The Pixel Painter

Microsoft has announced that it will discontinue its infamous drawing app MS Paint. Made me think of this wonderful video profile of a retired graphic artist who uses MS Paint to create little masterpieces.

Ten Meter Tower

All it takes is a small step – gravity will take care of the rest. And yet, and yet. This 16-minute documentary from Sweden brilliantly captures people struggling with themselves as they stand atop the ten meter tower, ready to jump into the water. Or maybe not. Or maybe yes. Or maybe not.

Astronaut

YouTube is full of videos that nobody is watching. Until now. Hit play and enjoy the wonders of serendipity.

Painting in the Dark

A beautiful video essay on «The Struggle for Art in A World Obsessed with Popularity». It’s basically Van Gogh telling you to keep doing what you’re doing, even if nobody is taking notice.

From Weekly Filet #-1, in January 2016.

This documentary is a mere three minutes long – enough to make a lasting impression. (It’s part of a series of 10 short documentaries from New Zealand, the others are worth watching, too).
