The search for love happens in a place where angels fear to tread. A man is walking on the edge of deep woods, holding an old wooden case. A white owl in the trees takes notice of him and swoops down. In a puff of smoke the owl transforms and becomes a beautiful female apparition. The “Girl” warns him against going further in these woods. The man stops and he sets his wood case on a fallen tree trunk. He opens it. Inside is an old fashioned turntable, a wind-up phonograph he cranks before carefully placing the needle on an old, black vinyl record. The music crackles and plays and a story unfolds. He experiences a vision: he is approaching an exotic country estate with its entranceway resembling an exotic, metal bird cage. He’s there and he steps in and sees the Girl waiting for him. He pursues her, but she is always one step ahead, able to disappear by magic, or secretly walking behind him, uncatchable. Finally, the man is able to engage her in just one loving dance with the song that is still playing. But the beautiful apparition suddenly pulls away, fading away into thin air. And just as the music fades she deserts him. The vision gone, there at the edge of the woods, the man, abandoned by love, begins his long trek into his lonely future, literally, into his sunset with many miles ahead of him. As he departs into the stormy dark cloud fields, the owl screeches from her nest above the man. Abandoned by the man, the owl transforms one last time to the Girl Who

Dark Lens

Dark Lens

2021 • 3 min • France
👁️ 297
A woman takes a photo of herself and disappears. An impression movie, the projection of an inner world, haunted by fear. A pop world, framed and colored in echo to Antonioni's blow up, and Powell's films. A quest for meaning in the image, its projection and the disappearance of the soul in the frame, to the point of getting lost and being only a shadow of ourselves. Intentions: Two films made an impression on me when I was younger: Powell's Peeping Tom and Antonioni's Blow up. Both films are English, and the image processing is very organic. The actors are completely invested and inspired, confusing, on the edge. Crazy, obsessive. Dark Lens is mixing acting and image. The beauty of fear embodied in a look and captured in a frame. A Pop/rock film, English style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHgP1ZuCCOo AWARDS:

This is the story of sulky twin sisters on holiday in Venice who quarrel with their mother over their desire for a dog. She leaves them alone to see a client and they fight over her favourite necklace and break it.

Out on their own for the very first time, they are distracted by toys, take a gondola ride, and visit a costume museum. In a dead end lane they realise they are lost and do not even know their address. They wander aimlessly losing clothing, playing in canals, chasing pigeons, and spending their money on pizza. They begin to see the value of money and the acuteness of hunger, and wonder if perhaps they expect too much. No longer with enough cash to buy a necklace for their mother, they find her a gift nonetheless. Happening upon the Goldoni Museum they remember that Goldoni's statue is near their apartment and a stranger gives them directions home. Racing through dark lanes and over bridges, they return to their desperate mother and give her the gift they purchased - a Venetian glass puppy. AWARDS:
