2005 Nominated Shorts
Ryan, from Canada
Birthday Boy, from Korea
Eight different short films presented at the Doris Duke Theater at the Honolulu Art Academy. They were from all over the world. Some were animated. Each was interesting in it own way. I liked the one from Canada about a film maker who interviews another filmaker about his life and how he ended up an alcoholic and a street person. The characters are all bizarre looking, like this chap who appears to have become almost two dimensional and lying on a table. The last one from UK was quite sad, about a mother of 4 who lives in poverty, but spends her last few bits of money on a date with an old boyfriend, and leaves her children out behind the bar the whole time. Their meal consists of a bag of chips and a coke. They also eat some ribs a group of people drop on the street. All in all it was entertaining.
I will give it 4/5 acorns.
I also stopped at Blockbuster, since I had a free coupon and rented Hotel Rawanda, Zatoichi and Kunoichi. I didn't have time to watch any of them yet. Hope to tomorrow.
