НовостиКинофестиваль в Торонто опубликовал конкурсные инстаграм-фильмы

В официальном аккаунте Международного кинофестиваля в Торонто начали появляться фильмы финалистов открытого конкурса минутных фильмов: на момент написания этого текста их 13, всего участников должно быть 30.

В начале июля авторы короткометражек опубликовали их под тегом #TIFFxInstagram, после чего члены жюри выбрали тех, кто будет соревноваться за приз зрительских симпатий. В этом году жюри кинофестиваля состоит из шести человек, среди них режиссёры Ксавье Долан, Джеймс Франко и Ава Дюверней, оператор Бен Ричардсон, актриса Приянка Чопра, фотограф Набил Элдеркин и художница Рэйчел Райл. 

Организаторы конкурса предлагают проголосовать за понравившиеся фильмы лайками — тот, кто наберёт больше всех, получит специальный приз фестиваля. Как и ожидалось, работы финалистов очень разные: среди них есть и нежная фантастическая история о художнике и его музе, и кадры с шумных похорон доминиканского рэпера, и триллер по мотивам книги Роальда Даля, и сай-фай о грустном космонавте. Скоро все тридцать фильмов появятся в инстаграме фестиваля, победителя определят 17 августа.

There is such a smart eye, and a sense of storytelling. The camera is always in the right place. It's truly impressive." ​#shortfilm #digitalshort #filmfestival #syria #refugeecamp

#TIFFxInstagram Shorts Festival: UK-based filmmaker Fred Tilby-Jones' STALKERS is a dark and gripping fairytale, inspired by Roald Dahl's 'The Magic Finger'. STALKERS is a suspenseful thriller with a twist ending which we didn't see coming. Neither did #TIFFxInstagram judge @nabildo who called it "smart, funny and really well executed." #shortfilm #digitalshort #filmfestival #albroderick #jaredwatmuff #jimjolli and #baalruns​ Credits to: @jaredwatmuff @albroderick @jimjolli Roel Fox @dannydwebb @saulbragman​

#TIFFxInstagram Shorts Festival: LOLA (@lola_shortfilm) is German filmmaker Francesca Pollak's subversive take on Vladimir Nabokov's novel, Lolita. It follows the story of a young woman who ​becomes infatuated with an older man​, the owner of a local deli​.​ Through the film's non-linear narrative, we learn that she also has a relationship with the deli owner's son. LOLA is an abbreviation for the German phrase, "Los Lassen" which translates to: let go. This is just one of many clues that makes up the complex world of Lola. #shortfilm #digitalshort #filmfestival

#TIFFxInstagram Shorts Festival: CLARA is US filmmaker Dave Merson Hess' (@nightherontv) animated tribute to being 14. He​re, Hess recontextualizes ​legendary BBC radio DJ John Peel, whose touching on-air reading of a letter from a teenage listener in 1981​ has affected and stayed with him​ for years.​ "Clara's feelings are universal. I cried the first time I heard this. It's a testament to John Peel's kindness, the sacramental importance of music to teenage life, and to the power of capital "R" radio," said Hess. ​#shortfilm #digitalshort #filmfestival #animation #stopmotion #animatedshort Directed & Animated by: @davemh Produced by:​ ​@jimmyfusil Featuring: @j9wz Rotoscoping by: @davemh & Christina Wagner Audio via John Peel Archive Music by @matsumixu
