85 Seconds
What a brilliant way to show off your product!
Speed Dating
Here is the sad truth behind those crappy relationships.
Paperman
A lovely short by Disney Animation. The style is a mix of modern and old. The story, especially the resolution, is classic Disney. That’s where it kinda disappoints. We like magic on screen, it works but the resolution I wished came from the non-magical. Still, I loved it.
Stanley Pickle
Full of lovely little ideas.
HOW I MET YOUR FATHER
Good performances.
Moving Takahashi
Ambitious short! I miss shorts like this. There is a full story here instead of a structure hiding a viral idea which is where most shorts live nowadays. Each has its merits. The character driven shorts get no play online but plenty in the festival circuit but I think even that’s shifting.

It’s time.
Apt title. The short is perfectly tailored for our times.

Father and Daughter
Heartbreaking! Beautiful in showing the passage of time.

Splitscreen: A Love Story
The B story of the comparisons are more interesting than the expected plot twist.
Minstorming
Interesting idea. Fascinating in a voyeuristic sort of way.

FILM 1
One of my favorite videos I’ve ever posted here. There is so much that can go wrong with this idea where the entire thing could come off pretentious. Maybe to some, it might very well be a little pretentious. To me, the filmmaker, Martin de Thurah, walked the line beautifully, it is a dream but unlike some films about dreams, there is a connection to a reality that we can easily comprehend.
Truth be told, I can spend a lot of time looking at Iva Gocheva. Her expressions shift and move so quickly and powerfully, my feelings can’t help from mirroring hers. Just lovely work overall. Excuse me as I watch it another time.

RÖYKSOPP – SENIOR LIVING
The time shifts are lovely. I think cinema should officially replace the cigarette with the lollipop.
Silence and Slow Time
Lovely.
Bottle
Absolutely lovely project. Via NoFilmSchool, where you can also find a video on how it was made.
Vicky and Sam
While working at the local video store, Vicky meets Sam, who quickly becomes a regular costumer. Both fall in love, ignoring the true reason for their rendez-vous.
A short “metacinema” movie written and directed by Nuno Rocha.
