Lost in Light by Sriram Murali:

Lost in Light, a short film on how light pollution affects the view of the night skies. Shot mostly in California, the movie shows how the view gets progressively better as you move away from the lights. Finding locations to shoot at every level of light pollution was a challenge and getting to the darkest skies with no light pollution was a journey in itself. Here’s why I think we should care more.

The night skies remind us of our place in the Universe. Imagine if we lived under skies full of stars. That reminder we are a tiny part of this cosmos, the awe and a special connection with this remarkable world would make us much better beings – more thoughtful, inquisitive, empathetic, kind and caring. Imagine kids growing up passionate about astronomy looking for answers and how advanced humankind would be, how connected and caring we’d feel with one another, how noble and adventurous we’d be. How compassionate with fellow species on Earth and how one with Nature we’d feel. Imagine a world where happiness of the soul is more beautiful. Ah, I feel so close to inner peace. I can only wonder how my and millions of other lives would have changed.

But in reality, most of us live under heavily light polluted skies and some have never even seen the Milky Way. We take the skies for granted and are rather lost in our busy lives without much care for the view of the stars.

How does light pollution affect the night skies and quite possibly our lives?

This Is a Generic Presidential Campaign Ad, by Dissolve by Dissolve:

Created entirely with stock footage from Dissolve, This Is a Generic Presidential Campaign Ad reunites the team behind This Is a Generic Brand Video.

As the 2016 presidential election cycle has progressed, dozens of candidates have released their campaign ads. And though there are a few differences from the left wing to the right, they have a lot in common. In fact, these predictable, formulaic approaches to video editing have drawn comparisons to our own all-purpose corporate promo, This Is a Generic Brand Video, written by Kendra Eash: https://www.dissolve.com/generic.

We didn’t think it fair that media commentators had to reference our corporate video — why not give them an actual generic campaign ad? So we asked Kendra to provide her wry, absurdist take on presidential promotion. The result is a blatantly pandering, verbally vacuous piece of political parody.

Katz’s Deli Shipped To Your Door Via Goldbely! by goldbely:

On New York City’s Lower East Side, where Jewish pushcart peddlers once hawked street food, is the deli to end all delis. This venerable “Temple of Pastrami and Corned Beef Goodness,” founded in 1888, is a timeless, unassailable living-history museum. During World War II, the three sons of the owners were all serving their country in the armed forces, and the family tradition of sending food to their sons became sealed as the company slogan “Send A Salami To Your Boy In The Army”.

Age of the Farmer by Spencer MacDonald:

“65 is the average age of farmers, and there are not enough young farmers to replace them. How did we get here?”**

In the summer of 2015, Eva Verbeeck asked me to join her on a trip throughout the Pacific Northwest to produce a short film on young farmers, that would accompany her photo story for a variety of publications. Having spent much time WWOOFing on organic farms, I knew the importance of providing a voice for this underrepresented population. So we loaded our iPods with old bluegrass music and set off in a 1990 Nissan truck, heading from Portland to British Columbia. We offered our labor in exchange for room and board at the farms that we made it to.

This film is an attempt to express some of the thoughts and feelings of the young farmers that we stayed with. Hopefully a little bit of justice was done for all the young farmers out there.

Infinite gratitude to all of the farms that hosted us this summer and kept us filled with organic produce and warmth:

• Earth Candy Farm (facebook.com/earthcandyfarms)
• Plenty Wild Farms (www.plentywild.ca)
• Skyberry Farm (www.skyberryfarm.com)
• Hoe Down CSA at Tulaberry Farm (www.hoedowncsa.wordpress.com)
• Yummy Yards (www.yummyyards.ca)
• Growing Veterans (www.growingveterans.org)
• Beacon Food Forest (www.beaconfoodforest.org)

• Claire Jutras (Earth Candy Farm)

Stealing Sheep – Apparition by Dougal Wilson:

Heidi Grant Halvorson: Why No One Understands You and What To Do About It by 99U:

On the release of her latest book, No One Understands You and What To Do About It, Halvorson uncovers the surprising truth of why collaboration can sometimes be so difficult. The crux: Our intentions aren’t always clear to other people, even if we think they are. Fortunately, there are three lenses of perception we can utilize to shape how others see us.
