The first in a series about a journey to source one of the most luxurious materials in the world, directed by The Inoue Brothers, The Gold Of The Andes explores the folklore of the Incas, who believed the Vicuña animals were reincarnations of young maidens rewarded with a coat of pure gold in return for giving life to their civilisation.

Described by director Cole Graham as simply “brought my camera on a trip with my brother and grandpa”, this video is so much more. It’s not just an ode to Peru, it’s about the bond of going on holiday with your closest family.

There’s a lot to keep you busy in NYC, but director Andrew Wonder and urban explorer Steve Duncan go out of their way to make their own fun. Not to be tried at home, or in New York City for that matter, Andrew and Steve take extraordinary trips into the subways and tunnels no-one gets to see. And it makes for extraordinary viewing.

Renting a car in San Francisco before setting out on a two-week drive across the whole of the United States, Mike Matas and his girlfriend took in some 3,000 miles of roadside views en route to New York, which when condensed into this quick three-minute video, sure makes you want to repeat the trip, as best of all, it was purely recreation.

Clemens Krüger, Vincent Urban and Stefan Templer travel a lot, which is great, but that they shoot each expedition is even better. At the start of 2012 the threesome started a journey to Argentina, hitting Bolivia, Uruguay, Paraguay and Brazil en route, all in their old, rusty Land Rover. And with dSLRs on hand, the wind, emptiness, hustle and bustle, animals, deserts and waterfalls, try not to want to cruise South America after this. Edited by Vincent Urban.
