Salton Sea Beach

The Butterfly Circus

At the height of the Great Depression, the showman of a renowned circus leads his troupe through the devastated American landscape, lifting the spirits of audiences along the way. During their travels they discover, Will, a man without limbs who lives out his life in a sordid carnival sideshow, far below his aspirations of the grandeur of the great circuses. Having only known a life of limitation and discouragement, Will is struck by an intriguing encounter with the showman that leaves him with a drive to hope against everything he has ever believed.

Winner of the Doorpost Film Project, this short film by Joshua Weigel will be expanded into a feature length film.

Watch it. (Flash Video)

Gorgeous cinematography that hints at social change. Somewhere between heaven, hell & quiet meditation.

The Presets – If I Know You

Filled with some incredibly unique and original imagery. Lovely editing. For whatever reason, made me think of Claire Denis’ Beau Travail.

It’s Your Ride from Cinecycle.
