DIT graduate Eoin Duffy’s unexpectedly poignant abstract animation, which was shown at last year’s Galway International Film Festival. Short of The Week, where the film premiered yesterday, sez:

…a compilation of audio visual abstraction and creativity packed into five tender minutes. Based on his own personal experience in dealing with his younger brother [Emmet’s] suicide, Duffy crafts a stylistic journey of a traveler navigating through an airport. He is surrounded by a world of sterile efficiency—of clean shapes and symbols that offer nothing to assuage his grief.

Photographer and professor of film, Cy Kuckenbaker’s composite video of five hours worth of landings at San Diego airport on Black Friday compressed into 30 seconds.

All planes were shot against a clear blue sky and chroma-keyed together against a cloudy sky background. All inspired, of course, by Ho-Yeol Ryu’s composite of take-offs at Hannover Airport (top pic)

European airlines will have to compensate passengers by up to €600 if their flights are delayed by over three hours following a landmark ruling by the European Court of Justice yesterday.

Europe’s highest court upheld a 2009 decision which ruled that passengers flying within the EU who suffer significant flight delays have the same rights to compensation as passengers whose flights are cancelled.

It will pave the way for passengers to claim millions in compensation. But consumer advocates said they did not anticipate airlines would make it easy for delayed people to claim.
