Short Film Saturday: Blik
A simple dialogue-free tale about a young boy’s crush on a new older neighbor. Intriguing primitive design to the characters, well done all around. Enjoy!

Short Film Saturday: Demoni
I am not the audiophile my brother is so my lamentations of the lack of creativity in the music video is usually unfounded and based on a very ignorant familiarity with solely mainstream offerings. It’s usually on the independent scene in both film and music where the mavericks can be found. When they merge you get great things like Theodore Ushev’s short/video Demoni which highlights the eponymous single by Bulgarian folk band Kottarashky & The Rain Dogs.
Short Film Saturday: The Fly (1981)
I when watching this film preferred to take a textual approach rather than a subtextual one. Regardless, it’s one of the most impressive pieces of first-“person” perspectives I’ve seen. For more of a read and more of a background on this film check the post on The Dissolve that drew this piece to my attention.
Short Film Saturday: Katasumi (1998)
With this being the last Short Film Saturday entry before Halloween I figured it was time to kick up the selected horror film. Katasumi one of the short films that acted as a precursor to The Grudge films in the US, and Juon in Japan, does that in three short minutes: it features a simple set-up, unsettling soundtrack and a rate on incidents. Enjoy and Happy Happy Halloween (Silver Shamrock)!
Short Film Saturday: The Captured Bird
This is a fairly straightforward one. It is also a very effective at establishing atmosphere. The director will be taking on a Clive Barker story as a feature and this hopefully foretells of the kind of punch that film might have.
Short Film Saturday: Fantasmagorie (1908)
Glad to have found this online. I saw this first in a collection and it’s one of the finest shorts I’ve ever seen. Mutative animation in the very first animated short is incredible.
Short Film Saturday: Grace
To kick of the 61 Days of Halloween season here’s a very creepy short about a rather unusual birth. At the link below you can find more info, and both the film and a version replete with commentary.
Short Film Saturday: The Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon
This a great spoof that takes on a simple trope and exaggerates it brilliantly. It’s hilarious and effective as well. Enjoy!
Short Film Saturday: Hambuster
Just looking at the images should give you a pretty good idea of what this is about. The short is most definitely humorous and the gore is plentiful, and effective despite its animated nature. Enjoy!

Short Film Saturday: The Hidden People
After last week, surely you all need a slight reprieve. This short, is quite so, animate, has a bit of humor to it, but also plays the “cabin in the woods” formula, very well. Enjoy!
