Film of the Week:
- LXIV by Damian Livesey
LXIV by Damian Livesey (2011) (UK) (3m) *
LXIV (64 in Roman numerals - see if you can work out why!) is dedicated to Damien's father, Jack, who died in 2009. A beautifully shot montage, it was his final year film from Staffordshire University, England, and pieces together a dazzling array of shots that condense our existnece into a three-minute film. It was a finalist in the very first FILMSshort competition in the summer of 2011 and was chosen by Daazo.com as the best European entry.
A Conversation With Daniel by Crowley/Acocella ('12) (US) (7m)
Daniel the Beagle, a stray in an Alabama shelter, was destined to die as one of millions of animals euthanized each year in America. Somehow he survived despite all the other dogs in the chamber dying. He has become famous for this feat and, as a result, he’s campaigning with his owner, Joe Dywer, to end the use of gas chambers in America. This video, filmed and edited by DIGImmortal Photo, details his journey and calls for the public to help him as he works to ban this inhumane form of euthanasia.
