We at TMFF hope you all had a fantastic Christmas alongside your loved ones! Since we already offered our list of favourite Christmassy films last year around this time, we now decided to do the same for the upcoming cel
Nowadays, the idea of people living isolated existences, mostly cut off from the rest of the world, surviving by themselves in valleys or forests, seems rather alien to most of us. Despite the fact that alongside their l
There's a number of series returning to screens in 2019. Game of Thrones, Peaky Blinders, Stranger Things, (possibly) Fargo... but we all know that, don't we? What we're perhaps slightly less familiar with are the newcom
'Curiosity killed the cat' is a piece of wisdom that virtually all of us should be familiar with. And if we are, we probably also know that curiosity is not a cat exclusive trait - it's likewise a very human characterist
As winter is definitely coming, and a chill ominously looms over Europe, we decided to stay in tune with the weather and already think about winter time. So, this week we've compiled a list of 5 currently ongoing and upc
Without music, most movies wouldn't even get off the ground running. A bold claim? Oh, absolutely. But is it true? Almost without a doubt. Music appeals to the viewers and their emotions are heightened when listening to
Galveston is a recently-released film that takes its name from its setting: a small town in Texas, in the Gulf of Mexico more specifically. As the title does not say much, one could easily think it's some sort of lighthe
Halloween night just passed, so who would expect a post about horror films the very next day? Everyone? Oh, then we will proceed without the surprise element in hand. With Halloween coming and going, I was thinking a bit
Some of the biggest blockbusters have to do with our fear of the unknown – aliens, sea monsters, big natural disasters, and of course, our pre-historic predecessors that once roamed the earth before we arrived: dinosau
It might seem like only yesterday, but actually the last time Martin Scorsese made a gangster movie, the year was 2006. You remember The Departed, right? After all, it won Best Picture at all major award ceremonies the f
Writing stories can be done just for passing time, practicing creativity or experiencing something new - we certainly know that. And general rules for storytelling also apply to a more niche-oriented screenplay format. W
Now that cold weather is slowly but steadily replacing the summer vibes and any potential leftovers, a seasonal shift is also occurring in the world of films. Lazy, action-heavy blockbusters perfect for a hot summer even
Every couple of months or so, there comes yet another mass hysteria surrounding a new release in the superhero genre. Several years ago, I would do my best to keep up with the releases - not watching each and every one o
Whoever said that video games cannot tell good stories either hasn't played video games, or hasn't played the right ones. At times, they can be the most powerful storytelling medium, since they offer a visual backdrop, a
Have you ever wanted to shoot a short film, but completely lacked a good idea, while also not having the funds to purchase the rights for one? Well, no worries really, one of the world's best selling authors has got you
Remember how last week we briefly touched upon how VR might be changing the fact of films - or, at least, shaping an intriguing niche in a variety of genres? Well, I decided to carry on with the topic, so this time we're
Like it or hate it, but technology advancement never stands still, and a slightly longer sleep entails the risk of not recognising the world you wake up in. Especially in the last couple of centuries, technology has invo
By 'pet films', we don't exactly mean films that you should show to your pet while you find something else to do, although we highly encourage watching them alongside your favourite animal(s). In order not to start anoth
Black mirror is a dark revealing series that somewhat sends a chill down our spines. The more than reality events shown in the series somewhat depict our future. This sci-fi drama shows what our future might be like. And
Do action films really need to be part of franchises to do well? Yes and no, with the balance leaning toward the latter. While it might help to have an identifiable hero that does each new installment's marketing in a fl
