Graffiti by Charlie Norton When watching a film involving school years one would expect a bit of bullying or some kind of misbehavior but when you add to that an alcoholic and sick principal it is a definite recipe for disaster. “Graffiti” is a real intense and powerful piece of work that holds more than […]
The Programme by Antony Spina It is not everyday that we stumble upon a more than a good fictional documentary that is able to keep us on our edges for the entire projection time; this is exactly what “The Programme” was able to do, it is much more than just another documentary with a twist […]
Everything in Hardware by Jamie Wright The first thing that came to my mind before watching the work, was that I have to spend almost thirty minutes watching a documentary about someone searching for his roots with a twist of music (that’s going to be a really long half hour!!) but as soon as the […]
Muddy Water by Colby Cyrus It is always interesting to try and delve into the mind of someone who is on a guilt trip to try and discover how distorted they could become and how would they deal with the consequences of what they have done, as the director “Colby Cyrus” himself puts it: “ […]
Thick and Thin by Michelle Lewis It is always interesting to fall on a script with a twist (especially one that is totally unexpected) such as we have in “ Thick and Thin”.

The Wide Open Project by Oliver Birk Wisholm “When one door closes, another one opens”, a more than a strong and true hook statement to start off with, this film is a real psychological trip into the vast world of the human mind. The way that “Wisholm” combined singing, acting and animation enabled him to […]
The Last Letter by Benjamín Haverla It isn’t easy to be able to combine real live action events with animation and come out with a more than a satisfying outcome. Writer/Director “Benjamin Haverla” did a fine job following his “inner impulse” as he said and was able to put together a graceful and enjoyable piece […]
Mazloom by Marium Khalid Even though the title holds a lot of meanings and projects somehow what could be expected from watching the film, but the actual work is far more shocking and even traumatizing than its title. This film represents a magnificent and very expressive cry against “child marriages” who unfortunately still exist to […]
