Lyrics:
breathing in the dark
lying on its side
the ruins of the day
painted with a scar
and the more I straighten out
the less it wants to try
the feelings start to rot
one wink at a time
oh
forgiving who you are
for what you stand to gain
just know that if you hide
it doesn’t go away
when you get out of bed
don’t end up stranded
horrified with each stone
on the stage
my little dark age
picking through the cards
knowing what’s nearby
the carvings on the face
say they find it hard
and the engine’s failed again
all limits of disguise
the humor’s not the same
coming from denial
oh
I grieve in stereo
the stereo sounds strange
I know that if you hide
it doesn’t go away
if you get out of bed
and find me standing all alone
open-eyed
burn the page
my little dark age
I grieve in stereo
the stereo sounds strange
you know that if it hides
it doesn’t go away
if I get out of bed
you’ll see me standing all alone
horrified
on the stage
my little dark age
giddy with delight
seeing what’s to come
the image of the dead
dead ends in my mind
policemen swear to god
love’s seeping from the guns
I know my friends and I
would probably turn and run
if you get out of bed
come find us heading for the bridge
bring a stone
all the rage
my little dark age
I grieve in stereo
the stereo sounds strange
I know that if you hide
it doesn’t go away
if you get out of bed
and find me standing all alone
open-eyed
burn the page
my little dark age
Scrawny. Short. Ugly. Fat. Weird. 30% of school kids worldwide are bullied each year and bullying is the #1 act of violence against young people in America today (Source: nobully.org). The BURGER KING® brand is known for putting the crown on everyone’s head and allowing people to have it their way. Bullying is the exact opposite of that. So the BURGER KING® brand is speaking up against bullying during National Bullying Prevention Month.
In the BURGER KING® brand Bullying Jr. experiment, more people stood up for a bullied WHOPPER JR.® than a bullied high school Jr. Visit NoBully.org to learn how you can take a stand against bullying.

This film was made mining the Thomas Jefferson’s Grid in Google Earth. By superimposing a rectangular grid on the earth surface, a grid built from exact square miles, the spherical deviations have to be fixed. After all, the grid has only two dimensions. The north-south boundaries in the grid are on the lines of longitude, which converge to the north. The roads that follow these boundaries must dogleg every twenty-four miles to counter the diminishing distances: Grid Corrections Read more on BLDGBLOG: http://www.bldgblog.com/2015/12/grid-corrections/ Screenings: 2017 International Film Festival Rotterdam GLAS Animation Festival, Berkeley USA Holland Animation Film Festival Nederlands Film Festival, Utrecht International Animation Festival, Ottawa Videomedeja Festival, Novi Sad Documentary Film and Video Festival, Kassel 2016 Centre Arts Santa Monica, Barcelona Tallgrass Film Festival, Wichita KS International Video Art Festival Now&After, Moscow Distribution: LIMA li-ma.nl/site/ Made possible with the generous support of the Mondrian Fund, Amsterdam
This fruit has been part of our cultural history for centuries and is now threatened by extinction through monocropping and a looming epidemic. Ana Pérez López lets us take part in her internet expedition to explore the fate of the Gros Michel banana with alert humor. A finely drawn chronicle which also uses relics of the media and everyday history of the 20th century to retrace how telegenic the industry banana is and will remain. Even if it will soon cease to exist.

Genevieve Iron Lightning is a young Lakota dancer on the Cheyenne River Reservation, one of the poorest communities in the US. Unemployment, addiction, alcoholism, and suicide are all challenges for Lakota on the reservation. For nearly a hundred years, it was illegal to practice Lakota customs. Now, the Cheyenne River Youth Project is working with young people like Genevieve to create a stronger economic and cultural future—and they’re using their Lakota heritage to get there. “Lakota in America” is the third film in Square’s For Every Kind of Dream series.

Chris Hemsworth and Oscar nominee, Michael Shannon, star in 12 STRONG, a powerful new war drama from Alcon Entertainment, Black Label Media and Jerry Bruckheimer Films.
Set in the harrowing days following 9/11, a U.S. Special Forces team, led by their new Captain, Mitch Nelson (Chris Hemsworth), is chosen to be the first U.S. troops sent into Afghanistan for an extremely dangerous mission. There, in the rugged mountains, they must convince Northern Alliance General Dostum (Navid Negahban) to join forces with them to fight their common adversary: the Taliban and their Al Qaeda allies. In addition to overcoming mutual distrust and a vast cultural divide, the Americans—accustomed to state-of-the-art warfare—must adopt the rudimentary tactics of the Afghani horse soldiers. But despite their uneasy bond, the new allies face overwhelming odds: outnumbered and outgunned by a ruthless enemy that does not take prisoners.
Directed by Nicolai Fuglsig and based on the acclaimed “Horse Soldiers” book by best-selling author Doug Stanton, 12 STRONG also stars Michael Peña, Navid Negahban, Trevante Rhodes, Geoff Stults, Thad Luckinbill, Austin Stowell, Ben O’Toole, Austin Hebert, Kenneth Miller, Kenny Sheard, Jack Kesy, Laith Nakli, Fahim Fazli, Yousuf Azami, Said Taghmaoui, Elsa Pataky, William Fichtner, and Rob Riggle.
