Diseară la 20.00 pe Parfumului 19 în Casa KERIM vă prezentăm 5 scurtmetraje premiate.

Filmele noastre premiate te vor transporta în haosul celui de-al Doilea Război Mondial, unde două surori tinere ascund un dezertor german, dizolvând frontiera dintre prieteni și dușmani în „The Irrepressible”. O furtună puternică aduce împreună în mod întâmplător trei personaje într-o sală de bowling, luate prin surprindere de o pană de curent în „Gutter”. Jack își pune partenerele din nou în situații limită în scurtmetrajele „Shark” și „Bear”, în timp ce Leonidas, un artist excentric, fabrică o relație între soția sa și un cuplu mai tânăr în căutarea inspirației, în „What is Left of Us”.

Film Director, Valerio Vestoso was born in Benevento in 1987.

In 2009, he writes "Erennio Decimo Lavativo", a theatrical comedy directed by Ugo Gregoretti, and then he lands to the short film with "Tacco 12", a mockumentary about the obsession for group dance that gets more than 40 awards all over Europe. In 2016 he writes the show "Buena Onda" with Rocco Papaleo and Giovanni Esposito, wins the Premio Solinas - Bottega delle Serie with the screenplay "Flash" and directs numerous branded content and TV commercials.

He is the author of the surreal chansonnier Enzo Savastano (Satire Award 2019), director of the short film "Ratzinger Vuole Tornare" (in selection at the Nastri D'argento) and the documentary "Essere Gigione", dedicated to the king of Italian street parties. In 2019 he signs the direction of the video content of Serena Dandini's program "Stati Generali" and writes the screenplay of the series "L'Avvocato Malinconico", based on the novels by Diego De Silva. He is among the authors of the TV program "Una pezza di Lundini", on air on Raidue.

Valerio Vestoso, Director of “Le Buone Maniere”writes:

“The story of Mimmo Savarese is not taken from a true story, but probably in the world there are similar ones. How many children have watched helplessly the destruction of their childhood?

How many have suffered the anguish of fate that has put them in the middle of a murky game in which they had nothing to do? Unlike the others, however, Mimmo has the good fortune to convert mourning into a gift, dispelling the myth that a trauma is always followed by silence.

His trauma is followed by words, or rather endless words that will become the pillars of his profession. With these assumptions, a short film with pop nuances has been created, which tries to fathom the fundamentals of criminality with an ironic, sometimes cynical eye, letting in a decidedly sui generis character, inadequate, who, however, has an ancient and unforgettable credit towards that world.”

💫 LE BUONE MANIERE, directed by Valerio Vestoso is our 2022 award winner for BEST SHORT OF THE YEAR!

Un rollercoaster emotional ne poarta prin 8 povesti pe cat de diverse, pe atat de prezente in realitatea in care traim.
De la frica desprinderii dintr-o relatie co-dependenta, pana la portretul ultimei zile din viata unui scriitor in Primul Razboi Mondial.
Calatorim prin insule pustii, vorbim despre un mod de a cultiva sustenabil si ne cufundam in muzici pline de suspans care prind viata.

An emotional rollercoaster takes us through 8 stories that are as diverse as they are present in the reality in which we live.
From the fear of separation from a co-dependent relationship, to the portrait of the last day in the life of a writer in the First World War.
We travel through deserted islands, talk about ways of sustainable farming and immerse ourselves in suspenseful music that comes to life.

🤍 🎬 De văzut la proiecția Din Parfumerie { FILM in Focus - Proiecție de scurtmetraje

Estul si Vestul se confruntă într-o serie de 5 scurtmetraje premiate din spațiul european.

Elveția mereu neutră ne propune un film experimental (SHELTER) despre nevoia de a ne redescoperi. Franța ne urcă în Alpii înzăpeziți alături de ELIZABETH pentru o misiune secretă și modelează timpul și succesiunea evenimentelor în scurtmetrajul ALMOST.

Polonia propune tema răzbunării în videoclipul trupei Prababa - o bijuterie cinematografică, iar Ucraina cu Оптика / Optics ne pune față în față cu inevitabilele tranziții ale vieții: însurat-divorțat, condamnat-iertat, militar-civil, și ridică întrebarea - cm navigăm printre ele?

Ne vedem mâine seară la Hearth, pe Strada Parfumului 19.

East and West face each other in a series of 5 award-winning short films from the European area.

The forever-neutral Switzerland comes with an experimental film (SHELTER) about the necessity of self-discovery. France takes us up into the snowy Alps with ELISABETH on a secret mission and ALMOST reshapes time and the sequence of events.
Poland portrays the theme of revenge in the video of Prababa band - a cinematic gem, and Ukraine brings us face to face with the inevitable transitions of life: married-divorced, convicted-forgiven, military-civilian, and raises the question - how do we navigate between them - all these with the short film OPTICS.

⭐️ See you tomorrow evening at Hearth.
