Herriott Grace Trailer from John Cullen on Vimeo.
I love wooden products, especially when it's handcrafted. Here's a glimpse about a collaboration between a daughter and her father to pursue their passion: wood. A simple heartwarming, honest and moving documentary. Don't you want to see the whole documentary?Herriot Grace

Pyuupiru 01-08
PYUUPIRU 2001 - 2008
Director : Daishi MATSUNAGA
Japan, 2009
91 minutes
Site
Pyuupiru is a Japanese contemporary artist whose works are highly acclaimed in recent years. An old friend of his (hers), Daishi Matsunaga has filmed him for 8 years, ever since Pyuupiru frequented clubs wearing eccentric handmade costumes. Pyuupiru went through a gender identity disorder, broken heart and castration operation, and then he held a performance at Yokohama Triennale in 2005 as a compilation of his life experience. Pyuupiru was born as male, but he gradually realized that his body does not fit him. He tried to clear that feeling by wearing those eccentric costumes. In a short while, people started to take notice of it as pieces of art, and he started creative activity in the contemporary art world. This documentary film 'PYUUPIRU 2001-2008' follows the vicissitudes of his mind, body, and the art works that he gave birth to. Enormous amount of footage also reveals the relationships with his family, friends and his boyfriend who have always watched him with a warm look, although they had mixed feeling for the reality. (IMDB)
Yes, documentary + artist are good reason to watch. I found it's always more interesting to see the process than the final product. I love the rawness of the movie, how they showed the artist when he broken heart and react to his artworks at that time, his feelings and struggle. Not only showed inspiring artworks but how as a human struggle with his life, not give up but try to push himself even more.
here's one of the review, Midnight Eye
Babies
Cute and beautiful movie!
A documentary about 4 babies around the world, Africa, Mongol, Tokyo and San Fransisco. Personally I like the Mongolian baby story, beautiful landscape, the house is cute and a baby with red cheeks! Baby from Africa also interesting, very different than our everyday life, i guess, very attached to their mother and nature, maybe will be the most courage baby from all. Tokyo, well, they got cute toys, furniture, park, and like usual, lovely color! and apato :-p San Fransisco, well sometimes she did funny things.
Well, it's nice to watch it :-)
Nobody's Fool
My life-time favorite artist, Yoshitomo Nara just held an retrospective exhibition in New York, features more than a hundred of his works. From His early painting until the recent one. I just watched the Artist Talk, and it sums all the reasons why i love Yoshitomo Nara!

Also Juxtapoz Magazine wrote a nice summary of the exhibition, here. I even never know some of his paintings, the early one, very different than now.
I wish i could come and see :-( Anyway, the good news is, they have a competition in Flickr, here
