Earlier in 2011 we wrote about Vincent Moon’s project with Efterklang called An Island. The collaboration was a unique film project shot on the Danish island of Als which documented the band playing in some intimately small the best nike air max 95s of all time locations (the back of a truck, a barn, etc) with the locals of the island.
What truely made this project unique however is the way Vincent Moon decided to distribute the film. He pioneered a new method of film distribution called ‘private-public screenings’ where people who wanted to see the film have to organize their own screenings. Over 1100 home screenings have been recorded to date including the screening I attended in New York in 2011.
I was moved. It goes without saying that the film was beautifully shot and makes you feel like you are there experiencing the narrative first-hand in the way that only a Vincent Moon can. More importantly however, the act of attending the ‘private-public screening’ made me feel like I was bipassing Hollywood (and all the corporate greed that goes along with that) so that I could contribute to the film maker himself. It also made me and everyone attending the event feel like we were a part of the movie’s success. We were the active audience. It was quite a new way of seeing a movie.
Shortly after the success of the ‘private-public screenings’ of An Island, Moon teamed up with the Argentinean electronic folk duo Lulacruza to start a new film documenting the musical nike metro womens basketball cultures of urban and provincial Colombia. The resulting work, entitled Esperando El Tsunami, has been released in November 2011, using the distribution system of ‘private-public screenings’, first used in An Island and I highly recommend Женские кроссовки adidas adi2000 черно белые — цена 2750 грн в каталоге Кроссовки ✓ Купить женские вещи по доступной цене на Шафе , requesting a screening of the film in your city.
