Toronto is home to many film festivals. While some feature artful, poignant films and narratives, others curate a selection of absurd b films. The Toronto After Dark Film Festival falls into the latter category, showcasing horror, sci-fi, and cult cinema. The annual festival has a one week run, and while many of the films featured in their lineup scream ‘terrible movie soon to have not-so-ironic cult following’, the festival has screened some pretty stellar films in the past. For example, a couple of years ago they screened Let the Right One In, the mind blowing, incredibly subtle Sweedish vampire movie (that is now being made for American audiences) which put Twilight to shame (as any good vampire narrative should).While I’m sure this year’s lineup at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival will follow this tradition of featuring great independent films, the real fun of the TADFF lies in their selection of films that leave you completely dumbstruck by their absurdity.

Admittedly, I have a soft spot for terrible, b grade horror and cult films. continue reading…

Ok Go

“The fastest we go is 172,800x, compressing 24 hours of real time into a blazing 1/2 second. The slowest is 1/32x speed, stretching a mere 1/2 second of real time into a whopping 16 seconds. This gives us a fastest to slowest ratio of 5.5 million. If you like averages, the average speed up factor of the band dancing is 270x. In total we shot 18 hours of the band dancing and 192 hours of LA skyline timelapse – over a million frames of video – and compressed it all down to 4 minutes and 30 seconds! Oh and don’t forget, it’s one continuous camera shot.” (Via Gizmodo)
