Apple released the first big spot for the Apple Watch Series 2. Like the iPhone ads, the :60 below (made in-house by Apple) is expertly crafted, with all sorts of lovely visual set pieces. And it's also practically minded, pushing the device's new built-in GPS and water resistance up to 50 meters.

Rocket Wars - A war to keep the peace. In the small village of Vrontados on the Greek island of Chios, there is unrest. For over a century, parishioners of two Greek Orthodox churches have engaged in a battle on Holy Saturday, firing more than 100,000 homemade rockets at each other’s churches once the sun goes down.

This film is a reflection of a sense of devotion that feels lost in the modern world. Seeing people with so much passion for the craft and tradition of rocket-making was invigorating to witness while filming. The idea of giving your heart and soul over to something that you love is at the core of the story. We’re all after something we can give our lives to, something that can help create deeper connections with each other. It’s strange to think that this tradition can do it – but that’s a reality for many in Vrontados. They live and breathe rockets, and that’s what brings them together, especially during their Easter holiday.

Its origin is unclear. One theory holds that churches on the island faked a civil war during the Turkish occupation so they could celebrate Easter without being plagued by war. Accordingly the ruse worked, as the Turks kept a safe distance, allowing the villagers to attend Easter Mass.

KANYE AT OXFORD - Kanye West spoke to the critically acclaimed and award-winning Oxford Guild Society, Oxford's, the UK's and Europe's largest and oldest professional society, dating back to 1897, on Monday 2nd March 2015 at 3pm. This was an unprecedented, history making opportunity to hear from and ask questions of such a high profile figure and was a truly exciting event and a momentous occasion at the historic Oxford University Museum of Natural History which was established in 1850.

CAMPARI - In this set of films, a woman is faced with a series of puzzling situations - each time her Campari drink is upside down. Luckily she has two well-dressed chaps armed with chisels, blocks of ice and a hairdryer standing by with a suitable cool solution.It all feels rather fresh and ownable. Distinctive and simple enough to be hijacked into a meme? I'm sure they hope so. Well done them.

They look with curiosity and tenderness on their children's confused lives, Mick's enthusiastic young writers, and the other hotel guests. While Mick scrambles to finish the screenplay for what he imagines will be his last important film, Fred has no intention of resuming his musical career. But someone wants at all costs to hear him conduct again.

This film sees the young Scot perform a number of world’s first tricks, in an ever-changing environment that isn’t quite what it seems leading to a ground-breaking BMX film.
