LINOLEUM
Two men sitting in a meditation position, connected through a vegetal-like device that projects them into an adjacent world beyond the senses of objective reality. No, it is not the Matrix, but a kind of reinvention of t
Film reviewPetra
We could say that ' Petra ' is a fairly predictable short film that tackles a very popular theme in horror movies: the haunted house. We could say that this project is also a shocking metaphor of post-war emotional traum
Film reviewLink
' Link ' is far from being a conventional cinematographic experiment, situating rather in the aesthetics of a music video that takes over the structure of a vlog-movie, with psychedelic nuances. By proposing to create a
Film reviewSolastalgia
There are few cases where an experimental short film defying pre-established categories can capture with such a visionary force a recognizable universe that is so overwhelming through its explosive vitalism. Halfway betw
Film reviewRorrim
Mental illnesses and how the perception of the victim alters are no longer a novelty for cinema amateurs who are familiar with extraordinary films such as Shutter Island , Requiem for a Dream , A Beautiful Mind , Still A
Film reviewLifeline
' Lifeline ' is not just a sensitive short film about the burden of your own existence. It’s also a proof that, to create a powerful movie, you do not need spectacular ornamentation or a very complex script. The project
Film reviewBeaten
The premise of ‘ Beaten ’ is pretty simple and evergreen: a hitman named Bruise is contracted to murder a man, Redd, who is supposed to have leaked some information about the mayor. In a mix-up, other hitmen hired by the
Film reviewMission Wolf: Experiment in Living
‘I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear’ – this Walt Whitman verse from one of his famous poems ‘I hear America singing’ could easily be the motto of this incredible and heartwarming featurette that is, without
Film reviewFeline Paradox
Do you remember those animations in which the animals wanted to take control of humanity? If you do, then you also remember for sure the evil plans of cats which, despite their seeming innocence with which they charmed u
Film reviewMasks
The structure is quite simple and familiar: two men fighting, plus a femme female that decisively changes the rules of the game. Indeed, ' Masks ' starts from a pattern well-known by the general public, but this short fi
Film reviewSif
It is incredible how archetypes created from the oldest times by humanity, but also by the most important writers of the world, succeed in being shaped in the most nonconformist forms. ' Sif ' is a short film that proves
Film reviewPawns Screenplay
War is one of the topics that has always had and will probably always have a strong presence in art. This is because few subjects are so prevalent and perpetual all throughout history. War has always been a constant ever
Film reviewRear View 360
Modern attempts to force the boundaries between artistic discourses generated in the last century a series of innovative experiments that defied pre-established reports of generic purity. Thus, novelties such as theatric
Film reviewLoss of Reality
It is hard to say what impressed us most in ' Loss of Reality ': the way the director approaches the theme itself illustrating the personal failure of a drug addict, the miserable authenticity of the intimate world of th
Film reviewThis Jelly Donut Feeling
The humans' contact with new technology has been exploited so much in contemporary cinema focused rather on a dystopian vision that it is almost impossible to believe that some directors are approaching this subject with
Film reviewCotton Wool
' Cotton Wool ' doesn’t just talk about the fragility of life. Also, this touching project is not just a tender and heart-breaking incursion into the whims of unexpected illness distorting the everyday routine of individ
Film reviewFor It Is Written
"Thou shall not kill". But what happens when you live in a world that works by the "kill or be killed" principle? In a world where God is totally absent? Starting from this inconvenient and apparently irresolvable idea,
Film reviewYOU or ME
We are our own past, whether or not we are responsible for what happened to us. But what happens to us when we cannot really be responsible for our own present? ' YOU or ME ' is a short story about schizophrenia, about F
Film reviewInhumanity
The crazy type of character has changed dramatically in the last few years. No one can see the crazy one with the same eyes after ‘Fight Club’ happened. The universal Tyler Durden-type can be seen in every little charact
Film reviewMy Friend: Standing Strong
Stacey M. Zipfel’s documentary can be a powerful shock therapy session for animal lovers because it goes where documentaries aren’t going on a regular basis – in the darker zone. What if you have a best friend, someone w
