DOC NYC Shorts: DO NOT SPLIT and FLOWER PUNK

 


DO  NOT SPLIT
A look at the protests in Hong Kong that happened when the Chinese government proposed a law that would allow protesters to be extradited to the mainland.
This is a very good film that works best when allowing the protesters to talk about the situation and their feelings. I'm going to leave it there not because it's bad but because I want to discuss the film in regard to other films on the Hong Kong Protests and I don't think that's fair


FLOWER PUNK
Portrait of Azuma Makoto who uses flowers to create art. 
This is a stunning film not only filled with amazing images, but the film also paints a portrait of an amazing artist who sucks us in and makes us a co conspirator. Even when we know how the pictures will turn out his mind blowing pictures of flowers in space or at the bottom of the sea, we are still gobsmacked watching him and his cre pull them off.
Glorious
