Film of the Week: The Duel At Blood Creak
The Duel At Blood Creak by Leo Burton (2010) (UK) (14m)
The Duel At Blood Creak was selected by Daazo as their favourite European short film from the fourth FILMSshort competition. Blood Creak is the name of a popular site where men settle matters of honour with an old-fashioned duel. Unfortunately, it proves too popular today and several would-be duellers arrive at the same time. The bickering and posturing builds until the fighting begins...
Sintel by Colin Levy (2010) (US/Holland) (15m)
It's that time of year - competition time! - that I plug competition judge Colin Levy's fantasy animation film, Sintel. It closely resembles a well-liked style of Japanese (Anime) computer animation. It is the story of a young girl on an all-consuming quest to save the pet dragon stolen from her - and exact her revenge. What Sintel lacks in subtlety is made up for by its beauty, ambition and cool ending. Levy is an artist who understands film language.
