Dym (2007)
9/10
Great short film with nifty camera work.
6 November 2010
I haven't seen many short films, but as a aspiring filmmaker, I hope to make a lot. So watching other peoples' short films really gives a lot of insight and ideas into what a good filmmaker should or should not do.

This one manages to hit the right notes.

Practically no dialogue is spoken, but the actors manage to show all one needs to know about the characters perfectly. They certainly have a professional quality to them.

The story is very eerie and mysterious, while seemingly making no sense at all. It's surreal, but it's artistic. And like any good art piece, it can be viewed in many different ways and give a different reaction to many people.

The editing and cinematography are fantastic - definitely the stand-out aspect. It really gives the on-edge, creepy feel and helps move the ambient music in the right direction. I absolutely loved it.

As a filmmaker myself, this inspires a bit of hope in myself by reminding me that film isn't about telling, it's about showing. It's about making art out of film.
