This is Not a Ball is a documentary that follows the creative process of acclaimed Brazilian artist Vik Muniz in the months leading up to the 2014 World Cup as he plans and creates a major new artwork made of 10,000 soccer balls.
The documentary follows Muniz as he explores the global passion for soccer and the game’s central object, the ball. In his journey, Muniz interacts with some of the most playful minds in science, like astrophysicist Neil deGrass Tyson and some of the most extraordinary soccer players in the world, like the Sierra Leone Amputee Soccer League. While the beginning of the film is promising enough, it seems that problems arise when Muniz forcefully attempts to inject himself as a key player. The journey, an exploration of the passion for soccer that evolves into a history of the ball (a sort of film version of the anthropologist John Fox’s 2012 book, “The Ball”) but in general is stronger than ever even you will see poverty, the oppression, and the daily life difficulties, at the end of the day the passion for the soccer is a tradition handed down over generations. Definitely you will distinguish a story full of adventures in organization and production that involves a Soccer ball, team and soccer aficionados.

“Korengal” means bravery, pain and fear for a group of Young men who are who fight it. While one soldier cheers when he kills the enemy, another asks if God will ever forgive him for the killing he has done. As one soldier grieves the loss of a friend, another explains why he misses the war now that his deployment has ended, and admits he would go back to the front line in a heartbeat in the middle of the world of combat.
This film was shot by Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington on location in Afghanistan’s Korengal Valley and in Vicenza, Italy at the unit base of the 2-503, Battle Company of the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team. In 84 minutes you will know more about the American troops with soldiers that have no choice but to respond to each threat with killer instincts and provides an illuminating counterpoint of an unpacking “survival” as a process but some memories are unexamined by many of the same men, looking back on their time in Afghanistan. Definitely the war of the human beings are the worst lethal weapon in a hostile citizenry, largely futile patrols, and heavy war terrain. Korengal’s formlessness forces viewers to admit humility when confronting the age-old question of why the American government fights.

From co-writer/actor/director/producer Livia De Paolis. De Paolis stars alongside Michael Cristopher (American Horror Story, Ray Donovan), Academy Award and Golden Globe-nominee Carol Kane (Hester Street, Sleepwalk with Me), multiple Golden Globe-nominee Sonia Braga (Kiss of the Spider Woman, The Burning Season), Diane Guerrero (Orange Is the New Black, Open Vacancy), and Miles Chandler (The Longshots, The Education of Charlie Banks). Elena Gallenti (Livia De Paolis) is an anthropology graduate student struggling to compete her thesis on ‘modern means of communication.’ All that changes when she meets her new boyfriend’s (Michael Cristofer) teenage kids (Miles Chandler and Diane Guerrero), who are going through their own journeys of self-discovery. Through these relationships and the help of her PhD advisor (Carol Kane), Elena comes to a better understanding of how to navigate love and intimacy in the digital age. Ultimately they develop a bond that strikes a balance between the old world and the new, and everyone’s longing to find true emotional sense in both. In 79 minutes Elena has emotional struggles trough several series of scenes in which she’s seen interacting with her thesis advisor (Carol Kane). The adolescent performances show how they interact with their emotions and communication among them and their world. Also the story deals with unexpected pregnancies and how they can turn lives upside down in a heartbeat as well as the joys and pitfalls of trans-generational relationships. “Emoticon” isn’t bad, but in the end it just doesn’t reach down deep enough for something gritty and true.
