Reviews of Short Films
Confluence
Panos Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: The music-video approach is unusual for a documentary with the particular main subject, but in the end, the audiovisuals here make the message easier to be heard and understood, while retaining the entertainment for the whole of the short’s duration, and that is where the value of both the approach and of the whole film lies.
Further and Further Away
Panos Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: “Further and Further Away” is a very well-shot short that manages to present its comments clearly while remaining beautiful throughout, in a style that will definitely appeal to European film festivals.
Graveyard of Horses
Panos Kotzathanasis @ Asian Movie Pulse
- Excerpt: “Graveyard of Horses” is an impressive short, that highlights the director’s knowledge of her subject as much as her eye for composition.
