Reflecting on the memories of the golden age of Hollywood, it gives the feeling that there is no such place like a movie theater to celebrate the birth of film from an artist. "The greatest emotion I have ever had in my life took place in the dark" and not in front of a smartphone or television. I have decided to spotlight the grandiose movie palaces to the independent movie houses. This is Cinema.
Sure the looming Earth in the background of Gravity was CGI, and of course the tiger in Life of Pi, but there is so much these days that exists purely through the magic of CGI.

From Doug Urquhart and Paul Zizka, makers of the short film “Mountains in Motion”:
"Hours and even months of change lapses in a matter of seconds, providing the viewer with a rare insight into the ever-changing nature of the landscape. Weaving throughout the film are reflections of an early mountaineer, who is deeply moved by his own encounter with the mountains and the revelations of explorers who have come before him. “What is this power that lures me upwards, into the unknown,” he wonders, “that pulls me deeper, despite snow, wind and exhaustion?”
Made on a shoestring budget and with entirely volunteer hours, the film brought together artists from two vastly different parts of North America – Banff, Alberta, and Atlanta, Georgia. Strangers at the start, the film team developed strong friendships over the course of production and were united by their common goal of capturing the beauty and essence of a place that inspires them every day.
This 100% human-powered film combines advanced time-lapse photography with an original story and musical score to bring the landscape center-stage and offers a thrilling new perspective that re-establishes the Canadian Rockies among the finest mountains in the world."

We've featured kogonada's supercuts before: Kubrick's One Point Perspective and the Sounds of Aronovsky.
From kogonada:
"The films of Ozu are filled with people walking through alleys and hallways: the in-between spaces of modern life. This is where Ozu resides. In the transitory. It’s what he values as a filmmaker. Alleys are not an opportunity for suspense but for passage.
*Passageways is made up of Ozu’s final six films: Equinox Flower (Higanbana), Good Morning (Ohayo), Floating Weeds (Ukigusa), Late Autumn (Akibiyori), The End of Summer (Kohayagawa-ke no aki), and An Autumn Afternoon (Sanma no aji)"

Director and cinematographer Ron Ficke (Koyaanisqatsi, Baraka) has been hard at work on Samsara for 5 years. The entire film is shot in stunning 70mm. It is a film that relies completely on its visual impact and cinematographic juxtaposition, as there isn't any dialogue.

"In Ascendance, nature photographer Henry Jun Wah Lee documents the Perseid meteor shower at its peak in August, before a backdrop of Joshua Tree National Park and the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest. It's worth watching the video full screen to appreciate the crisp cinematography and magical details -- rainbows, stars, and more. "

Vimeo user, Kogonada, who also made Tarantino: From Below and Wes Anderson: From Below, raises the supercut to be a visual essay, a way of reasoning and processing using comparison and visual analysis. And such a cool set of shots he's collected here from the oeuvre of Stanley Kubrick.
Flavorwire and Flavorpill have made this little video essay:
Some of my favorites include Wong Kar-Wei's In the Mood For Love, The Tree of Life (cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki) and Hitchcock's Vertigo.

Putting stunning sequences near each other creates a visual narrative, an essay that uses vision, motion, color and light as its sentences, nouns, verbs and phrases. The trailer (below) has be pretty excited for the theatrical release.
Samsara is the Sanskrit word for "continuous flow" but often refers to the never ending cycle of life-death-rebirth, physical and figurative, so often thought through in Hinduism and Buddhism.
