Koyaanisqatsi – Life Out of Balance (1982) by Godfrey Reggio. The whole documentary at 16x speed for several reasons but mainly the internet.
7pm, Thursday September 25th, 2012.
One day last month, more than more than 500 Irish kids filmed a moment in their lives and submitted the footage to producers Macalla Teo for inclusion in the documentary series Life’s Like This.
The results, in the form of 12 three-minute documentary films, will be broadcast tomorrow (Tuesday 6th November ) on the hour, every hour between 8am and 7pm on RTÉ2 – each three-minute compilation transmitted at the same hour of the day it was filmed.

The latest mini-documentary from Off Book, the PBS web arts series, explores the highs (diversity, community) and lows (rampant misogyny) of Reddit culture, with contributions from – among others – Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian.
Since its creation in 2005, Reddit has grown into one of the most influential communities on the internet. More than just a content aggregator, it generates information and new content, and has given birth to intriguing collaborative projects that reflect a particular group character and value system. The Reddit community has become so active that it has had an impact on recent political events like SOPA/CISPA. And like any real-world community, it also has its share of internal social issues, forcing it to grapple with its commitment to free speech and the lawlessness of the internet.

A trailer for Matthew Bate’s multi award-winning documentary Shut Up Little Man!
In 1987, Eddie and Mitch moved into a low-rent apartment in San Francisco where, through paper-thin walls, they were informally introduced to their middle-aged alcoholic neighbors, Raymond (a raging homophobe) and Peter (a flamboyant gay man). For 18 months, they hung a microphone from their kitchen window to chronicle the bizarre relationship between their borderline-insane neighbors, accidentally creating one of the world’s first “viral” counter-culture sensations on the underground tape market.
