Film review

Silent Sirens

Certain short films manage to leave a lasting impression on the viewer's soul, thanks to the emotions they evoke. Others achieve the same effect through their non-conformist style. ' Silent Sirens ' possesses the rare qu

Film review

Good Filipino Kids

Beyond its aesthetic role, one of the purposes of cinema, especially in a present dominated by globalism and multiculturalism, or in an industry oversaturated with mainstream standards, is to "accredit" an ethnicity. And

Film review

Ghost Trials

Nothing can disappoint more than a person you love. ' Ghost Trials ' is the story of such disillusionment. It starts from a seemingly ideal father-son relationship and dives into the backstage of a dysfunctional family r

Film review

Blood and Ash

We have to say from the beginning that ' Blood and Ash ' is an atypical short film. But this striking quality doesn’t necessarily lie in its noticeable technical qualities or in the directorial vision of Kenneth Sanabr

Film review

Night Eye

Some stories don’t need a thrilling central conflict or extreme trauma to create a haunting atmosphere. ' Night Eye ' is the perfect example, and what Oliver Wieländner offers us through his short film is truly a spec
