Une nuit Parisienne (Paris by night) by Gilles De Caevel

Last updated by Darren on 10 May 2012

Une nuit Parisienne (Paris by night) is a time-lapse non-verbal film by Gilles De Caevel.

It's beautifully shot and shows Paris from an interesting and exciting perspective.

From Giles

"It's a thing I have done by myself: une nuit parisienne

If Baraka or Koyyan didn't exist probably this video should have take the same path.

This video had been shot between February and July 2010 in Paris and few towns around with a 50D canon.

The music is signed by Jonsi and the title of this is "Go do" www.jonsi.com

Thanks a lot to my editor Mr Griboval and many friends of mine who care and support this project; Dawa, Camille, Sonia, Nath et Anas."

A great quote from Godfrey Reggio. Also read about Tom Lowe's feelings after watching Samsara, how it differs from Baraka, and Godfrey's response to that.

RASA YATRA - a film by Param Tomanec

Last updated by Darren on 13 April 2012

RASA YATRA is a film by Param Tomanec, (50mins) photographed in India inspired by Baraka and Qatsi series.

"RASA YATRA evokes the beauty of pilgrimage and explores the essence of devotion in Hindu culture through non-linear narrative. Rasa is Sanskrit for 'juice' or 'taste', and it can also mean 'dance'. Yatra means 'journey', suggesting a joyful inner expedition, beyond the confines of routine and conceptual conventions. Photographed over a period of four years, RASA YATRA takes the viewer on a meditative journey from the majestic Himalayan mountains into Vrindavana, the spiritual heart of India. For the receptive viewer, RASA YATRA becomes a pilgrimage rather than a mere depiction of one."

Godfrey Reggio personally reviewed the film and he offered encouraging filmmaker's support in the stages of the final edit.Read more >>>
