MERKUR
by Amanda Lomonaco

Review of the short film.
Played at the September 2015 WILDsound FEEDBACK Film Festival.

I’ve never liked the saying “a picture is worth 1,000 words.” I’ve often believed pictures can lie just as well, and just as often as words can. After watching this film I’m not so sure anymore that conviction.

Merkur is quite a simple animation, with simple, humanoid characters, basic chunky background structures, and an intricate play on light to enhance the composition. With these very basic structures, two minutes, and no dialogue, the makers of Merkur create a beautiful short film, that expresses and emphasizes the importance of curiosity, and exploration.

This series incorporates such an amazing number of things, I often have trouble understanding all the different things it makes me feel. This film series is a celebration urban spaces, public life, dance, motion, & freedom, among so many other things. It demonstrates how the movement of our everyday lives somehow simultaneously clashes & fuses with the mechanics of the metropolis, while also illustrating how well dance mimics the pattern of our daily lives.

For those who need traditional plot lines and story-telling techniques the “Moving Cities” can be a bit tough to swallow. However, even at the most superficial level it’s…

LIFE IS BUT A DREAM
by Brian O’Flaherty

Asleep at the wheel,
I wake up in a dream.
Real, is what I believe.
Knowing light through dark,
the contrast, stark,
and myself, in-between.

Lost River
by CF Lane

Sara jumped in to the icy waters after her dog.
He had slipped into the raging river.
The world went black as she saw him scramble ashore.

My Breath Caught
by CR Smith

Your beauty overwhelmed me, drew me forwards, outstretched hand reaching for a connection, until a man whispered not to touch the painting.
