The Venice Film Festival posted 70-ish short films online to commemorate their 70th anniversary. I watched them gradually over the past year. These are the ones I did not care for. Favorites are here<\/a> and the rest here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Apichatpong Weerasethakul<\/strong><\/p>\n

Visual: driving straight road in the rain through wipers
\nAudio: ocean with seagulls<\/p>\n

Jean-Marie Straub<\/strong><\/p>\n

Single silent shot of pages relaying some quotes about death in a couple of French films.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Llu\u00c3\u00ads Galter<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fuzzy slow-mo long shots of people near water.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Karim A\u00efnouz<\/strong><\/p>\n

Search party? Man in orange vest with flashlight helmet vanishes into mist.<\/p>\n

Bernardo Bertolucci<\/strong> – Red Shoes<\/em><\/p>\n

Electric Wheelchair drives over rough street.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Amos Gitai<\/strong><\/p>\n

Still photos of a man on beach crossfade while Jeanne Moreau speaks of a poem (or perhaps not literally a poem).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lav Diaz<\/strong><\/p>\n

Handheld shot through an upper-floor window as an elderly person slowly walks down the street, then a poetic voiceover kicks in.<\/p>\n

Todd Solondz<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ridiculous course catalog of a Chinese film history program 1000 years in the future, using an early-80’s-looking screen with early-90’s-sounding text-to-speech.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Marlen Khutsiev<\/strong> – In Perpetuum Infinituum<\/em><\/p>\n

Chekhov and Tolstoy are having a motion-picture portrait taken. Then: champagne, war footage, a brass band and a giant Viva Cinema intertitle.<\/p>\n

Tobis Lindholm<\/strong> – The Hit<\/em><\/p>\n

Two camoflaged jeeps are driving. Bomb!<\/p>\n

Claire Denis<\/strong><\/p>\n

Overheard conversation gives way to a noisy Tindersticks song. Is it that she can’t be bothered to find new music, or does she truly love Tindersticks that much? Camera seems to be inside a bag or under a scarf – I’m not convinced this short was even made on purpose.<\/p>\n

Rama Burshtein<\/strong><\/p>\n

Man is told to open his mouth. Finally he does. A dance song plays. Hunh?<\/p>\n

Semih Kaplanoglu<\/strong> – Devran<\/em><\/p>\n

Static shot of – what’s that, a tree? – with audio of thunderstorm and constant firefly flicker.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Franco Piavoli<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fire and yelling, then children and sunsets.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Amiel Courtin-Wilson<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rough-looking man plays a prolonged Amazing Grace on harmonica in close-up.<\/p>\n

Tusi Tamasese<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stills of some leaves, then of two people doing… I don’t know what, since it’s over already.<\/p>\n

Michele Placido<\/strong> – Yorick’s Speech<\/em><\/p>\n

Old guy says the youth of today are the future of filmmaking while a banal pop song plays.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Julio Bressane<\/strong><\/p>\n

Silent 16mm clips, then clips from 1960’s period epics, something like that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
