Selected Reviews

The Seal of Death 2
directed by Harris Josey

A highly refined thriller short film. It all begins when Tony Han, a former detective, receives a "Seal of Death" letter threatening his honour and life, and he travels to New York to track down the person responsible, Shang Lee, the Yakuza's leader.

The cinematography is excellent and in sync with the pace of the film. The camera movements and shots effectively convey a strong sense of suspense and action. The performance of all the actors is intense and convincing, creating a high level of tension. The monochromatic colour scheme effectively conveys a strong sense of dark atmosphere.

★ Best Thriller & Best Trailer — June 2023
Harris Josey is an award-winning writer/director based in Birmingham, Alabama, with a BA in Media Production from Birmingham Southern College.
The Typical Day of an Effective Jobseeker
directed by Alexandre Bedenko

The tone of the film is intimate, and the actor is directed in a very direct and authentic manner. The director is clearly familiar with the subject matter, addressing it with elegance and sometimes ironic flair. All of these elements combine to make this film resemble neorealistic works.

As in a documentary, the camera remains still in the main character's home or follows him throughout the day. Anton Kiva's cinematography is very natural and authentic. Vladimir Bedenko delivers intense and realistic performances, and the dialogue appears lifted from real life.

★ Best Actor Feature Film — February 2023
Alexandre Bedenko was born in the Soviet Union in 1990, graduated as a film director from VGIK (Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography) in 2016.
For I Am Dead
directed by Patricia Delso Lucas

A dark, surreal drama set in late-1800s Europe. Oscar, a wealthy but lonely middle-aged man living in an extravagant chateau filled with wine, courtesans, and opium, confesses his love for his gardener Jude before he dies of his excesses.

The director masterfully builds a dark atmosphere through cinematography, costumes, and set design. The acting is always believable and intense, especially Al Nazemian as Oscar. The script uses minimal but always effective dialogue, treating its main theme with great personal delicacy. David Feral's sound design creates a strong expressionistic effect.

Patricia Delso Lucas earned her MFA in Film Directing at Skillset Screen Academy in Scotland. Nominated for the BAFTA Scotland New Talent Award in 2010.
Timeless Love
directed by Breton Tyner-Bryan

A dance short film about a man who surrenders to his love for a woman, who becomes his inspiration for stepping into his heart and loving freely. In a time when everything is screaming, this film tells its story in a very intimate way, with a beautifully old-fashioned mood.

Travis Tuft directs superb choreography. Dominick Sivilli's cinematography tells this story through the colours of feeling. The editing is fluid and delicate, following the rhythm of the music. As the frames roll by, the editing disappears behind them — a truly engaging pace.

★ Best Dance Film (Short) — April 2022
Breton Tyner-Bryan has been featured at Barcelona, Madrid, Nice, and London international film festivals, among many others.
