Shakespeare For All Ages
"How can you give the target and age
group "smartphone" an overview of the
work of this unique literary genius without
getting bogged down in long-winded
lectures on verse and drama theory? The
filmmaker and artist Hannes Rall has
turned this consideration into a very short
and yet for that very reason so great
animated film. (...) He succeeds in
depicting the poet's most famous plays
in an immediately recognizable way
with individual images that flow into one
another. A smart, entertaining and coherent Shakespeare
homage in about 3 minutes."
Puppy Love
Two Brooklyn singles fail to find love
online and instead get dogs to keep
them company. A chance
encounter revives their hopes that
real love may be possible for them.
Rudy
Set in the heart of rural England, Rudy
finds her relationship with her father being
tested. Stuck as a proxy parent to her
younger siblings and dealing with a
recent loss, she feels increasingly pushed
out when her home gets opened up to a
paying guest. Through a newfound
friendship with a boy from Coventry, Rudy
discovers fun, freedom and autonomy,
but is it at the sacrifice of unspoken family
wounds?
A poignant insight into love, loss and
moving on.
