Danfung Dennis’ documentary Hell and Back Again, will be getting a theatrical release this fall. This 1080p trailer is stunning. Shot on a Canon 5D, largely on a Glidecam. Watch it full screen in HD!

From his embed with US Marines Echo Company in Afghanistan, photojournalist and filmmaker Danfung Dennis reveals the devastating impact a Taliban machine-gun bullet has on the life of 25-year-old Sergeant Nathan Harris. The film seamlessly transitions from stunning war reportage to an intimate, visceral portrait of one man’s personal struggle at home in North Carolina, where Harris confronts the physical and emotional difficulties of re-adjusting to civilian life with the love and support of his wife, Ashley. Masterfully contrasting the intensity of the frontline with the unsettling normalcy of home, HELL AND BACK AGAIN lays bare the true cost of war.

The Camera that Changed the World on BBC iPlayer.

The Eclair NPR was the first portable 16mm silent reflex camera with coaxial magazine design, 1963-1985. It was the HDSLR or it’s day. It mobilised documentary filmmaking and changed what could be seen on film.

(My apologies if this is not available in your part of the world. Global communications and regional broadcasting are not a good mix. It will take time, but eventually, one decade, perhaps during your grandchildren’s lives, broadcasters will sort out their copyright problems and publish globally. Maybe. Eventually. If they are still in business. On behalf of UK taxpayers, I think we can all agree if you want to watch programs funded with our tax dollars, it’s no skin off our asses. We don’t lose anything. It’s just a problem with copyright and licensing fees. Sorry. (It’s embarassing.)

How to build a hand washing station out of a jerry can, string, sticks, matches, a candle, soap, a pickaxe, and gravel - and save an estimated 500 children’s lives a day in India.

I particularly like the design work. Making things out of stuff that happens to be lying around is fun - and it’s a fundamental principle of art.

“We split the atom!”
“Yes, but can you do it with gaffer tape and baling wire?”
