Hi,
i'm currently attending a small short film Festival in Norway. I just missed the first day and we closed today Day 3 of screenings.
I can't help but notice how most of the films fall within the same "genre". i'm talking about this "metaphorical" kind of movie where there is no real narrative, story or character development.
After two days of watching shorts like this, i'm already fed up.. I'm gonna blow at the next filmmaker who presents to me his "take on reality" with a silent short movie (they are always very silent), with LONG BORING shots on the eyes of a character hurt inside, going through some metaphysical shit and absolutely no storyline..
This one stuck with me : vimeo.com/54148068. Just get amazed at how long the scene is. And then imagine that every scene in the film is like that,without nothing happening.
What the hell ? I'm longing for the next action short, or at this point, anything with a story really...
On the good side, we had a very cool guest, Cordel Barker, a kick ass animator (not CGI). Today he showed us his work and talked about his career and answered to our question. Tomorrow we're going to have a workshop with him. i'm so hyped.
