Different

February 28th, 2009

Have you ever felt different? I know I did. I mean, in any kind of way – different religion, different clothing, and different sexual orientation? Did it make it hart for you to fit in with others? This time a short film is about being different, when you don’t want to be. It’s about a person, who feels that he was born not in the right body. A man feels like a woman. Don’t you think it is the worst feeling in the world? I bet it is. Anyways, I think people should know, what is about this bad ‘don’t fit’ feeling. That’s why I put this short film here. And this time it’s not for your enjoyment, it’s for the purpose to broaden your mind. I hope your understanding and empathy

Description: A short film about feeling like you don’t fit in. About getting bored of your pointless file. About finding ‘the easiest way’.

 

The streets

February 26th, 2009

Now I know, we have a lack of documentary short here, in our page. But I have founded one very perfect. It is perfect, because the whole film is not acting. The whole crew actually followed a homeless man and filmed his day life. Yes, it’s a short film about homelessness. I think it’s pretty cool that you can actually see how hard is to live in the streets and how cruelly people react when they see a homeless person. It’s a short film made in 24 hours for the shelter society project and was nominated as the first place and the best film. Anyways, some people in this society level choose different role – they start taking drugs, committing crimes, or even murders. Today I am kind of proud to show a short film like this. Hope you’ll enjoy.

Description: A short film shows a small part of a life of a homeless man living in Edinburgh and also the way people think about homelessness. It is homeless mans point of view this time.

 

Morning light

February 24th, 2009

A short film, which is really short. Again, about love. Kind of ‘cheezzee’. But still somehow interesting. I appreciate the quality in a short film. This short doesn’t have anything to complain about that.  I think it’s about one of those morning, when you get up in the morning, your bed is full of your lover and you feel strange, pleased or however. Talking about technical issues – none. I like the angle of the camera in every scene. I even like the fact that you don’t get to see actors’ faces quite clear. As for idea, not the best one. But still - good job. What I managed to find out is the date – 2005, October. Again, a nice job of a student. This time from Columbia College.

Description: A short film about a couple. How to return to real life, when the morning light comes. A little bit about love.

 

Fast Reward

February 22nd, 2009

Now this short film left me with a question symbol in my head. I mean, I understand that it’s about homosexual, but the meaning… I don’t know. Maybe it’s one of those films, which you have to watch couple times to understand everything from beginning till the end. Maybe the director wanted to show how can life run away from you and leave you without ‘love’. This you will have to figure out yourself. Tell me as soon as you will find out. Now, what I founded out about a short film is that it was made in Belgium, 2004. The name of the film director in under the post. What’s more I could tell? Maybe, guys don’t watch it. I know, you don’t like such things… But as far as I remember there’s no ‘came outs’. Enjoy.

Description: A short film is about a guy, whose all life went by in a gay bar. Maybe to reveal himself as a homosexual wasn’t such a good idea?

 

All R.A. Floor

February 20th, 2009

A quite stupid short film, I should say. But sometimes people like to watch some stupid comedies, I know I do. So I decided to pus something easy-watching after all serious themes. In my opinion, it’s a short film with little bit of documentary, but it’s a comedy. Maybe stupidness is exaggerated on purpose here. And I think it’s because in our days students are quite stupid, or they just dumb themselves down, to be a part of the group. A short film shows that it is completely unnecessary. It’s more prevential, I think. In conclusion a job is done pretty well and a short film is worth of watching. Otherwise, I would never put it here.
Description: A short film about a group of student, who are together in some kind of seminar. They are making rules and trying to communicate. And they don’t mean to be the bad guy here…

 

Skin deep

February 18th, 2009

I like short films that analyses deeper problems of our society. One of those problems is mental disorder. One of the most common mental disorders is schizophrenia. One or the other form of it can cause a lot of misunderstanding, misbehaving or other problems with family, friends and etc. A short film, that we have here shows everything, what I’ve been talking earlier in this post. Again, it’s two-part-film. Both parts are in this post. I’ve managed to find out that this film is shown like prevention against racism, self injuring and people, who are indifferent. If you’re interested, more information is on www.selfharmony.co.uk website. Also, this film was nominated in BAFTA short film festival.

Description: A short film, which shows that racism and prejudice is the main cause of mental health problems amongst minorities. A short film, which shows the suffering of victim with mental disorder.

Take Two

February 16th, 2009

Now, have you ever done everything to stop ‘the evil’? A short film like this represents what happens, when you simply can’t stop someone of doing something inappropriate. This is the worst thing in whole world, when you want to help, but you are too afraid or you’re just too weak to do something. All I managed to find out was that this film is made by a student. And that means it’s pretty experimental. But, quality is unbelievable high, so that makes me proud, that students can find support from studios by themselves. Also, I should comment a short film idea. As for a short film, it’s quite unusual. I think I have seen some ‘full meter’ movies, that has the same idea, but that’s not the point. With this theme it’s hard to fit in 7 minutes, I think. Anyways, the result is good.

Description:  A short film story is about a guy who saw an incident of robbery. Then he ran away because he is too afraid to help, or to call help. And day by day he sees the incident again and again. And this drives him into madness.

 

The Insane

February 14th, 2009

Another short horror movie. And quite scary, I should say. Anyways, sometimes it’s surprising for me how a short film can be that good. Well, this has a strong story line over here. I enjoyed watching it and I know you will enjoy too. Also I appreciate the quality of a short film. This one has it. As far as I know, this short movie has won best horror/suspense short at the 2008 Comic-con. This may prove that a short film is worth of watching. The thing I didn’t really enjoy was cruelty and the ‘what’s right’ point of view. But still you have to watch a short film by yourself.

Description: John Vincent is a cop on a quest for vengeance. After finding his wife murdered in his own home, he decides to dispense justice on the murderous psycho’s who have destroyed his life. Armed with only a crowbar and his wits, John takes to the city streets and takes out the insane maniacs.

 

 

Kiwi!

February 12th, 2009

A short animated film. I decided that it’s more that enough films about serious things. Sometimes we have to chill. And this short film suites perfectly. What I like about this short is the thought that is brought up so nicely in all picture. Also I should tell some good words about graphics. This short film is made by student, who was attending The School of Visual Arts in New York. It’s my dream place to study animation too. I found some author words about this short movie: ‘My Master’s Thesis Animation, which I completed while I was at The School of Visual Arts, MFA Computer Art, in New York City. Created using Maya, After Effects, and rigged using The Setup Machine by Anzovin studios.’ The music is original and is by Tim Cassell.

Description: A short film story is about a bird, which can’t fly. And even if you can’t fly, there is always a possibility ‘to fly’. You’ll see what I mean. Enjoy a short film.

 

 

The Suicide

February 10th, 2009

I have never put here two parts short film yet. But now I have one just like that. I wanted to show a short film such like this for a long time. I should say that this short is not really about suicide in my opinion. It’s more like about love. And some things here may shock you. I know they shocked me. And some things are not understandable here for me. Maybe they never will be. On the simplest level “The Suicide” is a tale of the victory of love and spirit over ego and superficiality - of compassion over material obsession; about purity in the face of death and the salvation of love. Jeff Markey, a remarkable actor, is superb in this tale which is based on Bukowski’s short story. All the more remarkable because Markey directed and wrote the piece as well. These are the words of Paul Williams Director/Producer and a member of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. A short film for your judgment.

Description: Main actor breaks our notions of what is cool in our advertising/media dominated world and what is expected of beauty and discovers something within him, he never knew he had. His discovery brings us to tears.. One of the most moving and excellent short films to come along in a long time–and when it is most needed as this world degenerates into surface, posing, materialism and hatred… a flower grows.
