God Grew Tired of Us (via Kottke)

The documentary is named after a quote from John Dau, one of the Lost Boys of Sudan. A quote from his memoir: “I have witnessed my share of death and despair. I have seen the hyenas come at dusk to feed on the bodies of my friends. I have been so hungry and thirsty in the dusty plains of Africa that I consumed things I would rather forget. I have crossed a crocodile-infested river while being shelled and shot at. I have walked until I thought I could walk no more. I have wondered, more times than I can count, if my friends or I would live to see a new day. Those were the times I thought God had grown tired of us.”

Early Bird Special: Alex Lee pays homage to his hometown of Tokyo with a tribute video that combines super slo-mo, stop motion, and time lapse.

I didn’t really want to watch this, but it was so trippy that I couldn’t tear away. I love the slow-motion—really emphasizes and makes you notice a lot of details in the ordinary. 

I want to watch this. 

Using music from “The Weeknd” is ftw. I think it matches well with the film’s seemingly dark theme.

Rick Mereki’s short films have been gaining popularity on the internet. Specifically, the film “Move” (click to view) has received 15,000+ Likes. That short is great—probably a favorite of mine in showing the aesthetic beauty of traveling. But I came across “Learn” and I think both that theme and film make traveling so amazing. 

P.S. Andrew Lees (the guy in those films) is so cute. If I ever get married, I would like to travel and make shorts like these with the husband :)

NYU just got cooler
