St Kilda Film Festival reviews

Uncategorized

Here is my reviews of films I have seen already at the St Kilda Film Festival.  I am not going to review every film I see. Just a handful that I though should be noted and of interest to House of Jack Listeners.

 

Film – A Cautionary Tail

2012

runs 14.15 mins

Director- Pauline Piper

Great narration    (  Cate Blanchett Barry Otto David Wenham)

Delightful animation featuring a girl who has a tail.  The film is also a picture book.

Three and half stars out of five

 

 

Film – The comic King of Guatemala

2013

runs 9.5 mins

Director- Goerge Clipp Matthew Cleaves

My fave pick of the bunch.  Documentary style. Puts a smile on your face, we get transported to Guatemala and meet the owners and visitors to the comic store. The Doco was shot in three days by a crew of two. Impressive.

Four out of five stars

 

 

Film – Anima

2012

runs – 13.26 mins

Director – Scott Mannion

Cinematic in scope. Suits big screen. The narrator creates a virtual world of his own making. Part Sci Fi part drama a touching tale of loss and memory.

Four out of five stars

 

Film – Prick

2013

runs 4 mins

Director – Abe Forsythe

A world premeire at Astor. Joy audience may like this. Featuring Gay sex action.  All action not much plot.

Three and a half stars out of five

 

Film – Julian

2012

Runs- 13 .22

Director Matthew Moore

Julian is in year four and faces challenges that may even be life long.  A funny film that gets good performances from kids under twelve. This is Moores debut film. It won the Cyrstal Bear for best short at the 62nd Berlin international film Festival. Well worth a watch.

Four out of five stars

2012
