Reviews of Short Films
A River Stifled
Panagiotis Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse

Basri & Salma in a Never-ending Comedy
Panagiotis Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: “Basri & Salma in a Never-ending Comedy” may seemingly aim for impression and to please the audience with its comedy, but the comments it makes are as pointed as they are realistic and interesting, resulting in a film that thrives on all levels.
Hong Kong, Within Me
Panagiotis Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: “Hong Kong, Within Me” is well shot, well acted, well directed, looks particularly good, and is also a lesson on how to condense movies into the short format. Definitely a joy to watch.
A Short Film About Kids
Panagiotis Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: In an obviously low-budget endeavor, “A Short Film About Kids” manages to be equally informative, entertaining and well-shot, in a testament to Handal’s prowess as filmmaker.
Nan Run!
Panagiotis Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse

La Haine – The Criterion Collection (4K UHD Blu-ray Review)
