The story is about the adventures of Leon the bear during winter time. Watched this at the "We Are One film festival.
Liked how the film tackled serious issues like discrimination based on one's looks! Also liked the budding friendship among the elephant, the bear and the hedgehog!
The story is about the adventures of Poppety during autumn time. Watched this at the "We Are One film festival.
Liked the part where the whale asked everyone to tell him their secrets! The secret came as a surprise for me as I hadn't watched "Leon in Wintertime" yet which was supposed to be the first in the series.
The story is about the adventures of Bonnifacio during summer time. Watched this at the "We Are One film festival.
Liked how proactive the bad guy was to figure out a way to climb up the mountain! The princess and her friends saved the day again!
The story is about the adventures of princess Molly during spring time. Watched this at the "We Are One film festival.
Liked the resourceful Molly and the friendship among the bear, the elephant and the hedgehog! The bad guy was really evil too! Great use of language to refer to the wild bear as bare naked!
The story is about how women in Ukraine dated men from United States. Watched this at the "We Are One film festival.
Liked the translator scene and the twist towards the end! The translator did a good job in saying what needs to be heard!
The story is about what happened when a young man saw a pretty girl on the bus. Watched this at the "We Are One film festival.
Liked how the bus was packed with people and how the young man was able to fix his gaze at the pretty girl despite the distractions! Thought the eating orange scene was a little bit too suggestive though.
The story is about a woman re-visiting her childhood home. Watched this at the "We Are One film festival.
This film caught my eye as it was from an unknown film festival: the guadalajara film festival. Liked the eerie stop motion animation! Reminded me a bit of the movie Coraline. Ending was a little bit too scary for me though.
This is a collection of five short stories about motherhood: In Your Hands, The Package, The Right One, Spit and The Sign. Watched this at the "We Are One film festival.
Liked the plot in "Spit" and the black and white cinematography in "The Sign"! I was amazed by how the different issues faced by a mother could be described in a such a short time!
The story is about a middle aged woman who moved to Taiwan fifteeen years ago going back to her hometown in Macau to visit her friends. They used to work together in a massage parlour. Watched this at the "We Are One film festival.
Liked the flashbacks to Macau in the past and the strong sisterly friendship! The film reminded me a little of "Only Yesterday", especially towards the end where the protagonist saw her old self.
The story is about a grandmother's relationship with her grandchildren and her personal digital assistant. Watched this at the "We Are One film festival.
Liked how the grandmother treated the robot just like a human being! Bad idea to upgrade as it erases everything it has learned!
This is a series of 15 short stories by local film directors.
My favorite films were "Plague", "The Listener" and "Shanti". I liked the drama within the small flat in "Plague", the nice soothing voice in "The Listener" and the ordinary unassuming hero in "Shanti"! Learned a bit about history in "Still Standing" and "Majid the Legend". Thought "The Brown Dog" and "The T(h)ree Lives" were well shot too!
The story is about how a young black girl grew up hating how she looked but finally accepted who she was. Watched this at the "We Are One" film festival.
A very nice animation with smooth flowing transitions, words flashing across the screen and voice over narration that sounded like a poem!
