A short film by Alistair Banks featuring the art of Etsuko Ichikawa.

I can’t remember if I’ve already shared this particular project, but it never hurts to revisit good art.

Errol Morris interviewed competitive eater El Wingador:

El Wingador is a man truly committed to a certain kind of excellence — or at least, a certain kind of excess. Sure, I could have picked a different eating champion, but I guess I have an affinity for chicken. It is evident that chicken is his favorite competition food — particularly chicken wings. I asked him, “Why not hot dogs?” The simple and compelling answer: “Hey, my name is ‘El Wingador,’ not ‘El Hotdogador.’”

A trailer for a documentary about some crazy Frenchmen who combine ‘climbing, slackline and tightrope walking.’ As well as base-jumping and whatever that thing is called where you fly down the side of a mountain with those batwing suits.

Jessica Yu directed this short film about Jack Sim, aka Mr. Toilet:

For those without access to a simple toilet, poop can be poison. Businessman-turned-sanitation-superhero Jack Sim fights this oft-neglected crisis affecting 2.6 billion people.

This is an acoustic version of Wye Oak’s Civilian, shot for They Shoot Music Don’t They.

Update: The original, for comparison. And thanks to Karl Pichotta for the tip.

A prologue for a developing TV series. I would totally watch this.

Cristóbal Vila created a beautiful CGI fly-through — from construction to completion — of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater.
