a wonderful documentary about a relatively untouched island strip off the coast of Canada where horses roam free and there's no one to govern or be governed. it's visually captivating - documenting the unique landscapes and characters of the island. powdery whites, blush pinks, soothing greens. it was shot on 16mm film and the director used experimental development techniques, developing the film in the island's seaweed, water, and sand to provide additional texture and biomarkers to the film.
if you're in the mood for a mystical, scientific, soothing watch, i would highly recommend :) it's available on cbcgems if you're in canada!

Very immersive doc about a naturalist who lives on a tiny remote strip of sand off the coast of Nova Scotia and follows her 40+ year dedication to the animals that inhabit the island with her. Some really cool experimental elements, like a soundtrack made by bugs and film developed in the seawater surrounding the island

It’s a slow documentary with beautiful footage that doesn’t demand too much from you. But it’s also about the lives of the filmmakers and what stood out to me was their bloody mindedness about finding the snow leopard and not knowing if they would. So it’s also a film about vulnerability, hopelessness, and uncertainty. It doesn’t sugar coat at the end. I think in its way it’s a really good representation of what life is actually like, even though practically no one is a wildlife photographer.

The perfect comfort movie. I’ve seen it countless times and I will watch it countless more over my lifetime.
Two american surfers travel the globe to follow the summer season through the hemispheres to find waves never before ridden. It’s a tight 92 minute documentary complete with jangly surf rock, narration from a guy that sounds like MLB commentator from the ’50s, and Tasty Waves.
The anthropological aspect local native fishermen witnessing the act of surfing for the first time is also really sick, they even hold a surf camp for some little Ghanaian kids.

the boy i have feelings for is in love with someone else. he tells me about it frequently and is experiencing issues with his partner. he told me that if he could give me one piece of advice, it’d be to not fall in love. i’d like to do it out of spite tbh.
