https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyitrLKUUJI

Pedal directed by Peter Sutherland (2001)



A cult documentary that dives into the high-energy, underground world of New York City bike messengers. The film offers a raw and unfiltered glimpse into the intense and chaotic lives of downtown cyclists, who navigate the city’s streets with remarkable focus and fearless determination to complete their deliveries.



Using visceral, on the ground footage, Pedal immerses viewers in the adrenaline rush of dodging traffic, avoiding accidents, and tackling the unpredictable challenges of life as a bike messenger. Central to the film is the alleycat scene, a thrilling portrayal of unsanctioned street races that reflect the speed, skill, and improvisation these riders bring to their work.



These races capture the competitive and communal spirit of the messenger subculture, blending athleticism, rebellion, and artistry in a way that underscores the unique vibrancy of their world.



Beyond the action, the documentary highlights the personality within the community, exploring the messengers’ camaraderie, resilience, and what motivates them to embrace such a risky, high stakes profession.


Sutherland brings authenticity and depth to the film, providing a nuanced portrayal of this distinctive urban subculture. As a former bike messenger his experience is unique, you understand the physical demand being a messenger requires,



Celebrated for its dynamic cinematography and fast-paced editing, Pedal has become an iconic piece for enthusiasts of cycling, and countercultural stories. It remains a powerful testament to those who thrive on the edge, capturing both the chaos and the beauty of life on two wheels.

Director: Ralph Bakshi





Animated short film by legendary controversial animator Ralph Bakshi who is known for his animated projects such as the 1960s Terrytoons, Fritz the Cat, Coonskin, American Pop, Cool World, Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures and his guest appearance on Ren & Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon. The Cigarette and the Weed served as Bakshi's attempt to have a cartoon shown before a motion picture in movie theaters.

The short is about three minutes long and tells the story of a weed growing on a street corner and a discarded cigarette butt that rolls up to the weed. The two converse before the cigarette rolls into a puddle and is extinguished.[1]

Availability
The short has been screened at multiple film festivals[2], and a brief, audioless clip of it was featured in the 1982 film Halloween III: Season of the Witch.[3] On February 25, 2025, Bakshi himself released the entire short on his Twitter.

Director: David Lynch



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p02WKbar-qg

The film tells the story of a heartbroken woman (played by Laura Dern) who floats over an industrial wasteland and sings ballads of love after her boyfriend (Nicolas Cage) leaves her. Made before the unprecedented success of his cult-classic TV show Twin Peaks, it is the footage from an original play which was presented at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in 1989. The experimental work is named after a series of complex mosaics in geometric shapes designed by Lynch. He made them while he was studying at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and called them Industrial Symphonies.

Often seen as a spiritual companion to his 1990 film Wild at Heart because it also co-stars Dern and Cage, Industrial Symphonies No. 1 is a hallucinatory dream that explores the concepts of love and pain in the modern dystopia. Julee Cruise plays “the dreamself” of the heartbroken woman who sings beautifully, even singing from the inside of a trunk of a car at one point. Many of the songs from the musical were recycled in Twin Peaks, including two of Julee’s recordings “Rockin’ Back Inside My Heart” and “The World Spins”.

A murdered skateboarding teen rises from the grave on his trusty board, unleashing a wave of outrageous revenge on those who wronged him.

'Twisted Issues is the debut film from underground art-barf filmmaker Charles Pinion. It has a killer with a skateboard attached to his foot and girls screaming. So, you could label it as a “slasher” without sounding like an ass. But the face-crushings and impalements are just there to anchor us. Pinion wasn’t interested in narrative or logic. He was interested in documenting the punk/skate/thrash scene of Gainsville, Florida in the late 1980s. So Twisted Issues feels like an issue of Destroy All Monsters that was created with a camcorder instead of a Xerox machine — non sequitur after non sequitur overlap to create a snapshot of someone’s life. One that is scored by Mutley Chix and Hell Witch....'

The Age of Swordfish (1955)



A short anthropological documentary from 1954. Director De Seta was fortunate enough to document swordfish fishing; by 1956 it no longer existed.

Islands of Fire (1955)



This prize-winning short is a poetic portrait of life on the coast of Sicily before, during, and following a volcanic eruption.

Sea Countrymen (1955)



Sicily, Granitola, 1955. At the first light of dawn, the fishermen set out in their boats for open water, timing the rhythm of their oars to murmured chants. They set their nets in the sea, regulate the cords, organize the boats in a square. The men’s work becomes increasingly harder as the tuna are hoisted onto the boats, wriggling, beating their tails until death arrives and the water is tinged with blood.

Easter in Sicily (1955)



Vittorio De Seta captures the music and pageantry of an Easter celebration in Sicily.

Golden Parable (1955)



Filming amid the flaxen wheat fields of Sicily, Vittorio De Seta documents the everyday rituals of farmers during harvest time.

Solfatara (1955)



Harshness and beauty exist side by side in this look at the lives of sulfur mine workers and their families in southern Italy.

Fishing Boats (1958)



The unpredictable nature of the sea governs the world of Sicilian fishermen as they work, rest, and seek refuge from a storm.

Orgosolo’s Shepherds (1958)



The striking landscapes of rural Sardinia provide the backdrop to this lyrical look at the hardscrabble lives of the region’s shepherds in winter.

A Day In Barbagia (1958)



From sunrise to sunset, Vittorio De Seta chronicles the lives of Sardinian women who look after both home and fields while their shepherd husbands are away tending their flocks.

The Forgotten (1959)



Vittorio De Seta travels to a remote province in southern Italy to capture a unique celebration known as the “Feast of Silver.”

Noah’s Castle, adapted by Nick McCarty from a young adult novel by John Rowe Townsend and produced and directed by Colin Nutley, followed the story of the Mortimer family and their trials and tribulations in a world where financial ruin on a national scale is just around the corner. Food prices are rocketing, angry mobs roam the streets and rubbish remains uncollected (a familiar sight in the real world “winter of discontent” of 1978-1979, when widespread industrial action by public sector trade unions threatened to bring the country to its knees). Dad Norman (David Neal), a former soldier and now a shoe salesman, sees the collapse coming and moves the family to a huge house on the edge of town – the castle of the title – and begins hoarding food and other supplies.

Developing from a notorious graffiti tagger into an international art star, he documented his drug- and alcohol-fueled nights with the surrogate family he formed with friends and fellow artists Ryan McGinley and Dan Colen before his death by heroin overdose in 2009.
