Sitara: Let Girls Dream (2019)
Nice short animation
Sitara is a dramatic pakistani short film distributed by Netflix. It's visually beautiful, without dialogues, and good character designs. It happens in the 70's - although I only know this because I read the synopsis - and I found interesting to see some similarities between the children of Pakistan and the kids of my homeland (Brazil) since both like to play with kites.
But I digress. This film deals with a delicate subject matter - and you will realize which theme it is way before the end, just pay attention to the difference ages of the main couple. I recommend this film, I hope to see more good animation from Pakistan!
Exit Strategy (2019)
Excellent short
Exit Strategy is a short based in the old idea of the time loop ("Groundhog Day" is even mentioned). However, this little film is very well directed, with an excellent script, good performance from the two main actors and an unexpected ending. Recommended!
Through You (2013)
Experimental but accessible short film
There's a thing I love in short films: the format allows the use of creative solutions and experiments that would be very strange and boring to see in a feature film.
That sort of experiments can be seen in Through You, a dutch animation which uses the technique of rotoscoping. A girl goes to a grocery store, and literally "pass trough" many persons in the way. There are some subtle meanings and happenings in her journey, with a smart use of colors.
Bottom line is: it's an experimental but accessible short. This can be seen legally for free at Vimeo. Highly recommended!
