Review of “Caregiver Wanted”
What makes “Caregiver Wanted” different is the screenplay, considering every other aspect is very minimal and simple.

Featurette: the ISA award-winning performance of Danny Gavigan
For the first time, Independent Shorts Awards have decided to give a special jury prize to recognize the amazing performance of Danny Gavigan in ISA award-winning short film “Rumination”.
Review of “Futureworld”
The story of ISA award-winning “Futureworld” is definitely what makes this short film extraordinary and intelligent, but another significant strength of this movie is the animation itself.
Review of “God Came ‘Round”
Even though “God Came ‘Round” was based on the song and has the purpose of illustrating it, the image is so strong and carries such narrative that sometimes it even takes the spotlight from the song.
Review of “Kill The Engine”
ISA award-winning “Kill The Engine” is an excellent example of entertainment production, consistent in technical terms and perfectly effective for the effects it seeks.
Review of “Pages 321”
In this short film, Anugat Raj does not seek originality but the ability to revisit and translate into cinematic language a central theme of the creative process, which is always a huge challenge.
Review of “Lazarus’ Resurrection Won’t Do Any Good”
ISA award-winning Clodoaldo Lino produces a statement, in the tradition of Sartre’s existentialism thought: the condemning of humankind to itself, the condemning of Man to an existence without God. And this is where the singularity of this film begins. A courageous work, because it is an unusual cinematic exercise, an excellent piece of filmmaking intended for demanding moviegoers who not only look for entertainment but also for the interpretation, and reconstruction, of reality the cinema can and should do.
Gaspar Noé and Transgressive Cinema
It becomes a matter of choice from part of the viewer to watch Noé’s films or not, because one thing is certain: they will always shock in some way.
anexperimentalviralvlog – the movie remix # !
“Anexperimentalviralvlog – the movie remix # ! “is a unique experimental short film, an artistic statement whose effects cause a sensation of dream logic, or perhaps even a nightmare, that makes the audience feel trapped inside someone’s head and emotions.
Directed by Vasco Diogo (Portugal)
La Noche
Edgardo Castro has an extraordinary and courageous approach to sexuality. “La Noche” stands out from other movies about the same topic by its faithful representation of life without worrying about shocking the audience with the explicit images.
Fight Club
If “Fight Club” had been shot with the neorealism techniques, the ending would have been much different. Even though some mainstream movies cannot be compared at this level, it is possible to compare the techniques.
The colors of “Le Bonheur (Happiness)”
The choices of color in shot compositions have a significant impact on the narrative and the emotions the director tries to create. In “Happiness”, every shot is carefully composed, where all the colors match and create a beautiful composition that could easily be a painting.
All the Cities of the North
An example of the power of the visuals and a very poetic movie, not only because of its shot composition but also for the voiceover with texts and a Serbian poem, increasing the dramatic intensity.
The Dazzling Light of Sunset
Documentaries are usually very raw and have a distant relationship with the viewer. Salomé Jashi does the opposite by creating a personal environment, leaving the audience wondering what is real and what is manipulated to seem real.
