This one, though it has note worthy animation, is a PSA intended to confront a voting consciousness into action. "In France, a child who reports sexual abuse committed by a family member must testify in court that they did not give their consent. This film calls upon French citizens to help change the law by signing a petition." Alas, my Google-fu fails me and I can't find if it was successful and the law amended. I brought up a kind of related topic in the Interrnational news thread: International Events 5, "As the World Turns" - Page 6 - General Chatter - A Forum of Ice and Fire - A Song of Ice and Fire & Game of Thrones (westeros.org) On 2/19/2021 at 9:08 PM, ithanos said: Apparently its too early. The PSA short film is only for a petition at this stage. Will have to check this out. Considering Russel T. Davies wrote the excellent Years and Years I'll know to steel myself for a grim experience. Its simultaneously a grim and joyful experience, which from interviews is exactly what Davies was going for. The cast is wonderful too, if you haven't watched it already put it back on your to watch list ithanos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does appear to be the same law(s) targeted by the petition. Glad to see they're coming to reason.

ithanos Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Whenever CineFix releases a top 10 list, its worth checking out. This one's on animated films, by genre. The horror pick, The Wolf house (2018) looks absolutely terrifying, yet I'm somewhat compelled to check it out. And the mind bending pick, It's Such a Beautiful Day (2012) looks an absolute treat and must watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLastWolf Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) This man here doing a near perfect imitation of Don Vito Corleone Marlon Brando is acclaimed Indian actor Kamal Haasan. Has the most top IMDB credits among all other Indian actors. Includes acting, directing, singing and whatnot. Time's top 100 films of all time features only 4 Indian films and 1 is Kamal's Nayakan with Mani Ratnam while the other three are, you guessed right cinephiles, Satyajit Ray's Apu Trilogy. Here's more... EDIT Didn't Marlon Brando refuse his Godfather Oscar as a mark of protest against the gross injustices against the Native "Indians"...

ithanos Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 The short film based on the Sci-fi short, Blindsight, was recently completed. From a collaboration of artists from around the globe between 2016 and 2020. The visuals are certainly impressive. Blindsight, by Peter Watts can be read online here. ---------- And another short film inspired by TENET. We filmed this in one night for a short film contest that we super did not win but I wanted to capture both the spirit and style of Christopher Nolan's TENET, combining it with a film concept I've been working on for years -- all created on the budget of a pair of shoes. Hope ya'll dig it. - Stephen Ford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) The visuals on that were spectacular. I recall seeing a behind-the-scenes on the VFX (particularly the virtual set and camera movements involved to make it look like she went down and up that elevator towards the end) before. Highly impressive. ETA: Here's that BTS I mentioned: And here is a site containing the six episodes of the Dynamo series which Dynamo Dream is a sort of parallel story/soft reboot. It has a very different vibe from what I can see, though, and obviously they're older so the visuals aren't as impressive. Hubert's come a long way.

Dynamo Dream feels like a day in the life of documentary short, though the POV story certainly becomes intriguing, the attention to detail makes the world feel immersive and complete in its detail. Some details are less polished than others (too often background scenes in major cinema features cut away from their expensive CGI shots before our eyes can appreciate them) but we're treated to them warts and all and I appreciate Hubert allowing shots to linger.

ithanos Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 This came out first in 2016 and has been doing the rounds again. To my embarrassment I'm guilty of having done the first one at least once. But thankfully no to the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
