Yōsuke Yamashita: Burning Piano (2008)
Directed by Kiyoshi Awazu
Japanese jazz pianist Yōsuke Yamashita revisits his 1973 recital on a burning piano (famously made into a short by director Kiyoshi Awazu) with a repeat performance on a beach in Shika-machi, Japan.
Sampha’s Sunlight
Process (dir. Kahlil Joseph)
Sampha’s cerebral Process has always had an aura of warmth, whether it’s a familial closeness through “(No One Knows Me) Like the Piano” or the more literal “Plastic 100°C.” His smooth voice lends itself to imageries of sunsets and beaches, families and reunions. So it’s not surprising to find Kahlil Joseph use these ideas in his video, also titled Process. Beautiful crane shots of seagulls over a beach are intercut with Sampha performing parts of the album. (Minor nitpick: using abbreviated portions of Sampha’s vocals feel counterproductive to the cohesive, immersive experience of Process.) Joseph uses “Like the Piano” as an anchor for the film, and by extension, Sampha’s appreciation for his late mother become the bedrock for this non-narrative. There are scenes of childhood, marriage, and love; they adhere less to Sampha’s life, and more to his emotions.
But Joseph also cuts into something deeper. His handle of color allows for striking, iconic shots--the ones that have won him trust with the likes of Flying Lotus and Beyonce. They’re confident in its display of black beauty, and in its harmony with nature. Just as he’s able to pinpoint the palate that suits Sampha’s voice, he weaves in these dark, cool, and structured scenes--something like Awaken, My Love’s color scheme. In an empty pool, people assemble and dance to strict routines. Another scene finds a lone, mysterious woman that’s consumed in blue, while surrounded by greenery. These too, are part of Process. The uncertainties and doubts, the energy that inspires questions of “What Shouldn’t I Be?”
The warm and the cool, they’re not conflicts, but rather compliments. It’s threaded together by the well-worn, but still effective, theme of nostalgic memories with family. To end where you began, that’s the process.

The Weight of Death
A dead body is always heavier than expected. This was the realization that kicked off Nepalese director Deepak Rauniyar’s breakout hit, White Sun (2016). After learning about the death of his father, Chandra (Dayahang Rai) must travel back to his old mountain village to bring his father’s body down to the river where he can be cremated.

Under the ‘Tokyo Twilight’
Yasujiro Ozu is no stranger to tales of family strife. He’s spent much of his thirtysome-year career documenting marital strain and generational struggle. Yet, Tokyo Twilight feels different. It possesses a dark streak that festers and lingers in ways that Ozu’s other works, such as the Noriko trilogy--which includes the famously melancholic Tokyo Story, never did. His stories often tackled powerlessness in the face of societal norms and they often end in gloomy finalities, where redemption is only found in the character’s understanding of the human condition. But what if that point isn’t even reached?
Appliance Alphabet
For the ever popular 36 days of type project, Vinicius Araújo designed an alphabet of 3D letterforms representing a variety branded electronic devices.
Each represents a brand’s namesake product and is modelled around Helvetica.
‘A’ for Apple becomes the Apple Classic, ‘B’ for Beats is transforms into padded headphones, an jumping along, ‘S’ for Sony, is modelled to represent its iconic `walkman.
Vinicius extended the project past ‘Z’ (Zenith Electronics) to include numbers and some animations. Take a look at the complete set on Behance.

More Money, More Problems
The difference between a millionaire and a billionaire is often hard to pinpoint, but parsing the difference three zeroes makes is significant--Oil Tycoon, and richest man at the time, J. Paul Getty (Christopher Plummer) is no mere Jordan Belfort-type.
