I would like to see more climbing documentaries where there is a timelapse of people making their way up. They look like ants rather than humans as a result. That part is 2 minutes and 20 seconds in.

What would you do if you had an eight day week rather than seven. An over the phone dialogue with moments in the day of these two people.
A short documentary about web comics.
This is a fun water experiment.
I quite like the period images from the beginning. The story begins in 1936 with steam trains and a moleskine notebook. We have a link to the 1936 Munich olympics before being brought in to the present.
WOWO - Caving in Papua New-Guinea / Spéléo en Papouasie [EN-FR] from Petzl-sport on Vimeo.
If Couleur 3 made television or video documentaries then they would be just like this one. Taking a light hearted look at the act of cave exploration it tells us about a recent expedition to Papua New Guinea.

Documentaries are sometimes invitations in to someone else’s life. The subject of the documentary trusts the person who is filming, to paint them in a positive light. In this case the topic may be seen as controversial in some countries and perfectly normal in others. As viewers we take a break from the realities we live in to experience that of others. As an aside watch this documentary and you will see that it is relaxed, the music is relaxed, the setting is convivial. There are no computer graphics, no sensationalism. It’s just moments in life. Life unawares and voyeurism are important. Remember that conversation between the two directors of Chronique D’un été? You get to the end of the film, after the screening and the commentary an you hear “Some people thought that she was too honest” and others say “That person wasn’t honest enough.”. Our reservations act as filters to our ability to enjoy or experience what we see on the screen. This is part of the reason for watching independent films rather than commercial films.

Documentaries are often about finding the right person. The right person is a person who is passionate about what he or she does. The person talks about their field in a number of locations and the documentary films what is going on in a number of locations. The point is that story telling by the talent is important but the visual story is also important. This is a visual medium. Show us. If all we want to do is listen then we have access to radio content and podcasts.

A nice cave diving video. The waters are very clear right up to the end and you even get to see a few fish.
