“Bathtub” by M.A.Y.O.
I’m not sure what this short film is about, but I quite like it. Therefore, I’m posting it. I also love the 1960s French song (France Gall’s “Ne dis pas aux copains”) featured in it.

Short Film: “Embrio”
Embrio is an experimental short film made entirely by Jean-Sébastien Monzani (story, direction, film, & music), with amazing acting by Stéphanie Schneider.
What draws me to Embrio is its quality of implicit horror, conveyed through the actor’s subtle, ever-changing expressions (she really is the heart of the movie) and the eerie, intense, atmospheric soundtrack. Sans a conventional narrative, Embrio explores the compulsions, fixations, obsessions, and psychological reactions of a young woman, and, though very well-composed, it also has a rawness, depicting naked sensations and emotions with all the vagueness and ambiguity of good psychological horror – all within a clean, bright, well-lit, nearly sterile environment. It draws us deeply, physically, into the experience of the woman, and gets under our skin.

Two Trailers
A seductive trailer for Vaticinio that draws you in with lullaby softness, seemingly gravity-defying dance, and a horror edge. I thought it was a trailer for a movie initially, but it’s actually for a theatrical performance that took place last month in Cordoba, Argentina.
This is the teaser trailer for a short film, The Continuing and Lamentable Saga of the Suicide Brothers, which creates a quirky, enchanting, ethereal, and retro-tastic world with an interesting mix of live action and CGI. Available on iTunes. I also love Keira Knightley’s otherworldly appearance as the fairy near the end.
