Film review

LBO

The subtle mechanisms of tragedy are a constant in our society, continuing to reinvent themselves even thousands of years after their definition in ancient Greek culture. Gilles Laborde is fully aware of this, as his sho

Gone Fishing

Building consistent characters in a short film is a rare triumph and as challenging to achieve as in short prose. Not coincidentally, it is obvious that the creative team behind the short film ' Gone Fishing ' seems to b

Umbral

Watching Miguel Andrade’s short film, it’s almost impossible not to think of one of the paradoxes that defines surrealist art. If dreaming is an escape from reality and, at the same time, dreaming is a way of understandi

Film review

OBOLUS

What begins as a Beckettian scenario soon turns into an allegory of human destiny and a tender exploration of inter-human relationships. ' OBOLUS ' is a must-see short film that starts with a fundamental philosophical qu
