- Leonard in Slow Motion, an eight-minute film from director Peter Livolsi, is a lovely example of what a short film should be. It follows a man whose life is lived entirely in slo-mo and his struggles with love, labor, and legerity. It’s simple but beautifully executed. Watch it here.
- Seven-minute La Petite Maison, from director Isaac Holland, is a curious blend of sweet and strange. In it, a man and his lover deal with misunderstandings and what it means to look through each other’s eyes – literally. The short has the potential to be off putting – it certainly was for me – but its universality and quirky oddity is enough to pull you in if you let it. Check it out here.
- The Paris Quintet in Practice Makes Perfect is an eleven-minute film by Benjamin Schuetze that is impressive both technically and dramatically. It tells the tale of five friends who are trying to live as authentic French artistés in a single room. The film is elevated by its betubaed score, complex choreography, and esoteric sensibilities.
