This short film is not about a girl named Ana. Not about friends. It’s not about what you think it is. At first I should say, that girls call anorexia as Ana. So now you know. I interpretive this film non – directly. I think it is about what is going on inside a girl, when she starts to starve herself.
Description: What kind of jail has no gates and no guards? Fourteen year-old Sophie navigates the rules of her surreal prison of the mind with the help of her new friend Ana. This gorgeously creepy exploration of self-destruction overflows with rich Lynchian metaphors.
Basically this film is about suicide. Very depressing and full of suicidal stuff. But something didn’t let me turn off the window. And when I saw the end, I thought that was for a reason. Suicide is a terrible thing, you know. But even more terrible is when you fail in trying to kill yourself. And sometimes it can be the most hilarious thing in the whole world. So, short about life’s oldest question…
Description: All film is monologue. A man is talking about how his life is getting worse and worse. Talking about how much minutes left till the train comes. But what do do when it doesn’t come?
For this post I’ve chosen a horror film. It’s quite interesting, because we’re putting horror genre for the first time. And as for the short film horror theme is quite dangerous to do. You may have a brilliant idea, but horror requests good montage and effects. Anyways, this film shocked me. It is quite scary. The film is about a mind playing tricks with a person.
Description: A girl can not sleep. She’s having nightmares at the moment she fells asleep. But how to know if you’re not sleeping at the moment if your mind is playing tricks all the time?
Probably, from a name of a short film, you think it’s some kind of drama. I have to disappoint you. It’s a comedy. At first it was hilarious for me, but then things started getting a bit absurdist. In the end it’s total nonsense, but beginning is funny, so I thought that I can show it to you. I don’t know what has to be in your head to create such film.
Description: When a new friend is invited over to watch the game, he encounters a party guest with an unexpected relationship with food. But that is not new for him…
I don’t know if you all know who is skinhead. For short introductory I should add that it’s a subculture like punks, just whit totally different ideas. They believe that their country (wherever they live), is just for those, who were born there, has the same religion and skin color. Anyways, you should probably know what this short is about. It has some racial issues, but that is not the main theme.
Description: A guy gets in the subway and sits down. In front of him is sitting a man, who is Jew. He himself is a Jewish, but when a group of skins come to sit next to them, he try’s to hide it, until…
Now this short, I know quite for a while. The idea is awesome. I absolutely love this film. It has something deeper than pictures and sounds. But that you have to figure out by yourselves. I like how idea is settled up: DJ and God. For me these two themes has nothing in common. Anyways, this film just proves that God IS a DJ. By the way, this film is a winner of over 40 film festival awards worldwide.
Description: A short film about a mysterious DJ who is sent to a busy city block to mend a series of tragic events that occur in our everyday lives.
A casual short film. Whit no obligate theme. But film is about one of my favorite things – coffee. It’s somehow different. Just that. And name of the film this time means more than a ‘coffee break’. This time name is played on words. You will see how.
Description: Joe jus wanted a simple cup of coffee with his girlfriend. Nothing special. Simple as always. What could go wrong?
Once again a short film about love. But when it’s comedy theme it doesn‘t really matter. So, you know how hard is to say ‚I love you‘ for a guy. But sometimes you don‘t have to say this exactly like it should be. Especially when girl is death. This short film is a good lesson how to get out of situation like that.
Description: A couple is about to have sex, bus girl suddenly says the magical words ‘I love you’. Now the only chance to have sex for a guy is to say the same thing. But what if he’s not sure? Thank God that she’s death.
Our world is a complicated place to live. Here are a lot of evil thing happening. One of those things is robberies. What would you do if you get on one of those? But apparently somewhere are some heroes. I guess, this film wants to prove their existence. Quite funny short. And this time no stretchiness.
Description: Unique robbery (you will see why). A guy with a gun tries to steal money (as always - money). But one of the owners of the shop takes off his rubber gloves. You have to see yourself what happens next.
Have you ever been to a ghetto? There are some rules. And one of them – homosexuals are beaten. This film interested me by a theme. It’s quite old, but that doesn’t bother. The cool thing I found out about this film is that after this short was made a ‘full meter’ movie ‘On The Down Low’, which was based on this short film. Sometimes it is hard to pay attention but that was the only problem for me.
Description: Ghetto. Gang members are vandalizing a neighborhood till the cope sees them. After everybody runs to different sides, but two guys stay together. On the way home they kiss. Apparently somebody of the gang members finds out that there is homo in their group. Rules are rules and they have to kill him.
