Every video game nowadays has a story, follows a plot, and eventually becomes a narrative that builds up as it develops. ‘ The Journeyman ’ reminded us of such games that are more than meets the eye, and that one may fin
Film reviewThe Little Bang
Sometimes, friendship can give birth to an entire universe. Literally. The animation ' The Little Bang ' created by Jihyeon Bae transposes at a cosmic level the human-specific emotional kinetics, interpreting the univers
Film reviewRemembrance
Human relationships always involve a variety of emotions that, in cinema, can be explored in countless ways. This thematic potential is certainly of particular interest to director Tom White who explores in his short fil
Film reviewThe Prisoner
Certain “transdisciplinary” concepts, such as “cinematic poems”, tend to have a rather metaphorical meaning when attributed to experiments based on an artistic convergence between film, photography and literature
Film reviewThe Radicalization of Jeff Boyd
A movie like ‘ The Radicalization of Jeff Boyd ’ can make you take a little bit of time and think about life and the transformation of the self in ways one cannot imagine. This transformation comes when you least exp

Film reviewMammoth
There are a few projects that impress with their apparent narrative simplicity. In fact, the great asset of ' Mammoth ' consists in depicting through an impressive authenticity a simple but profound human emotional mecha
Film reviewThe Well
In ‘ The Well ,’ André Borelli plays with the relativity of the human perception in a way filmmakers are often scared to do so. ‘The Well’ starts as a story that announces the bizarre everyday events and ends up being on
Film reviewLLAMADA
Paradoxically, extreme violent situations sometimes stimulate our deepest human resources. In other words, the inhumanity of some triggers the humanity of others. Perhaps this is the most important message of ' LLAMADA'
Film reviewBlack Dust
There are not many recent music videos that, beyond the primary purpose of transmitting a message on a strictly musical or rhythmic level, try to create some metaphorical connections with other issues of the contemporary
Film reviewThe Performance
We know that children can sometimes be a nuisance. It’s just that we refuse to admit it. And yet, maybe the larks of these kids make us love them even more. The same thing happens with the protagonist of the short film
Film reviewI Catch You
A young man follows every movement of another man. The protagonist is nervous, and he has an important mission. No spectator will guess what his true intentions are. Perhaps this is precisely why ' I Catch you (Nightmare

Death frightens us all. But there are some cases where death can trigger a funny moment, especially for those who are passionate about macabre humour. ' Leakage ' is an unpredictable short film that respects the narrativ
Film reviewThe Dalai Lama: Scientist
‘ The Dalai Lama: Scientist ’ brings to light some unknown yet fascinating facts about Dalai Lama, facts that in many ways can be contradictory to what some people may think. This is one reason why we will try to approac
Film reviewFuneral
Apparently, ' Funeral ' is not a short film that impresses with its thematic nonconformism or its narrative thread complexity. And yet, the project signed by Marie Vandelannoote succeeds in capturing that sensitive human
Film reviewClustifer
Movies about diseases are always an intense experience attacking painful details that push any viewer towards a sensitive area, activating their empathy. However, there are certain films of this kind that provide an almo
Film reviewThe Lost Scot
Sometimes a crime can start ... a great comedy. Yes, there are not many such cases, but when the British (or Scottish) humour comes in, success is guaranteed. We just surprised the mainstay of one of the most cynical and
Film reviewTwo Autumns in Paris
Watching ‘Two autumns in Paris’ made us realize that cinematography, in general, is revived with stories that weren’t overused in the past twenty-thirty years, and to see something this fresh and consistent made us extre
