THIS IS SHORT

NEW POINT OF VIEW

SCUM MUTATION

Watchable. Animation on rape and sexism, probably connected to some French street  demonstrations. It's too fast and violent to move but can make the viewer feel agitated. Artistic visuals keep flashing, the audio's full of shouting - I think I might have woken my neighbours.

WE STAND ON THE HILL, PROUD AND GENTLE, HEADING TOWARDS THE UNKNOWN AND DEATH

Watchable. The plot is relatable to anyone whose ways with others parted and even more so to anyone who's revisited a place where they've lived before only to find it all changed, even a railway disused. It would have been a fascinating essay, or poetry maybe, since some lines repeat. But with scarce visuals, it's barely a film.
