The Outsiders
Director Maksim Razumnikov warns us that The Outsiders are the only ones who ‘know what hides behind the fluppy colorfull creatures. Nothing will stand on their way to clean this world from cuteness.’ The Outsiders from Maksim Razumnikov on Vimeo.
Stock on Fire
A quick search of the word ‘Skate’ on Directors Notes will tell you we’re pretty big fans of the skate video and now following on from Extremities and Lakairomania, Jason Freites Stock on Fire shows once again just how amazing this mini-genre can be. STOCK ON FIRE from FREITES jason on Vimeo.
RSSF2011: Documentary
Despite the resurgent interest in the feature documentary, the short documentary finds little chance to get the attention it deserves outside of rare venues such as 4Docs, so it’s great to see Rushes Soho Shorts give the form its own stage in the Documentary Category of the festival. The selected three finalists also show the [...]
RSSF2011: International
Live action, fictional work from outside the UK. On 8/8/08 the Russian Air Force commences bombing Georgian villages. People flee to the Georgian capital, Tbilisi. The fastest way to get to Tbilisi is via Gori. George Barbakadze’s dramatic short Via Gori is the taut tale of a Russian woman and her young daughter making this [...]
Sotw: Crossover

Bor Sood
There is a certain confidence in Kazakh animator Anna Shevchenko’s Bor Sood that you don’t see very often in short films. Her film progresses at an assured pace, features sparse animation and is accompanied by a haunting but minimalist soundtrack. Bor Sood feels like a film that has been made for the filmmaker and not [...]
Mirrored
French filmmakers The sons of Stan Brakhage present Mirrored an experimental film worthy of their namesake, on the act of artistic creation. Mirrored from The sons of Stan Brakhage on Vimeo.
RSSF2011: Shorts
With a festival entitled the Rushes Soho Shorts Festival, the Short Film category has to be considered one of the most important of the competition (I’m sure the organizers don’t see things this way, but the name kind of dictates it). With a restriction of 12 minutes in duration, these three fictional works from the UK are a [...]
