Film Review: ORNAMENT OF BEAUTY, (USA, Thriller/Fantasy)
This short and stunningly beautiful film comes to us from the USA. Set squarely in the realm of fantasy and inspired by Shakespeare’s’ Sonnets, ORNAMENT OF BEAUTY follows a beautiful maiden running through a graveyard, forced to face the voices that plague her and the visions that haunt her.
The film boasts sumptuous cinematography, gorgeous editing and brilliant casting. All the elements are delightful but what really shines if the aesthetic design. The Production design and production value make this work a cinematic joy to behold. The costumes, set and scene are meticulous and there is clearly painstaking detail taken in every aspect. The hard work pays off, and ORNAMENT OF BEAUTY is a gorgeous film, inside and out.

Film Review: WINE AND EGGS, (Turkey, Drama)
WINE AND EGGS, a five minute Turkish film is equal parts mysterious and thrilling. It leaves us constantly guessing as to the hidden story that is never revealed. A slightly disheveled and exhausted husband comes home from the rainy weather to greet his innocent and beautiful wife, who has been waiting for him at the window. She convinces him to go across the street for eggs to make dinner- and he finally relents. When he leaves however she is pours herself glass of wine and watches (without a trace of surprise) as he is hit by a car.
We never know what has happened between them- but how accurately that mimics real life. After all, do any of us really ever know what goes on inside the relationship of our closest friends or net door neighbours? Behind closed doors, what secrets do we all keep? Whatever secrets lied between these two lead to a dark and sinister end.
Beautifully casted and with a subtle, smoldering sensuality, there’s something irresistible about this film- it pulls at you seductively, begging you to sit and ponder what details to you may have missed to undercover our heroines motives. To make a guess yourself, you’ll have to watch WINE AND EGGS.

Film Review: TRAIN, (Israel, Animation/Music Video)
A lovely musical piece childrens’ animation piece, TRAINS describes a parents playtime ritual with their small child. A lovely, beautiful piece bursting with bright watercolors, fun shapes and musical magic, this three minute Israeli film will transport you straight back to childhood.
Much like watching fun song from sesame street or your favorite children’s show, TRAINS will sweep you up in it’s joyful, youthful whimsy. If you can remember a time from youth when you became totally engrossed in your play-time, then you can sense the moment TRAINS attempts to capture in its viewers. If you are a kid at heart, it will succeed.

Film Review: A LETTER FROM LETICIA, (Argentina, Animation)
This colorful and beautiful film comes to us from director Irene Blei with a powerful story. Telling the story of Leticia Veraldi, a teenage girl who goes missing after school one day, after her parents move her from her home to her friends’ home in Cipolletti. One of many stories coming out of Argentina in the 1970’s during a time of political and social unrest.
A fascinating and heart breaking story about one young and vibrant life vanishing tragically, it is a testament to a tragic part of Argentine history not soon to be forgotten.What is unique about A LETTER FROM LETICIA is it’s intricate duality of media- it is half colorful and bright animation, and half stoic documentary. The affect is the in the first half of the film we are pulled into the bright and vibrant world of youthful childhood- and in the second, we are pushed into the harsh black-and-white reality of crimes gone unsolved. Moving and powerful, A LETTER FROM LETICIA is a strong and compelling piece.
