TIFF 2010: Surreal Trailer For THE ADDER'S BITE

source Twitch
What I love about international festivals is the bigger they are the more likely a trailer of some sort will appear online and the darker and surreal they are I seem to be a sucka for them and THE ADDER'S BITE Falls under the category.
Firas Momani The Adder's Bite is a short 9 minute horror-sci-fi inspired by the workings of  famous German philosopher Nietzsche and this movie looks at the relationship of humans and parasites and our dependancy on both the look is very gritty to reminds me of Lynch's Dark City.
The movie has picked up a few awards including one at the Montreal short film festival maybe it'll do it again in a couple of weeks with Toronto Festival? Check out the trailer and synopsis after the break...

Richard E.Grant is THE MAN WHO MARRIED HIMSELF Trailer

To many people Richard E Grant will always been remember as been Withnail from the classic 1987 cult movie Withnail & I but now we can remember him by The Man Who Married Himself.

This is a new British comedy short written &; directed by Garrick Hamm which stars Warren Clark, Emilia Fox (whom I had a crush on when I was younger not realising she is only 1 year older than me!!!)and Celia Imrie all well known names within the British acting world.

What has struck me about this little trailer is the great usage of the graphics and how beautifully shot the movie looks well they do have award winning cinematographer  Michael Seresin (Harry Potter, Angela’s Ashes, Angel Heart).It look typically British: bright, funny, layered with a few dark undertones not forgetting  whacky.
The movie will be shown at 2 of America's prestigous film festivals LA Shorts Fest  which has a knack of selecting the short film s that go onto win the Oscar for best movie short! You can also catch the movie at Rhodes Island International Film Festival which actually can help the movie qaulify for a possible Oscar nomination.

A New Subtitled Trailer For Sergio Luca Lureni's R.O.A.C.H

R.O.A.C.H. teaser trailer Eng from RoachTheMovie on Vimeo.
source QuietEarth
a few weeks ago QuietEarth posted theis trailer online I didnt take much notice of it I dont Know why just didn't but now they have posted an English version of the trailer online and I'm glad now I'm checking it out.
The short movie has been created by Sergio Luca Loreni an is a brilliant looking amotspheric sci-fi cyberpunk movie first impressions Blade Runner is a big inspiration. I just wonder why so many moviemakers over do it on the CGI making it so obivous there walking past a big blue screen, it ruins possible good movies though this one looks not too bad though.. I dont know when this maybe available online if does ill post it here.

The story takes place in 2068 and is set in a place very similar to Minsk, the capital of Belarus which sits nestled on the borderline between Russia and Europe, called New Minsk. In this future incarnation, corporations have near complete control of industry and communication. The story follows one man who rises up against one of the most powerful multinational corporations exposing the company’s genetic experimentation project code named R.O.A.C.H.

Noel Clarke in Sci-Fi Noir short REIGN OF DEATH

source LiveForFilm


Having a search through the mysterious world called the world wide web to bring you some goodies for you to enjoy and came across this little cracker of a movie short starring "I'm in everything British made " Noel Clarke.
The short movie is called REIGN OF DEATH and was created by Matthew Savage it's a CGI short movie similar in style as 300, Sin City.When you watch the trailer it's like a fallback to the old film noir mixed up with fritz lang inspired sci-fi...pulp science fiction! It's a simple story of  a 1930s vision of the future and gumshoe chases down a robotic murder suspect, the movie came out last year but cinehouse wasn't around when this came out, so enjoy!

Dean Francis Short VERMIN

source QuietEarth
I dont have much information on this little short, but Vermin is an excellent 22 minute short from actor/director Dean Francis . This dude did alot of work in Australia despite been born up north in Newcastle, but I have to say im utterly impressed, as an artist you create something to express yourself and this little short express Francis talent to create something off the wall which will disturb but will also get you enjoying the whole thing as well.
Vermin is shot in grey montone which gives the whole movie a very dystopian feel, all I can really say is watch and enjoy!!!

A GIANT animation short

sourceTwitchFilm
I was a bit unsure how to give this post a title without giving it a dodgy title which sounded like a punt, anyway below is a sweet , simple short animation called GIANT. The movies are only about minute or more long and are part of a series which takes us through the world of giants with a few untold truths & conflict.
Each episode will focus on a different giant and so nice to see something thats kind to the eye, series created by Yann Benedi enjoy...

Alex Nakone's Horror Short MR.MORAG'S HELICAL DREAM'S

source QuietEarth
Cloning has been a very sensitive subject some people see the advantages of cloning when all other options have been used whilst others are against it simply down to its ethical morals. If you think about it some surgery we already use artifical body parts/limbs (heart,knee,hips, etc...) but over the years the cloning of a living human or animal has raised the biggest issues. It's been done in the movies like in the island where the clones end up having the sense of whats going on, so maybe thats one of the issues would clones be better than the real thing? We could go on forever.
Mr Morag's Helical is a short movie by Alexander Nakone which looks at the thought of a human receiving cloned human body parts. The acting aint fantastic it's the messege of the film, if you where on death's door and the only way to cure you was using cloned human body parts what would you do?
Check The movie out after the break...

Watch This: Animated Short AZUREUS RISING

source QuietEarth
Well its been nearly 5 weeks since I posted something on the blog but here we go again and we kick off with a little cracker of a animated sci-fi short called AZUREUS RISING.

Yep you will see alot of cliches and similar stuff from other movies with Matrix looking like its biggest inspiration but this is not a dig at this movie. The movie world be it animated or real world the movie genres have been used so much so its no surprise you'll see cliches but its what you do with them and create them into something different is what makes movies great and the team behind Azureus have done that.

Whats good about this is that this short movie hasn't taken the gritty realism route many of the current crop of movies have taken. The movies main character is a freedom fighter but who he is fighting we dont really know but the whole thing just looks so good we dont really care!!!

There is a plan to possibly expand this into a trilogy possibly as a trilogy of shorts or even full length live actions, check out the offical website here,

Short Film: Guy Maddin's NIGHT MAYOR

source ThePlaylist
Below is the latest short film from Guy Maddin called NIGHT MAYOR.

The film is about Nihad Ademi, an inventor from Bosnia who immigrates to Winnipeg. He builds, with his children, a machine called the "Telemodium" which uses the waves of Aurora Borealis to broadcast footage of "every day life for every day people." The footage is shown in different parts of Canada, coast to coast. Eventually, people begin to take to these images and start broadcasting their own, that is, until the police get involved.

The movie lasts 13 minutes and is shot in glorious black and white like his previous work of My Winnepeg a documentary about Maddin's home city. The whole style I would describe as experimental, original shot in the style of the black & white movies of the early 1900's  and this short movie is online courtesy of NFB -National Film Board of Canada and they describe the auteur as "an imaginative cinematic riff on the significance of a public film producer." Guy Maddin is very new to me and when I watched this short I got the feeling I liked what I was watching but if you asked me why I couldn't say but he is a very proud Canadian and his previous cv contains alot of Canadianesque projects, check it out Night Mayor below;

Trailer For Phillip Bacon's YELLOW BELLY END

 Source TwitchFilm
When I was studing Graphic Design at Salford University visually I tried to create a style that was minimal, effective as well as eye catching and YELLOW BELLY END definitely has those things.

Created by Phillip Bacon who was a illustration student at Manchester University and this was actually his graduation project and in this day and age it's very rare for an graduation project to be noticed. It's very absurd, obscure piece of animation, but to me its Bacon's visual style that makes me want to watch this. Hopefully the full animation will find itself online soon, meantime check out the trailer/clip below;
