Establishing Shots (and how music affects them)

Musical
<p>In this inventive musical short, the very grammar of cinema becomes a playground for sonic exploration. The film follows a nameless director and their sound designer as they deconstruct the classic establishing shot, that sweeping visual introduction to a world, and pose a fascinating question: what if the music were different? Through a series of vignettes, the same majestic skyline, the same quiet street, and the same solitary figure are re-scored with wildly divergent musical genres. A triumphant orchestral swell transforms a mundane city into a land of epic adventure, while a melancholic jazz tune imbues the same frame with profound loneliness. As the pair experiments, the viewer is taken on a dizzying tour of how a single note can change the entire emotional temperature of a scene. This 23-minute piece is a love letter to both filmmaking and music, a playful and insightful experiment that reveals the hidden power of the soundtrack to shape narrative, mood, and meaning, proving that what we hear is just as important as what we see.</p>

Eugene Mirman: Here Comes The Whimsy

Comedy
<p>Eugene Mirman reveals a series of mild grievances with warmth and wonder in his new comedy special, Here Comes The Whimsy. He shares anecdotes from fatherhood, insights from travel, and tackles dress-code trauma and rental car disputes with a playful spirit that is both sharp and silly. He continues his tradition of offering untraditional ways to purchase the special, including packages that come with politically confusing magnetic bumper stickers, a small framed and autographed piece of Japanese siding from his house, a custom obituary, and a commemorative plate with a royal title. The New York Times writes, &#8220;Mirman&#8217;s stand-up is infused with a warm and cheerful sense of the ridiculous,&#8221; while Mike Birbiglia once called Eugene the &#8220;Andy Warhol of comedy.&#8221; Eugene is confident that this is the last comedy special you&#8217;ll watch (if you take poison right after).</p>

Eulogy

Comedy

In the days leading up to the funeral, she tries to hold her lunatic clan together as secrets are revealed, old grudges resurface and the household erupts with renewed vigor. A wickedly irreverent comedy, Eulogy is ultimately a heartwarming portrait of a houseful of misfits celebrating the strangest and most enduring bond of all : family.</p> <p>Kate Collins, struggling through an awkward first year at college, returns to the Collins family home upon the death of her grandfather. Kate may be somewhat out of step with the party-hearty rituals of campus life, but at home she's really a misfits: and island of normalcy in a sea of unruly Collinses.</p> <p>First, there's Kate's father Daniel - once a child star but now, unbeknownst to his daughter, a porn actor. Then there's tightly wound Aunt Lucy, who has waited till the last minute to announce her wedding to life partner Judy, and wildly impolitic Uncle Skip with his obnoxious twin boys. Last but not least, there's pushy Aunt Alice, who brings a steamroller approach to everything from marriage and motherhood to her brutal dinner casseroles.</p> <p>When her grandmother entrusts her with the task of delivering the eulogy, Kate naturally turns to her relatives for help. She quickly comes to realize that her own fond memories of Grandpa Collins are not shared by his children, who can only remember a distant father who, when around, could barely keep their names straight.</p> <p>As Kate struggles to find the right words to commemorate the solemn occasion, the rest of the famiy prepares for the event with its usual anarchy. In between the raucous infighting and the hilarious backbiting, family secrets are revealed and old wounds are exposed. In the end, the Collinses come to realize that theirs is a legacy of chaos, redeemed only by the moments of comfort they find in each other.</p>

Eva Hesse

Documentary
<p>Eva Hesse (1936-1970) is one of America's foremost postwar artists. Her pioneering sculptures, using latex, fiberglass, and plastics, helped establish the post-minimalist movement. Dying of a brain tumor at age 34, she had a mere decade-long career that, despite its brevity, is dense with complex, intriguing works that defy easy categorization. </p><p>"Eva Hesse", the first feature-length appreciation of her life and work, makes superb use of the artist's voluminous journals, her correspondence with close friend and mentor Sol LeWitt, and contemporary as well as archival interviews with fellow artists (among them, Richard Serra, Robert Mangold, Dan Graham) who recall her passionate, ambitious, tenacious personality. Art critic Arthur Danto has written that her work is: "full of life, of eros, even of comedy... </p><p>Each piece vibrates with originality and mischief." The documentary captures these qualities, but also the psychic struggles of an artist who, in the downtown New York art scene of the 1960s, was one of the few women to make work that was taken seriously in a field dominated by male pop artists and minimalists.</p>
