For Short Film Saturday for most of the coming year I will revisit the animated shorts that were presented in snippets by the King of Cartoons on Pee-Wee’s Playhouse. And here you’ll get to see the whole thing.

In some recent ESPN sports documentaries I’ve seen like Unrivaled and Saving Sakic I’ve felt that the fact that both were produced in collaboration with the NHL they glossed over the Quebec Nordiques moving. It was mentioned but it’s one of those things that they wanted to move past as fast as possible. Therefore, in honor of Canada Day I share a short film and a web video segment about Canada’s once (and future?) eighth NHL team. The film is about the establishment of the team in WHA and the web video discusses some of their history joining the NHL and then moving.
The second video can be viewed here.

When I reintroduced Monochromatic Monday I didn’t really lay out a plan about how or when I’d bring back the themes mentioned in my Manifesto.
The good news is that I am bringing this theme back again after its revival in April. When your music video includes a title card and features a performance by a star actor like Barry Keoghan, then you’re definitely skewing toward the more cinematic side of things. There is also an introductory scene before the song begins adding to its cinematic bonafides.
You can watch it here.
Martin Scorsese has, of course, left an indelible mark on the craft of filmmaking. What may be less well known is that he has an impressive resume in other short form visual media. One of the more noticeable endeavors being the music video for Michael Jackson’s
“Bad”. This isn’t Scorsese’s first venture into the realm of directing commercials and/or short films that are ostensibly advertisements, however, his latest for Bleu de Chanel shows that Scorses always has an artistic direction.
Scorsese approached Chalamet asking him if he’d ever seen Fellini’s short Toby Dammit, he hadn’t but that was the inspiration here: Chalamet plays himself dealing with his fame and being a personality, while trying to balance the desire to be an artist against that reality.
While this selection one bends the definition of monochromatic as it does not remain in shades of gray, but the only color to break into this film is blue, as per the name of the fragrance. However, I share it here because the color is a main storytelling component and because it seems a bit short to share on a Saturday. Enjoy!
