Willow Review

Image

Three ladies long for parenthood in Willow (Vrba), a film whose exotic pictures and interpenetrating timeframes infer Milcho Manchevski's important 1994 Venice Golden Lion victor Before the Rain.

Empty Metal

Image
Bayley Sweitzer and Adam Khalil's element debut goes on the wavelengths of two restricting radical groups. A film for craftsmanship house benefactors who can both relate to those whose governmental issues push them toward boundaries and see the absurdity in these motivations, Empty Metal focuses on undercover radical gatherings who share more for all intents and purpose than they'd might suspect. In their first element, Bayley Sweitzer and Adam Khalil try different things with narrating modes, joining story and artificial doc styles with arrangements that would be at home in craftsmanship display video establishments.
