Trailer for the documentary Bill Cunningham New York by Richard Press.
From Protein:
Cunningham’s candid photos have been documenting the New York fashion scene over the last 50 odd years for the Times Style section, and has no doubt influenced street-style snappers the world over. It took 10 of those years to make the film - 8 for Press to convince Cunningham to do it in the first place, and 2 to film and edit.

300 Day Loner Island Trip
The new French government must be pushing some sort of programme to urge its citizens to take on extreme solo missions these days. Just days after poor Michel Fournier’s hopes of ultimate skydiving were deflated, another enterprising chap from France is going to spend 300 quality days on a remote island with only himself as company and nary a Club Med in sight.

French explorer and adventurer Xavier Rosset is about to embark on a 300 day trip to live alone on a remote tropical island in the South Pacific. His adventures will be filmed and used for a 52 minute documentary.
Xavier’s only luggage will be a Swiss army knife, machete video camera and a solar panel for charging the camera. He will spend 10 months alone on an island to develop another way of life through an exciting adventure, a return to the elemental sources. Xavier will survive alone on an island without human interference and without polluting emissions.
The ambition of this documentary is to make a reflection on our lifestyle, our current system and our relationship to nature. And the most important thing is to put the dream and emotion at the heart of adventure natural.
