Take the 'Ambiancé' challenge

Most people will tell you that three hours is too long for a movie. But if you're free for the next seven hours and you're up for a challenge, try watching this grueling trailer for the longest film ever made. It's actually a 'teaser', because in 2018 the director will release a full-length trailer of 72 hours.

Ambiancé, an experimental film by Anders Weberg, will premiere in 2020 and will run for 720 hours non-stop. That's right, a movie with a running time of 30 straight days — and you thought Hele Sa Hiwagang Hapis felt long? The film's set in Sweden and features two performance artists on a beach. It's described on IMDb as a documentary where "space and time is intertwined into a surreal dream-like journey beyond places and is an abstract nonlinear narrative summary of Weberg's time spent with the moving image." I don't know what that means but it sounds really boring.

So without further ado, here's the 7-hour 20-minute trailer for Ambiancé:

In Memory of Laura

So sad this morning to hear of the unexpected death of Laura, an old fiend and former dentist. I will always remember her bizarre taste in music, her dark humor, and her unwavering belief that a person’s worth is tied to their oral care routine. Last year, we wanted to meet and work together again on something and I am very, very sorry that will never happen. I've mentioned her in a 2015 blog post , and today I will rerun the tale... Not So Happy Ending Not so long ago, I went for a drink in a pub in Ortigas. I had second thoughts about entering the establishment when I noticed there were so many people inside. There were men with ironic beard and pretentious hairstyles dressed in rolled up chinos and check shirts; women in vintage sundresses, skinny jeans, and acid wash denim cutoff shorts; actors and models trying to look hip; and a bunch of call center agents who wanted to get drunk before they start their graveyard shifts. There was this famous guitarist at one table, with sho...

Finding Art That Speaks To You

The internet is a vast ocean, and every now and then, you stumble upon something that makes you stop in your tracks. Recently, I was scrolling through my Instagram when I discovered Laurent Proux 's art. I surfed for what felt like hours, and thanked the IG algorithm for its foresight. It's rare to find an artist who can evoke such a strong feeling with their creations, and I instantly became a fan. The French artist's paintings often feature opposing elements—light and shadow, nature and industry, pleasure and violence, the real and the surreal. His figures are often fragmented, distorted, or contorted, blurring the lines between the human form and the landscapes they inhabit. Think of a vivid dream where everything is a little off-kilter, quite nightmarish, but in the most charming way possible. Proux's work is a reminder that art isn't just something to be observed in a museum or gallery. It's a powerful form of communication, a way for artists to share their...
