Four Kick Ass Short Films.

I was watching TV today, just as I had my breakfast, and there was this propaganda about a short film festival. My curiosity was picked so of course I went to my computer and started searching for some short films. I ran into some that were pretty stupid and of horrid resolution, topic, and style. Yet there were some that were absolutely mind-blowing.
I decided to share them with you. Lemme know what you think, aye?

This one was made by someone from my country. It’s entitled “Red/Rojo”, its suspense, and it will make a bit more sense if you can read Spanish, but I’m sure you’ll understand it anyway. Here’s the link:

Now, this one’s quite amazing. The way its filmed and edited is really awesome, and the whole concept of it is, as I said before, completely mind-blowing. I especially like the dialogue and the actor’s take on it. Think V for Vendetta meets Saw meets...God? Haha, It’s really cool to say the least: profound and tricky. This one’s my favorite. Oh, the name’s “The Black Button”. The link’s here:

Okay, next in line is an awesome halloween film. It talks about a pumpkin. “The Life and Death of a Pumpkin” is original, has some amazing photography and is both extremely hilarious and wickedly sad. Kinda makes you look at pumpkins in a different light, poor things. Here’s the link:

And then there’s this one. I read that the magic in it is not the film itself but the reaction people had to them. This one’s not his work but similar to what he did. So I leave you with one last film, whose ‘actor’ and coactor are pretty damn famous. Here’s Andy Warhol and a hamburger... I’m so not kidding.
