Banksy Releases DISMALAND Trailer and 24 Short Film Selections

View fullsize

Last week we learned that the popular street artist Banksy had set up a dreary parody of Disneyland that he called Dismaland. This is a “bemusement park” that is being billed as "the UK's most disappointing new visitor attraction." The artist released a trailer for the park that you can watch below.

Dismaland features several pieces by a slew of artists, and the event also features an hourlong program of 24 short films by several filmmakers. You can watch all of those shorts below the Dismaland trailer. I've watched many of these shorts in the past and have even posted a few of them on the site already. Make sure to check them all out when you get a chance.

The exhibit is located at the Tropicana in the North Somerset, England-based resort town of Weston-super-Mare, and the show features artwork from several different artists. The exhibit will also include live music and comedy events every Friday night to entertain the visitors.

"Are you looking for an alternative to the sugar-coated tedium of the average family day out? Or just somewhere a lot cheaper? Then this is the place for you. Bring the whole family to come and enjoy the latest addition to our chronic leisure surplus…"

Dismaland will open to the public on Saturday, August 22nd, 2015 and run until September 27th, from 11am to 11pm. For more information make sure to visit the official website. You can watch the short films below.

Animated on location at a beach, in snow, and underwater, this stop-motion short details a transoceanic conversation between two characters via objects in a bottle. Written, directed, animated, edited, and sound by Kirsten Lepore

"In 1903, Olivia Wright was the first to pilot the great grasshoppers of North America." While taking my kids to the playground, I shot live-action footage of a grasshopper, using my iPhone. This is one of many short animated clips I've made for fun. I might continue this particular clip as an Insect Aviation series... who knows :) It was my first project using TV Paint animation software. (No rotoscoping used. Where's the fun in that?!)

I think it was in the time of spring 2012, when I came across David Shiyang Liu's lovely piece of work about Ira Glass. It was the most inspiring and motivating video I had ever seen in my life. I watched it over and over again, listened to Ira Glass' voice, and told myself, that I am not the only person who is constantly disappointed about the gap between one's taste and one's skills. Later in 2012, I decided to do my own filmed version of Ira's interview - using my own language to tell his message. It took me about a year from concept to upload. I made it for myself and for anybody who is in doubt about his/her creative career. I also think that Ira Glass' message isn't only limited to the creative industry. It can be applied to everyone who starts out in a new environment and is willing to improve. THANK YOU Ira Glass, whom I've never met in real life, but who had such a big influence on my development. Thank you for telling beginners what nobody else does. David Shiyang Liu for the video that inspired me to start the project. You all should watch his awesome kineticTypo-version here: http://vimeo.com/24715531 The people from current.tv who originally recorded the interview with Ira Glass. See the relevant part here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BI23U7U2aUY The people from Magic Lantern who gave DSLR videography a new dimension (I chose this project to be a test run with the RAW plugin)! Steven Sasseville for painting the "taste" painting for me. Pedro Sousa for his advice and working his ass off at the "creative work" chalkboard. Wolfgang Kraus for letting me borrow his sound equipment. Kai Löhnert for working out on his birthday in the "fight" take. Wolfgang Hendrik Schnabel for giving me the museum-like atmosphere and his silhouette in the painting takes. Hermiyas Ötztürk for his hairy "good enough" hand. Orange Hive Studio for light equipment and location. Mima and Heinz Sax-Schmitz for the location of the "ambitions" take and finding me the "finish 1 story" typewriter. Joyce Chen (https://vimeo.com/clownmori), Soufiane Mabrouki (http://vimeo.com/user21466567), Damien Tsenkoff (https://www.behance.net/damtsnkff), Nikita Samutin (www.baselinedesign.ru) and Andrej Mikula (http://amara.org/en/profiles/profile/65015/) for taking the time and patience to create Chinese, Arabic, French, Russian and Slovak subtitles and dissolving language barriers to make even more people understand Ira's words. A SPECIAL THANK YOU Solveig Gold for being the most patient and supporting person in my life. She appears in a lot of scenes in this video. Jutta and Uwe Sax for several pieces of equipment and their support.

I attempted to create a person in order to emulate the aging process. The idea was that something is happening but you can't see it but you can feel it, like aging itself.

An experiment with time remap. In fact just changed the cam : it was filmed with a Canon 7D at 60fps, making it really more smooth ! it was recorded as a funny pause while working on the performance "Cinematique" (http://www.vimeo.com/amcb/cinematique)... but this short dance is actually not in the show. You can try it in real time in an exhibition called XYZT (http://vimeo.com/amcb/xyzt). Just to explain : we have not invented this effect, we have just developed it to work on GPU at 60fps as a Quartz Composer plug in, it is based on sculpting of a 3D texture. It's made with a custom Quartz Composer plug-in that transform a video stream in a 3D texture. It can run at 60fps live at lower resolution (512x512) AFAIK the effect was discovered accidentally by a photograph called Jacques Henri Lartigues at the beginning of the 20th century (in 1912 to be precise) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Henri_Lartigue, with this famous photo : bokeh.fr/blog/photographes/la-voiture-deformee-de-jacques-henri-lartigue/ After it's just technical evolutions : photography->video->realtime video The funny part is that rolling shutter of many camera is not a feature, it's a pretty annoying effect...
