Weaponizing the Weather: The Race to Make Clouds | How to Kill A Cloud (Full Film) | The Short List

by

Download

How to Kill a Cloud is a documentary of a Finnish female scientist trying to create rain in the United Arab Emirates desert. Can ambition be measured in rain?

‘The Short List’ is a collection of some of the world’s best documentaries, curated by VICE founder Suroosh Alvi. On the first Thursday of every month, we’re airing a brand new documentary on our YouTube.

Each episode features a full documentary accompanied by Alvi in conversation with the filmmakers and the films’ subjects. In his conversations with the filmmakers Suroosh explores the themes of the films, unpacks the journey the filmmakers embarked on when creating their projects, and delves into the documentaries’ impact on audiences.

This series aims to take conversations usually only privy to the film festival crowd and go deeper, sharing them with millions of VICE viewers around the world. These documentaries go beyond parachute journalism — they are immersive insights into global issues and subcultures.

Watch more from the Short List here, including films like ‘Wojnarowicz’, ‘Yung Lean: In My Head’ and ‘Showgirls of Pakistan’:

How to Make a Record-Setting Paper Plane

by

Download

If you want to make the best paper planes, you need to learn from a master. So we asked John Collins, who set the Guinness World Record for farthest flight by a paper aircraft in 2012, to teach us a thing or two about the squash fold and perfect winglets. In this tutorial, he shows us how to fold three planes:

The Suzanne—the plane he set the world distance record with, named after his wife.

The Tube—a tube-shaped plane you throw like a football.

And, finally, the Boomerang—a stunt plane capable of circling left and right and performing loops.

Ready to fly? Grab a stack of paper, press play (pause as often as you need to) and fold away.

You can watch our original video with John Collins here:
