Снимайте только меня / Put the camera on me.

Этот документальный фильм представляет собой снятый четырьмя мальчишками в детстве, в начале 1980-х годов, на домашнюю камеру кинорассказ об их детстве, а теперь показываемый и комментируемый ими самими, их родителями и друзьями. Тогда им было лет по 10-13, и они наслаждались жизнью вовсю - играли, смеялись, бегали по пояс голые, и конечно задавались вопросами о своей сексуальности. В общем, для всех, кому интересны мальчишки, их мысли, желания, кто хочет вспомнить себя таким, каким он был в том возрасте...

1. Before he went on to direct Jawbreaker Sparkler Darren Stein grew up making videos. Along with his friend 'Adam Shell' and the other neighborhood kids these young film makers touched on such adult subjects as jealousy, cruelty, and sexuality.

2. The fact that I did not have Internet tonight was more of a blessing than a curse as I get to dig some of the movies that were laying around my external hard drive . Picked an excellent one – it is called “Put the camera on me” and it is a documentary. A documentary – au that must be boring – but no – because that was not an ordinary documentary, but rather fun and very arty made mixture of short movies shoot by Darren Stain.

When he was little boy his dad brought home a camera and Darren being very artistic and imaginative soon learned how to use it and was obsessed with the idea of making movies – regular one and crazy one starring himself and his friends . About 20 years later Daren combined these movies and together with his original stars – created the movie I just watched.

The best part of this movie was that while watching it I unconsciously started to remember similar situations that have happen to me few years ago– you know playing out with yours friends, having a hell a lot of fun, making cool tricks …etc– so the movie of Daren through not complicated or charged with great ideas or thoughts was quite an experience.

It gave me some ideas – like writing down my memories – making a script and getting few friends to play in it – oh I know that that is not probably going to happen – but the idea is cool anyway – imagining how it will be – I guess I will be able to do the first part and if I do you will be able to see few things at my blog.

But back to the movie – if you can get a hold on it see it – you won`t regret it. I remember talking with a friend about it. He said that the movie was shoot in such a way that it captured the time of 80`s and watching it is warming and cool experience – like flipping the pages of your own yearbook.

Балетные мальчики / Ballettguttene / Ballet Boys. 2014.

 Свежий документальный фильм норвежского режиссёра Кеннета Эльвебакка на необычную для этой суровой северной страны тему, краткое содержание из сети: стать артистом балета - необычный выбор для норвежского подростка, особенно если он - мальчик. На пути к своей мечте Лукас, Тургейр и Сиверт, мальчики из разных семей и с разной мотивацией, наталкиваются на сопротивление с совершенно разных сторон.
В средней школе мальчикам приходится справляться с давлением со стороны родителей и учителей, в то время как они проходят свои первые испытания на международных балетных конкурсах. А чтобы получить профессию самое главное – поступить в Норвежскую школу балета.
Мы видим, как за четыре года мальчики превращаются в юношей, испытывая разочарования, первую любовь, сомнения, одерживая победы, лелея надежды и следуя амбициям. И все это находит выражение в самозабвенном и прекрасном балетном танце.
Ballet Boys takes you through disappointments, victories, forging of friendship, first loves, doubt, faith, growing apart from each other, finding your own way and own ambitions, all mixed with the beautiful expression of ballet.
The film follow three young Norwegian teenagers from Oslo, 14-15 years old in 2012, all attending the same school and loving ballet, with great ambitions. They all tell about their lives, ambitions, everyday life, teacher conversations, parents relations, stage performances, hopes and joys. We meet them right in the age when they really have to decide if they are to really take the step up from being amateurs to go for it to become professionals. We follow them through a year, through competitions as well as in every day struggles with things every teenager might go through.
The documentary is really well made, is very true to the environment portrayed, and the film is building up interest in a perfect way. It helps, of course, that the youngsters are opening up to their inner thoughts; and are charming and interesting to get to know. It's an inside look of the demands, tests, the physiological and psychological test and the training they go through as they all try to become students at a higher level. Impressive film making by Kenneth Elvebakk.
