What to Watch May 12-18: Spring Travels05/11/2008 23:05, by MoDean in Tripfilms Blog |
Springtime has arrived, and our filmmakers are celebrating its return. Daniel Lavin kicks off the festivities with an aptly soundtracked meditation on Japan’s famed spring cherry blossoms in Sakura. It’s easy to get lost in his dreamy shots of snowy-white blossoms and cherry-blossom parties held under the glow of paper lanterns.
Bringing us back down to earth is the always-entertaining Matteus Frankovich, who takes us along on his Rites of Spring Motopilgrimage. In part 3 of 5, he gives us a motorcycle ride down remote country roads into Kentucky’s Red River Gorge, where he happens upon…a pizza parlor. You’ll have to watch to find out why (and don’t miss the the follow-up to learn what our motopilgrim and an athletic Girl Scout have in common—now there’s a start to a great joke).
Ride out of this week’s What to Watch on a road trip hosted by marafilms. With a stop at a roadside tourist attraction where the weary traveler can indulge in that hard-to-find combination of handcrafted African art and funny hats, this film of a classic spring-break road trip offers a little slice of Americana at its weirdest. And along the way, it introduces a new sport at Tripfilms: virtual rubbernecking.
Spring, as they say, has sprung.

There's just nothing like cherry blossom time in Japan. It can be great in the US, too, but the attention paid by the people all over Japan to this once a year event is what makes it so amazing...
