Elephant's Dream

Elephants Dream

There are times when we just seem let our minds create a world of our own, although most of the time, our own worlds are never understood by other people. That's what Elephant's Dream is all about. Rendered and animated from Creative Commons licensed works and sources, Elephants Dream has been dubbed as the world's first 'open movie'. It has also been linked here some months ago. However, it still hasn't lost its charm and power to evoke a lot of emotions from it's viewers' minds. With over half million downloads and still counting, it's one short animation that you should check out; most especially if you are into those movies which make you think deeply.

Code Rush – documentary by David Winton on AOL’s takeover of Netscape and the Mozilla Foundation

"Code Rush" is a 1998 documentary directed by David Winton. It follows the lives of a group of Netscape engineers in Silicon Valley as they struggle to save their company from impending financial doom. The film shows them spending sleepless night after sleepless night, forsaking their family and friends while they labor to release the open-source code of Mozilla, which one of today's most popular browsers, Firefox, is based on. Netscape was also on the verge of being taken over by AOL, a company that even geeks do not find cool. This was another source of conflict for the employees of Netscape.

NWPUNKROCK: 30 plus years of punk in the northwest [2007]

"NWPUNKROCK" is a indie documentary showcasing the last 30 plus years of punk in the northwest - from Vancouver, BC to Olympia, Wa and Seattle. It's not an expensive, full blown production, but rather a labor of love and passion for punk music that deserves some recognition. As Dave, the films producer says, it is not an attempt to showcase every band to ever exist, but show a cross section of a little bit of every era. You will find lots of interesting interviews from bands and musicians separated by plenty of rare concert footage - it is a very raw look at the history of punk in the northwest.

Steal This Film – Part II

The League of Noble Peers are delighted, after more than a year, to release Part II of STEAL THIS FILM. In this film, we have tried to go beyond the current discussions around file-sharing to look at what kinds of social change are precipitated by massive changes in our capacity to communicate. We think the changes wrought by networked, peer distribution are historical on the scale of the printing press and here we try to explain why.

The Last Man on Earth [1964]

When a disease turns all of humanity into the living dead, the last man on earth becomes a reluctant vampire hunter. By night they leave their graves, crawling, shambling, through empty streets, whimpering, pleading, begging for his blood!

Night of the Living Dead [1968]

The Shining, The Exorcist and The Omen are all films that owe some of their stylistic approach to this film. This is the film that re-wrote the rules of the horror genre as it went along, whilst acting as both social critique and fond homage to 'The Birds' as well. Romero set in place a steady breakdown of all our assumptions of the horror film, which he then utilised to full effect through the rest of this film and the two superb sequels that followed.

The Secret Life of Adolf Hitler [1950]
