Short Film Reviews
Identity is a short film by KJ Adames. The short film criticizes the dominant cultural norms of identity and the self, and beautifully stylized, suggests we be ourselves instead of try to conform to those norms. Although the use of masks is a tad literal, I found it interesting nonetheless.
Here’s a bit of a darker short film for you (certainly compared to the one I shared last week): the Iranian short film Tonight is not a Good Night for Dying (2011), directed by Ali Asgari. This short is shot from the perspective of a man who just fell from a building.
I came across this animated short film called Wind. It’s a graduation film by a film student, Robert Löbel, of the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences. I loved this.
