“Strangers In Transist” by Anna Brooks.
“A short film celebrating the unremarkable shapes that usually go unnoticed amongst the commotion of the London Underground. Two passengers traveling the central line find themselves locked in each others grip for the duration of their journey. The unseen crowd dictate their movements around the carriage placing them in awkward and intimate positions with each other. The recognizable sounds and noises of the underground emphasise the rhythm and monotonous nature of the tube.”
“J.F.P.” is a beautiful track and video from multimedia artist Takagi Masakatsu.
“Deafula”, 1975 by Peter Wolf.
Deafula is a complete Dracula movie with all the dialogues performed in sign language. Amazing. Popcorn, anyone?

“Refait” by Pied La Biche.
Wow. Whether you care about soccer or not: this is great! Note: The good stuff starts happening after about 40 seconds, so please give it a while.
“Refait” is a remake of the football WorldCup match between France and Germany (Seville, Spain, 1982). Shot by Pied La Biche in Villeurbanne (France), every aspect of the fifteen last minutes of the match was carefully reconstructed : players, positions, gestures, intensity, drama etc. It consists in shifting the traditional game area into the urban environment. Each sequence takes place in one or several locations and then the city temporarily becomes the lab for unsual experiments. The soundtrack is made up of the original commentaries mixed with interviews of the audience recorded during the shooting.”

“Six Days in Life of Sandra Lolax, Videotaped”, 2010 by Martin Kohout.
“A friend of the artist (Sandra Lolax) was asked to come to the artist’s studio in evening to help with a project. At the first meeting she was asked to describe the day only by using gestures. This process was repeated five more times in the following days.”
“The Shield Around the K” is a great documentary on the infamous and highly influential K Records recording company, home to wonderful bands and artists such as Beat Happening, The Blow, The Microphones, Beck, Mirah and many many many more. 100% worth watching and only up for a week, so get going.
