A short film that I found interesting. Now it tells a story. Maybe casual, as we can see a lot murders on TV. But not homicide is interesting here. A short film story is told from the end to the beginning. Different than in the others, I should say. And who could think that a short film story like this could be so attractive. Now I have not found some special information about this short. But I can tell you, that a short film is directed by Ranjan Shetty and authors are Gaurav Nanda and Lianne Taxeira. That’s a pity that I could not find out more information about a short film.

Description: Simple story of a man killing his wife and committing suicide because his wife was cheating on him. But the way it is represented is amazing. The full film runs in reverse so, I think its name should be rewind.

 

 

The Job

February 8th, 2009

A short film directly connected to true life. Just visa versa. Basically a short film like this shows what is happening to the world. I mean, I remember the times when poor people were waiting for a job. And this short just shows that position. I probably should thank the director, because it’s a rare thing that a short film can really open people’s eyes. And I think that by watching this short film, you should look deeper into idea. Now, earlier I was writing only my opinion and description about a short film that you were about to watch. But now I will put some more information. About short films winnings and so on. So about this short: ‘The Job was created by Screaming Frog Productions. Written & Directed by Jonathan Browning and acted & crewed by some of the most amazing people on the planet!’ says the owner of a short film. ‘The Job has played at over 125 international film festivals and has been honored with 28 awards.’

Description: Do you remember a view from old movies, when rich person comes to a field where potential employees are waiting for a job? Now here, a short film shows the same situation. Just different time, with different people.

 

 

The Rapture

February 7th, 2009

Now this short film here is a mystery for me. Here we’ll face a kidnapping problem. Kidnappers are real strangers to me, you’ll se them. And we have some sort of an angel here. This part is Comical, in my opinion. Anyways, maybe you’ll understand ‘what for?’ or ‘why?’. Good luck.

Description: An angel saves a kidnapped girl from three masked men. But before that, you have to see what kind of men they are.

 

 

 

Backwards

February 6th, 2009

From time to time I face some good idea dilettantes’ short films. Their quality is far from good, but somehow they can interest me. And this time we have here experimental short film. I liked how everything was put up together. Sometimes you just have to love these kinds of films, although camera is a little shaky and montage looks funny.

Description:  A normal day’s activities, backwards including: card tricks, sleight of hand, fire, and sandwich consumption.

 

Career suicide

February 5th, 2009

Sometimes people work so hard and so much, that for them it feels like they’re already dead. But when you are REALLY dead? It seems like after death you have to work as well. And people say, I will rest when I’ll be dead. Not going to work out with that.

Description: After death women gets… No, not to the heaven. To office. Where she has to work again. Ridicules.

 

Hallway

February 4th, 2009

Another short horror film. Somehow I like them. They don’t scare you that much, but still are impressing. This time it’s almost the same scene as in all horror movies. You see someone’s about to get you and you can’t open the God damn door.

Description: A killer wants to kill a girl. First he kills her boyfriend. Than he gets her. But easy catch is not what he wants.

 

Love field

February 3rd, 2009

Now this film is a bit ambiguous. First, they make you believe, that it’s a horror film. And don’t think that I’m putting a short film about love. Again. It’s something different. If I were director, I wouldn’t call this film love field. Anyways, check it out.

Description: Love field combines elements of HORROR, SUSPENSE and DRAMA to create a story that takes the audience on a roller coaster ride of emotions.

 

Black Button

February 2nd, 2009

Usually I put in this blog films that are about love or something like that. But that is only because there are most films about love. And Mystic is the most difficult category, because there are not so much short films that are even close to mystic. Anyways, I found one just yesterday. I really liked it because it’s different. And as far as I know, it has won 3 prizes for the best short film. So, I thought, you have to watch it.

Description: Mr. Roberts finds himself awoken inexplicably in a white room. A man sits before him at a desk and in between them stands a black button. If Mr Roberts pushes it, he will receive a briefcase filled with millions of dollars. Or he can take the key to the door and leave penniless. The catch? Pushing the button will result in the death of a human being. What would you do?

 

 

Love in a Backward World

February 1st, 2009

Have you ever noticed how crowded are cities? As if no one sees anybody, because they care only about themselves… Well, this short film shows a bit different point of view. Sometimes people search for a different person, and when they see him or her clearly in the crowd and think ‘yes, that’s the one’ it’s amazing. I enjoyed this film very much. Hope, you’ll enjoy it too.

Description: The 5 minute film tells the story of a couple who spot each other across a crowded street and fall in love. Although everyone else in the world around them moves backwards, the couple moves forward as they find each other.
