vimeo.comThe Quintet of the Sunset by Jie WengWinner of the Vimeo Staff Pick Award at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival - Short Film Corner. Directed by Jie Weng, produced by Realwood Studios (https://vimeo.com/realwood) and represented worldwide by Yilisoo Films (https://vimeo.com/yilisoofilms). "With impeccable craft and style, this Chinese animator creates a fantastical world where cats become the characters we’ve always imagined from assassins to superstars. Both playful and poetic, this animated short shifted our perspective and made us fall even more in love with our furry feline friends." - Vimeo Curation What we expect from the relationship with the animals reveals how we want to be treated and respected. The film focuses on the evolution and changes in the human beings’ life from the first-person perspective of an animal. In "The Quintet of the Sunset", five cats with distinguished personalities live their healthy and happy lives thanks to the care and love of their owner Gina. When Gina reaches the end of her life, they watch over Gina forever in their own way and their hearts beat as one with Gina’s heart. Characters, scenes and props are delicate artworks that deliver delicacy and tenderness to the film. This is where stop motion animation differentiates itself from other animation forms. Let’s now set off the touching voyage brought by the extraordinary stop motion animation!

I'd never heard of this! Wenders got various directors to sit in a room of the Martinez for 16 minutes during the festival. The Godard one is very, um, Godardian. ;-) #Cannes

Any thoughts?

Adam@arbrown.bsky.social

Saw Fjord tonight. Wouldn’t say it’s a *bad* movie. It reminded me a little bit of Anatomy of a Fall in that it poses a big fat “what do you think?” question to its audience. But Anatomy of a Fall was also very entertaining. Fjord is just heavy on top of heavy. Surprised it won the Palme at Cannes.

startrenddaily.topPalestinian Director Rakan Mayasi Follows Extraordinary StoriesIconoclastic Palestinian filmmaker Rakan Mayasi's first feature film, "No Eyes Slept Yesterday," made a splash at this year's Un Certain Regard in Cannes with its powerful, poetic take on a Bedouin community in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley. It's being screened in competition at the El Gouna Film Festival this week. Diversity He talked to the director. Inspired by Mayasi's grandmother, this is the story of two women who become pawns in a feud between tribes; It is performed in a forward-thinking style that owes much to Mayasi's mentor Abbas Kiarostami, but still has its own rhythm and a sensual, sometimes almost feverish, perspective.

Cringing at your old work isn't embarrassing, it's growth. I was listening to my 2023 album and there's one song I can barely get through now. It bugs me in ways I didn't notice before. That just means I've improved. You don't evolve without outgrowing old versions of yourself. #music #artists

This article, while more on directing, is still useful in how it discusses how Tarantino uses time management to his advantage, encouraging aspiring creators to do the same.
