PJ Harvey: A Dog Called Money (2019) @ Beat Film Festival

Шеймус Мерфи (Seamus Murphy), Ирландия, Великобритания, 90 мин

 

🔜 11.10.2019 Петербург 📼 Аврора 21:30

 

«Пи Джей Харви: A Dog Called Money» (Seamus Murphy, 2019)

 

Автором является ирландский режиссёр и фотограф Шеймус Мёрфи, Полли здесь полновесный соавтор. Фильм снимали во время путешествия по миру и он смонтирован так, что кадры из США и Британии чередуются кадрами из Афганистана и Косово, красной нитью сквозь ленту проходит разоблачение глобалистского лицемерия.

 

Когда они прибывют в белый град на холме Вашингтон, через который протекает местная Нева (Анакостия), гуляют по местным гетто и выясняют попутно, что господа из 'цветущего сада' в 'белых пальто' {на том берегу} специально не строили нормальный мост из гетто-сектора (Джойнт Бейс, Анакостия), чтобы н-маргиналы и прочие, не мельтешили в центре перед уважаемыми людьми из Администрации. В этих вашингтонских гетто реж был избит и ограблен, но через несколько месяцев он туда вернулся и доделал эту часть фильма, кроме того, он не побоялся пошляться с камерой и по тёмным закоулкам Кабула!

 

У фильма 4 локации: студия в Англии, где Полли пишет альбом под впечатлением от увиденного, Афганистан, Косово и дикие пригороды Вашингтона, этот фильм-манифест разумеется был проигнорирован со стороны гламурной мейнстрим тусовкой.

 

Смотрел его на beatfilm в СПб и был ошарашен, мне казалось что PJ Harvey политически относительно нейтральный человек, да и фильм так-то про музыку (но не совсем), но он весь-весь пронизан анти-империализмом, и тех кто бесконечно всё поджигает по миру (можно даже сказать, что его острие направлено на глобалистскую неоколониальную администрацию в Капитолии, да-да).

 

Отличная работа 9/10, рекомендую посмотреть, отметил фильм в легендарном топе:

PJ Harvey мне нравится и у меня есть почти все её альбомы, ещё интересно, что впервые я её увидел не где-то там, а прямо в Мюзик-холле СПб (7 июня 2008), где она даже сыграла на гуслях! (на разогреве была классная группа Autolux, и я прошёл по вписке), потом она мне попадалась и в Барсе и в Париже:

Messier 42, the Great Orion Nebula and NGC 1977, the Running Man Nebula. They are reflection nebulas locted in Orion constellation. You can see the Orion Nebula with naked eye, but, with a smaller telescope or with a binocular, you can see the Running Man Nebula too. M42 is about 1270 lightyears far away from Earth. Orion constellation is visible in Winter days.

Here's some more winter star clusters. This one consists of both M35, which is the main cluster in the center, and NGC 2158, which is the really small and dim cluster towards the bottom right. I'll be attempting to image all 110 objects from the Messier catalog this year. A lot of them are open clusters. :)

My new 'best shot' of the Andromeda Galaxy, Messier 31, the largest galaxy in the Local Group. Also shown are its brightest companion galaxies, the dwarf elliptical galaxy Messier 110 above it, and Messier 32, the largest fuzzball dwarf galaxy at 4 o-clock from Messier 31's center. This image was assembled from four hours of 2-minute exposures captured on September 20th, 2020. (Messier 31 has 10 known dwarf satellite galaxies, our Milky Way galaxy has 23 of them since they are much closer to us therefore easier to find and observe.)

This image of NGC2359 Thor’s Helmet Nebula was captured in narrowbands at Fongky Observatory on 06-02-2021 and 07-02-2021. The false color image was produced by assigning the ionized hydrogen H-α (Ha) data to the red channel, doubly ionized oxygen (OIII) to the green channel, and ionized hydrogen H-β (Hb) to the blue channel. In normal broadband RGB, the NGC2359 is mainly in red and blue.

The progenitor star that ionizing the surrounding gases is a Wolf–Rayet (WR) star WR 7 or HD 56926. WR stars are at their late stage of stellar evolution, fusing helium instead of hydrogen in their cores, and exhausted all their remaining hydrogen at their shells. In NGC2359 Thor’s Helmet Nebula, strong stellar wind pushes ejected materials away from the star at the speed of ∼15 to 30 km/s. The expanding materials shocked molecular clouds nearby to form a bubble around the progenitor star. The same mechanism can be seen in other objects such as the NGC7635 Bubble Nebula (www.flickr.com/photos/fongky/48685888636/in/album-7215766...). Instead, the bubble around WR star is not dominated by hydrogen. This kind of nebula is also known as Wolf-Rayet nebula.

The NGC2359 Thor’s Helmet Nebula is about 3.5 to 6.9 kiloparsec from Earth. The size of the bubble is estimated to be 70×37 parsec.

Western Veil Nebula (Caldwell 34), 06/25/2020

 

This object is part of a super nova remnant from a star that was 20 times more massive than the sun. When that star blew up some 10,000 to 20,000 years ago, it left behind ionized gas and dust that has expanded to cover an area of the sky roughly 6 times the diameter of the Moon. This picture is only one small part of that explosion.

 

This night was kind of a last-minute decision. I looked outside and saw clear skies so I quickly setup the gear. It was my first night using some new toys, a new light pollution filter and an Asiair Pro computer. The new equipment worked great but I did have a few issues. I had my gain set to 200 for some reason and the polar alignment was crap. But I think I salvaged the data and the image turned out pretty good.

James Hamilton - Uncropped (2023) / Без фильтров

 

beatfilmfestival.ru/movies/uncropped

 

в Ленфильме и не только очередное суперкино 🔥 о жизни нью-йоркского (и не только) фотографа Джеймса Хэмилтона, удивительный человек-легенда, Forrest Gump наших дней можно сказать

 

мне очень понравилось, узнавал многие моменты и персонажей (упоминается очень много артистов и музыкантов), обязательно пересмотрю (и там очень высокая плотность информации, все люди если и говорят, то по делу, хотя много и обалденных атмосферных кадров), я видел его фотки сто раз, но как-то не акцентировал что их автор - James Hamilton, очень скромный дядя (как я практически), среди многих его фанатов и режиссёр Уэс Андерсон (Королевство полной луны, 2012) он и спродюсировал этот фильм

 

рекомендую посмотреть!

www.imdb.com/title/tt29483775

 

кстати, вся эта атмосфера лампового и не очень Нью-Йорка неуловима напомнила работы другого талантливого автора (Jem Cohen), который однажды приехал в СПб чтобы представить свои работы на фесте «Послание к человеку» (2018), они даже частично пересекаются по героям своих работ (в первую очередь Patti Smith) запомнился его микрошедевр Long for the City (Patti Smith in New York) (Super 8 film, 10 min., 2008) Directed by Jem Cohen, писал про этот фест тоже:

Uncropped Light: The Living Spiral of the Triangulum

 

Seen nearly 2.7 million light-years away in the constellation Triangulum, the Triangulum Galaxy (M33) is the third-largest member of our Local Group, following the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way. Unlike its larger companions, M33 lacks a prominent central bulge, instead displaying loosely wound spiral arms rich with glowing H II regions and active star formation. Among these stellar nurseries lies NGC 604, one of the most luminous star-forming regions in the Local Group.

Captured at Desert Bloom Observatory using an EdgeHD 8-inch telescope with a 0.7× Celestron reducer, this image remains intentionally uncropped. Preserving the full frame reveals the galaxy’s natural scale and delicate outer arms, emphasizing its structure within the surrounding field of space rather than isolating it from context.

Photons recorded here began their journey before human civilization emerged. Their successful arrival depends not only on cosmic distance, but on terrestrial darkness. Light pollution can easily erase faint galactic details, washing away the subtle spiral extensions and star-forming knots that define M33’s character.

Protecting dark skies safeguards both scientific discovery and humanity’s connection to the wider universe. In preserving the night, we preserve the stories written in ancient light.

Towering columns of interstellar gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula, where new stars are being born. The pillars stretch across light-years of space, illuminated by the radiation from nearby hot young stars, creating a stunning display of cosmic sculpture in deep space.

Without a startracker, I decided to take my shot of shooting the Andromeda Galaxy with my telephoto lens with a very short exposure. Although it still picked up the trailing, can still see the massive galaxy and its two dwarf elliptical galaxies M32 and M110.

The grand-design spiral galaxy Messier 101, 21,000,000 light years from Earth.
