THE EAGLEMAN STAG
This short is wonderfully ambitious with its storytelling. The underlying intent: “The larger our past gets the smaller our present feels” is given a world to live in. The animation invites you in with layers of textures and ideas.
Richard
Interesting character with a unique perspective. I wish it was less stylized, it feels like there was an invisible wall between the subject and the viewer.
Shadow to Life
Simple and repetitive but in every repetition, there is something pleasurable to discover.
The Mountain
Some of the images are just unbelievable.
Radiolab Presents Symmetry
Lovely.
Out of Sight
So precious. It looks and feels from a different era.
oops
Just brilliant. Youtube videos of camera getting damaged is tied up into this wonderful little video. Curious to know how some of these individual videos ended.
Becoming
A beautifully conceived dance film with steadicam work that is out of this world.
The Light of Life
One of the best!
Salton Sea Beach
The Butterfly Circus
At the height of the Great Depression, the showman of a renowned circus leads his troupe through the devastated American landscape, lifting the spirits of audiences along the way. During their travels they discover, Will, a man without limbs who lives out his life in a sordid carnival sideshow, far below his aspirations of the grandeur of the great circuses. Having only known a life of limitation and discouragement, Will is struck by an intriguing encounter with the showman that leaves him with a drive to hope against everything he has ever believed.
Winner of the Doorpost Film Project, this short film by Joshua Weigel will be expanded into a feature length film.
