EIFF2011: Artist Documentaries
Ever since it started out with a programme consisting solely of documentaries back in 1947, EIFF has always retained a special interest in non-fiction work, and this year was no exception. Indeed, buzz amongst the delegates seemed to suggest that the strength of this year’s programme lay, if anywhere, in its two documentary strands (‘UK’ [...]
Superstars Don’t Love
Travis Hopkins totally nails it with a music video comprised of over 60 fictional movie title cards inspired by the lyrics of the Buck 65 track “Superstars Don’t Love” BUCK 65 “Superstars Don’t Love” from Travis Hopkins on Vimeo. Hopkins seems to have a natural talent for the title sequence, as can be seen in [...]

EIFF2011: Quality Control
After a few brief introductory images, Kevin Jerome Everson’s Quality Control settles on a shot soaking in a small area of the factory-like dry cleaner’s facility in Pritchard, Alabama that the film takes as its subject. As the minutes tick by the shot continues to hold. A worker bustles in and out of frame. The [...]

Reminiscent of the work of Belgian animators Stephane Aubier and Vincent Patar, Cristian Wiesenfeld’s Missing is the story of how vanishing cows and strange lights from the sky break the silence of a tiny small village. Missing from Guanaco on Vimeo.
EIFF2011: Jack Goes Boating

After several years of directing theatre, predominantly (if not exclusively) for New York’s LAByrinth Theater Company, Philip Seymour Hoffman entered into his cinematic directorial debut relatively lightly (a ‘why not?’ moment, by all accounts) during talks about adapting Jack Goes [...]
Cutters | Play
I was totally blown away by Cutters from Turkish animator Ahmet Serif Yildirim, especially as I first took it to be a paper craft piece. However a scan through the Vimeo comments set me right as to the piece’s digital nature (created in Maya), which I think has left me even more impressed given the [...]
EIFF2011: My Brothers
Perhaps if Paul Fraser – writing partner of choice as far as Shane Meadows is concerned, having helped pen Dead Man’s Shoes, A Room for Romeo Brass and all of Somers Town (to name but a few) – had played to his obvious strengths as well as his loftier career ambitions, his directorial debut may [...]
