A Juicy Turkey - Benoit Ameil
This is a nice little film, it has all sorts of moments from comedy to suspense. the story line is pretty interesting, a wife obsessed with George Clooney! i sometimes find it hard to watch foreign films with having to read the subtitles i loose the visual aspect of what is going on, but i did enjoy this short.
Come Here Today - Simon Aboud
This short, shot in black and white, which definitely helps the theme of the film stars Rhys Evans. I liked the camera angles that were used and the extreme close-ups, they all helped to portray the film and its context well.
Making The Man - John Susman
I wasn't sure about this short, i couldn't quite tell where it was leading up until the last scene. I did like the last scene that demonstrated what good editing could do with a lot of footage.
Single Girl - Kristen Swanbaeck
I didn't really get this film, it ended and i was just puzzled cuz i expected more.
Alfie Is Go - Joe Godard & Tom Cerroni
Rocket Man Alfie! This documentary follows Alfie, a man who is attempting to build a prototype flying saucer. what I didn't like about this was the way that the karaoke was edited in to the interview, i felt that i would have liked it more if i had seen his whole response and not kept being interrupted by his singing talents.
The Facts In The Case Of Mr Hallow - Rodrigo Gudino & Vincent Marcone
I really like this short. I thought it was incredibly clever and out of all the shorts i've watched i did have to watch this a second time. The way that the films zooms in on the photo and moves around is great, can't quite figure out they did it as i was looking for obvious edit points but hardly found any, would like to know how it was done!
One Of The Last (Uno Degli Ultimo) - Paul Zinder
I couldn't watch this as the subtitles unreadable, so i had no idea what the man was saying.
This is a bizarre little animation, about and loosing his virginity. i liked the animation style and the way in which the drawing style changes from line drawing to chalk style when the story line changes. it's a bit twisted and the story does make me think about how people would feel about moments in their lives like this one in the future.
Toyland - Jochen Alexander Freydank
I've actually seen this short before when i visited Berlin last year, at the Bahnhof. i like this short because the story shows a different element to my normal thoughts about the Nazi's rounding up the Jewish and sending them off to concentration camps. before this i didn't imagine how hard it was to try and explain to a child what was going on, and how hard it would be for them. definitely interesting seeing it from that perspective.
