurde die Projektfinanzierung mit 61.931 Dollar von 540 Unterstützern erfolgreich abgeschlossen; dazu gab es noch 3.877 Facebok-Likes.
Zu dem Projekt schreiben die drei: For hundreds of years roaming artists traveled the Indian countryside, creating the stories, the mythological backbone that would unite a country. Before radio, film, and television, these artists helped form what we now call the Web of India. In the 1950s the artists ended their itinerant routes and moved into vacant land beside a jungle in West Delhi. They called their new home the Kathputli Colony. The colony is now a tinsel slum, providing home to some of the world’s greatest street magicians, acrobats, and puppeteers. But last year the government sold the Kathputli land to real estate developers; the slum is to be bulldozed and cleared for development. Our film, “Tomorrow We Disappear,” will take you into the world of the Kathputli Colony, to experience the last remnants of its unique culture before it’s too late.
Zu “Early in the morning” schreibt der schwedische Filmer Kristoffer Jansson: “I couldn’t go to sleep, so I took a walk outisde early in the morning. A storm was heading my way, I could hear some light thunder. I saw some fog moving slowly down from the mountain, I thought it would be cool to do some time-lapse. Then I figure out to shot some more stuff.”
Auf diesem aufgefalteten Umschlag verzeichnete Galileo Galilei über einen Zeitraum von mehreren Nächten die Positionen der vier Monde des Jupiter. Er beobachtete die Monde mit Hilfe eines neu gebauten Fernrohrs und veröffentlichte seine Erkenntnisse 1610 in dem revolutionären Buch Sidereus Nuncius (”Sternenbote”). In einer radikalen Abkehr von seiner universitären Ausbildung bestand er darauf, seine wissenschaftlichen Theorien durch Beobachtung und physische Beweise zu belegen, statt sich nur auf alte Autoritäten zu stützen.
Das Dokument befindet sich in der Morgan Library in New York.
“Alan Toffolo, a young italian farmer, who loves his job, has always dreamed of working with heavy machinery on big fields. One day he decides to fulfill his dream and finds the cotton in Australia. I advised him to buy a small HD camera and bring back the maximum of footage. This was the first time he shot video. After 9 months of hard work and loneliness, he returned tired but happy, rich in experiences and a hard disc full of surprising images”:
Ryan Killackey about “A Day in California“: “I worked on this project on and off for over a year and a half. It is composed of over 10,000 photos shot in California by my wife and I.” Time-lapse footage of the Golden State set to the tune of Cinematic Orchestra — now with 100% more tilt-shift!
