A short and sweet film about who men could be – if we let them

Hand in Hand

Pixflow Admin — Thu, 11 Nov 2021 09:53:50 +0000

Only a formal handshake separates two politicians from a sealed contract. But as both stubbornly try to gain the upper hand within the gesture, their grim intransigence takes on a monstrous life of its own

All citizens of Earth will recognize its set up: two seemingly benign men representing opposing parties or regions, about to engage in a yawn-worthy handshake signifying peace and agreement. What happens next represents the underlying complexities behind such a simple gesture, relating to ego, human error, and silly red tape. “Hand in Hand” is a smart commentary on governments around the world that will make you laugh at its absurdity and cringe at the fact that this grotesque body horror comedy isn’t too far off from reality.

Leading Actors: Jürg Plüss, Urs Peter Wolters, + Jürg Bünzli

Every Sport a Bowling Ball

Pixflow Admin — Mon, 06 Sep 2021 10:17:27 +0000

How would the game of golf change if you had to play with a bowling ball instead of a golf ball?

Could you possibly hit a bowling ball over the net on a tennis court? Throw a bowling ball at a dartboard? This comical short, Every Sport a Bowling Ball by filmmaker Sam Buchanan, shows us a disastrous, alternate world of sports in which the bowling ball is all we’ve got.

Sealed with a Kiss

Pixflow Admin — Wed, 01 Sep 2021 08:37:07 +0000

Allie, a struggling actress, tries to preserve a kiss from her late mother

In “Sealed with a Kiss”, director Luka Wilson explores the painful and messy experience of losing a loved one. There’s a lot we liked about the short but it’s the terrific performance by actor Annie Hamilton that took it to another level.

Automatic

Pixflow Admin — Tue, 27 Jul 2021 07:33:14 +0000

Two young women convince each other they are under threat after accidentally photographing what they believe to be a concealed automatic rifle

Two girls see something they think they shouldn’t in a working-class neighborhood in Athens. Automatic, shot in flowing long takes, tracks this paranoia with expert precision, creating a fascinating commentary on the ways one can misinterpret their surroundings. We talk to director Emma Doxiadi about the style of the film, creating room for interpretation, the influence of Michael Haneke, and the double standards of gentrification.

Festivals include:

– 57th New York Film Festival – Film at Lincoln Center
– Austin Film Festival (2019)
– Maryland Film Festival (2020)

Sew Torn

Pixflow Admin — Mon, 28 Jun 2021 09:31:52 +0000

“Sew Torn” is a tale of a seamstress, her thread, and a deal gone bad

If you ever wondered if a film can be both twee and bad ass, wonder no further. The answer is a resounding “yes” and it comes in the form of Freddy Macdonald’s Sew Torn.

A bizarre, yet compelling amalgamation of tones, Sew Torn is both dark and clever—a fun little ride that continually manages to surprise the viewer across it’s quick run-time. It’s also a perfect encapsulation of what I love about the short form in general: it engages instantly, keeps the viewer constantly guessing on where it’s going, and has a clever, satisfying conclusion. More to the point, it does this all in just six minutes with nary a line of dialogue.
