As part of the ongoing $90 million renovation of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra’s new home at the historic Warner Grand Theatre, engineers were required to expand the old cinema stage area while retaining the building’s original 1931 back wall.
Which they did, by moving the whole thing back 10.6 meters – upright and intact – along a series of specially built tracks.
In fairness.

An award-winning short by Lightfarm Studios and Area 23 featuring a traumatic, blurry struggle in a strange world.
Aryah Nirenberg’s interesting (and more accurate) take on traditional time lapse videos of the night sky wherein the Heavens stay still and our relatively insignificant speck of a globe twirls beneath the galactic tapestry.
‘Unity’ – a pleasingly eye-candiful experimental film by Rus Khasanov featuring hundreds of multicoloured paint bubbles (captured in sharp focus and bokeh style) rolling, merging and exploding across the screen – all set to a soundtrack by Dimitry Evgrafov.
A time-lapse showing the impressive three day ballet of grounds staff and machinery that switched Amsterdam’s Johan Cruijff Arena back to a football pitch following a U2 concert in October of last year.

‘The Railrodder’ (1965) directed by Gerald Potterton and produced by the National Film Board of Canada, was Buster Keaton’s last silent movie. The comedian, writer, producer and stunt performer died at the age of 70 the following year.
As “the railrodder”, Keaton crosses Canada from east to west on a railway track speeder. True to Keaton’s genre, the film is full of sight gags as our protagonist putt-putts his way to British Columbia. Not a word is spoken throughout, and Keaton is as spry and ingenious at fetching laughs as he was in the old days of the silent slapsticks.
In the documentary ‘Buster Keaton Rides Again’ (above), Keaton – resting in the specially appointed railway coach where he and his wife Eleanor lived during filming – talks (yes, talks) about the movie.
A short by Emma Ehrling in which a man tries out one of those expanding capsule toys and gets more than he bargained for.
With a nod, if not a deep bow to Rick And Morty , this short by Stefan Schumacher tells the tale of Trevor and Gleb – two alien sharks who camouflage themselves to blend in after crash landing on a strange planet.
And therein lies a grim message about the plight of real sharks on earth.
