The Road From Karakol follows one man on a two-wheeled journey across Kyryzstan, the mountainous former Soviet Republic west of China. And as if cycling all over the 77,000 square mile nation wasn’t challenge enough, Kyle Dempster also climbed as many peaks as he could while on his journey. See The Road from Karakol tonight at the 2013 […]
“Obviously that’s not a lot of fun, getting hit by a bus, so I wanted to do something positive,” Bicycle Film Festival director Brendt Barbur tells ANIMAL. Biking in New York can be perilous, but there’s a reason why we do it and since 2001, Barbur celebrated the biking spirit in a series of screenings, […]
San Francisco filmmaker Brian Emerick created this sweet little film, which relies on a simple premise to communicate its love for New York City: every shot is just one second long, and everything was recorded over a single 12 day visit to NYC.

Lone cowboy with wanderlust embarks on soul-searching adventure, meets girl who wants to settle down, gets torn between love and the open road… It’s a story we’ve heard before, but somehow, Janapar manages to come off as fresh and original.

Produced by Reef Television, the house behind such masterpieces as The Grape Escape, Sarah Beeny’s Selling Houses, and Britain’s First Photo Album Presented by John Seargant, the film will presumably tell […]
Here’s an epic eight-minute supercut from Leigh Singer of film characters interacting with the audience. There’s a solid narrative feel to this one. Almost every cut feels purposefully placed, like the succession of the original Funny Games followed by the remake. Oh yeah, there are probably spoilers, because movies and such. […]
If the above trailer doesn’t get you jazzed up to paint the shit out of some signs, I don’t know what would. Seriously, this thing looks amazing, plus it features a cameo from sign painting fanatic Steve Powers aka ESPO. Sign Painters begins screening in March. […]
