Holy Electricity
QUICK AND DIRTY: LIVE FROM LOCARNO Gonga (Nikolo Ghviniashvili) and Bart (Nika Gongadze) are cousins. They set up a get-rich-quick scheme by converting rusty crosses found in the local landfill into neon crucifixes. Their sales efforts result in a kaleidoscopic journey through the homes of fascinating people. Holy Electricity serves as an unconventional love letter to the city of Tbilisi. Kotetishvili wants to capture the unrelentingly colourful capital in all of its magnificence.

First impressions of Camp Habiba in Egypt
By Ben Rivers, originally published by Ecosystem Restoration Camps March 10, 2021 Between the Gulf of Aqaba and the Sinai mountains, lies Habiba Organic Farm (HOF), a patch of green in a dry and arid plain. Yousef parks his 4-wheel drive outside the gates of the farm and steps out into the cooling dusk. We follow him, welcoming the sea breeze and watching together as the heavy sun sinks behind the desert mountain range.
Krabi, 2562 review: Anocha Suwichakornpong and Ben Rivers slip and slide through the Holocene | Sight & Sound
A string of ambiguously connected vignettes, Anocha Suwichakornpong and Ben Rivers’s Krabi, 2562 has a diaphanous flutter and quicksilver evasiveness. It moves freely between documentary and fiction modes; when the camera lingers on mudskippers wriggling on the beach, it might be identifying a neither-nor kindred spirit in these amphibious fish that can breathe in air.

Ben Rivers: the films that influenced The Sky Trembles and the Earth Is Afraid and the Two Eyes Are Not Brothers
Watch The Sky Trebles and the Earth Is Afraid and the Two Eyes Are Not Brothers online on BFI Player Some years ago, I started thinking about joining the small and relatively unsung genre of behind-the-scenes films. This may have come about through reflection on my own practice as a filmmaker, questioning the urge to create worlds, and the obsessiveness that can cause you to disregard other aspects of life.
Ghost Strata first look: Ben Rivers’ cinematic archeology | Sight & Sound
“All your movies are about you, but [this one] is about your relationship with time,” a cartomancer says to Ben Rivers at the start of January, the first of the 12 chapters that make up Ghost Strata.
Berlinale first look: Earth presents a symphony of Anthropogenic destruction | Sight & Sound
There’s an essential dialectic at work in the films of Nikolaus Geyrhalter. Although his documentaries assume a critical perspective on their often sobering subjects – the legacy of Chernobyl (Pripyat, 1999), industrial food production (Our Daily Bread, 2005), the post-apocalypse (Homo Sapiens, 2016) – they also always contain a strong element of awe at the grandeur of the human enterprise and achievement on show.

Now, at Last! (2018) directed by Ben Rivers • Reviews, film + cast • Letterboxd
More Yeah, I'll come out and accept it. This is all on me. The premise of MUBI clearly suggested that this was an avant-garde short film about a sloth. The concept was to show us what it's like to live life always in slow motion. There was something so cool about the last part that I forgot everything else. There was a cool psychedelic section in color with cool tunes, so that was nice. Otherwise, there is not much to see. I would have loved to have seen more clips of the sloth trying something else.
10 great films about Gypsies and Travellers
The Ciambra (2017) The Ciambra is in cinemas from 15 June 2018 Jonas Carpignano’s new film The Ciambra is a neorealist fable about a young boy growing up in the Italian region of Calabria, part of a secluded neighbourhood of Romani people. In a nation where highly publicised hate crimes against Gypsies and Travellers have been relatively recent, The Ciambra looks at the mistrust with which the GRT (Gypsy, Roma and Traveller) community regards the rest of society.

vote up 1 vote down These boots are great to take on the trail, especially when there is a possibility of wet conditions. The waterproof, breathable boots make for a comfortable trip! Pros Waterproof Breathable Great traction Toe protection Good stability Cons Mesh material retains some water (although it still keeps feet dry) I broke these boots in for about a week before taking them to the Walls of Jericho trail in Estillfork, Ala. (8.2mi hike).
