Howl
If one of my favourite creators of animated short films Eran Hilleli is describing a film as “rare perfected beauty“, I know its something I have to see. Sharon Michaeli and Natalie Bettelheim’s Howl, a beautifully animated tale of a mother struggling to control her animalistic child is as about as raw and tender as [...]

En Agosto
Two years in the making, Andrés Barrientos and Carlos Andrés Reyes’ En Agosto is a hugely ambitious and complex animation that spans time and delivers its viewers a bleak glimpse into a future world. Employing a heady mix of 2D and 3D animation, En Agosto’s style and panache compliments the depth of its narrative perfectly. [...]
Kickstart Man-child

You wait around for months and months hoping against hope that the filmmaker you really respect, the one who’s proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that they support the filmmaking community and is working ceaselessly each and everyday to help all of us make it to the top of [...]

Much in the same vein as the Cults Go Outside promo we posted last month, director Ben Giladi transported members of Monti Fiori into a selection of 60s & 70s horror flicks (ALUCARDA, Mask of Satan, Devils of Darkness, Viy, The Bloody Judge) for their track Bella. via videos.antville MONTI FIORI – BELLA from Sunny [...]
