Not always a trend though. I have a filmmaker friend from India, he only has one name no last names.

I 100% agree. Also it is definitely a choice, I personally cannot think/create like that.

However, some funds and grants in recent years have shown some more interest in those. It somehow gives the illusion you can achieve the proposed ideas.

and now they dare to call “indie” some Hollywood wannabe films with huge budgets that aim for that same level of commercial polish of the studio films.
The homogenization of cinematic language!! A VOD and distributor’s dream! The dangerous slow death of auteurs….

You may be happier seeing some stuff from the Quinzaine!

James, really? I never thought of it this way.

Of course! Yeah it is a great lineup, enjoy :)

I believe all of these titles are from last year’s edition of the Tiger Short Competition (2024), including my film. And yes, some have geo-blocking.

Will be good to see you there at my screening and others too!

gotta go find him in the wild

Thank you!

Sorry!
