A special place for a small-format video field dedicated, once upon a time, to video technique experiments, unorthodox art directions and/or kinetic performances.
As previously discussed this is a genre who has gotten a bit harsher to collect and research, there's some ways to start amassing a personal stash in a reliable way and check information regarding content creators, but in recent times these have gotten limited.
The IMVDb site is a good place to start although it seems its staff activity has halted, at least considering that community entries have been on hold for a year now, so it should probably be taken as an introductory resource rather than a golden rule.
Archive.org also features "small" batches of standard quality files, so it's also a most-see for new adventurers.

Featured here is one of the early products made by the famous Ninja Tune label, as the founders of said company Coldcut made a collaboration with Hexstatic to create a small Audiovisual single that shows the very early and pioneering technology of their own real-time video manipulation software, something also called video scratching as it remixes and manipulates video as it were a vinyl on a disc jockey table, with audio included. Something that just very recently has been considered a normal mark in video sites, and mostly as an evolution of golden age Youtube Poop which is at its earliest around 2007; Coldcut made

I do not know the general consensus, but I think music videos offer more freedom to some mavericks. Chris Cunningham, for example, was going to direct a screen adaptation for Neuromancer, but he left the project because he wouldn't get final cut approval. So yeah, some of them don't sell out. Some people still have dignity, unlike the poser >>733 mentioned.

Somewhat agreed but there's many excellent videos with only dancing, talking heads or just experimental techniques, usually combining rhythm and/or lyrics with the visual cues. It's music-oriented mini short films after all, narrative or performance.
One thing for sure is that i find hard to remember a video i liked that i didn't also like the song, just realized that and it seems hypocritical from my part.

A thread for Nordic cinema.

update: the second one was kinda bad, but the other ones were great (especially the first one)
There was this film I saw years ago about these wanderers somewhere in the nordic realms long, long ago. The struggles for their survival under harsh conditions against all odds was the primary scenario of the film. What struck me then and has stuck with me since was the final scene where the 5 remants made it alive, and then each of them had some kind of legendary symbol float up above them towards the overhead camera shot -- it was apparently that these 5 individuals were the core of some following nordic myth or legend.

Unfortunately I've forgotten what the name of the movie was, or even which language it was in. I've tried to locate it since, but to no avail. My guess is it was filmed in the 70's or 80's. I wish I could find it again.

Ring any bells, /film/?
any more recommendations, anons?

You don't expect to see a whodunit parlor mystery selected as a nation's top film, but that's what critics did in Finland. Inspector Palmu's Mistake is certainly an essential entry in the genre, smartly written with a coterie of compelling characters. But I'm not quite sure what the inspector's mistake was -- his one slip-up was being temporarily distracted after getting drunk during lunch.

Growing up I always enjoyed watching films, but when I got older I started studying film and it tainted my movie-going experience permanently. It used to be that movies had a magical, escapist quality to them for me. But now when I watch a movie I can't help but criticize and analyse it in my mind. I can't stop myself from being taken out of immersion. It's no longer a fun past time, but a chore.

It's very frustrating for me, because I just want to get absorbed into a story and forget about everything for 90 minutes, but I can't. Has anyone else here faced this problem?

Happened to me, that's why i started posting on /film/ because i had very few friends in contact whom i could talk about it. Had the luck to have one that recommended me decent stuff at an early age but it wasn't until college that i could find likeminded people, they are still top-tier friends but even before this pandemic i rarely could talk about movies because they got sucked into work life, paying taxes and such.
And to make things worse i don't watch films anymore, i download them but never sit down to watch them due to my eternal college struggles and sidetracking with other hobbies. I did watch some low-brow stuff and somewhat got fond of it hence why i will start a thread about it in the near future to dump in some observations about certain aspects, peasant action cinema does have some redeemable qualities in its technical aspects along with unorthodox procedures to cut costs.

It really depends, if its a movie i want to take seriously and i will watch it alone, there are other movies though that aren't very good and the only enjoyment you'll get out of them is by sharing the experience.

Have any of you guys seen this? I only found out about these two Ellis Island subversives recently. Now I see there's a movie about them (probably very sympathetic). Maybe the anti-communist scenes are good though.

Are you forgetting about his (Caden's) mental illness(es)? Check this out:

>Repetition compulsion is a psychological phenomenon in which a person repeats an event or its circumstances over and over again. This includes re-enacting the event or putting oneself in situations where the event is likely to happen again. This "re-living" can also take the form of dreams in which memories and feelings of what happened are repeated, and even hallucinated.

>Repetition compulsion can also be used to cover the repetition of behaviour or life patterns more broadly: a "key component in Freud's understanding of mental life, 'repetition compulsion' ... describes the pattern whereby people endlessly repeat patterns of behaviour which were difficult or distressing in earlier life".

Motivational Growth - but it goes the "gf solves life crisis" route which ruins the movie.

Synecdoche, New York is not about someone on a dead end journey, it's the exact opposite. 
It's about a man's journey that leads toward the implementation of his shadow. Sammy is his shadow, most obviously when he jumps and then Caden stands over him saying that he didn't jump. This is the moment Caden realizes the difference between his true self and his shadow. The movie is mainly a metaphor for a Jungian journey through life. Implementing your shadow can get you out of a dead end life. Adaptation shares the same themes. Becoming your higher self can change your life. 
The film follows a trajectory of Plato's cave, out of the realm of shadows (or simply put, false ideas about the world) into enlightenment. Anyone who has been through this journey can relate the rebuilding of a city over and over again to the real world phenomenon of understanding one's life through many different angles and perspectives. If this is done correctly, the understanding of all the parts of one's life and then understanding life as a whole, which is the end, leads to self-liberation. This liberation is mostly freed from personal suffering and opens the gates for great creativity to flow.

For a movie that can truly induce existential dread about not moving forward watch Jeff, Who Lives at Home. He's basically trapped in the hamster wheel or the rebuilding of a city over and over because he's, by unfortunate chance, too stupid to escape it. He finds a false salvation in one event rather than in an

Recently started to dig up some "forgotten" films that need love in order to restore or redistribute them. Let me know if you want me to look up a specific film you're interested in, right now we just finished a second try restoration for Madness by Cesare Rau https://youtube.com/watch?v=PI_wY7EUU_M
...and next we want to move onto Cerco de Terror and Appuntamento a Dallas. (The first edition of Madness had a bit of color correction problems, it was too fucking dark at times)

On 8chan someone requested Gillo Pontecorvo's La Grande Strada Azzurra, so we're currently working on that too.
