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:

Most bags today look like they were produced by bored machines in a dimly lit factory. You can walk into any mall and find rows of identical leather (or “leather-like”) things, all claiming to express individuality. Ironically, though, they all look exactly the same. Then there’s Abby Verano . Her bags are not mere accessories; they’re declarations. Each one is hand-painted, touched by an actual human being with an imagination. Abby doesn’t just sell you something to put your wallet and smartphone in; she sells you a story, a vision, a little revolt against the tyranny of sameness. Her tools are simple — brushes, acrylic paint, bags made from pandan leaves, and creativity. No duplicates. No clones. Just one-of-a-kind art pieces you can carry.

Beyond the Mug

Coffee is more than a drink. It’s a lifestyle, a coping mechanism. And for some, it’s a medium. Yes, a painting medium. While most of us use it to fuel our questionable decisions, a select group of people are using it to make art. Real art. Painting with coffee isn’t new, apparently. It’s been around for centuries, which is about how long it feels when you’re waiting for a barista to spell your name right. But recently, coffee painting has staged a comeback. Artists, perhaps tired of the tyranny of acrylics and oil paints, or just broke, have rediscovered its charm. Take Nelsie Geografo , for instance. While I’m struggling to make my latte art look less like a disoriented ghost, she’s out there creating masterpieces with instant coffee. She doesn’t need fancy tubes of color or exotic pigments. Just coffee, water, and a bit of imagination. And the best part? The smell. While traditional painters suffer through the fumes of turpentine, Nelsie’s studio smells like a café that actually spe...
