Intermission Rewatch: DUST
M1795537OCVirn
May 4th and 11th only, tune in to
https://www.youtube.com/@watchdust/about

First: Resistance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwBMn...wBMn3e9rWg (6 mins approx)

Second: The Stowaway https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VkUj...VkUjGQuSuA 12.5 minutes)

Third: Einstein-Rosen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMZbi...MZbig5t8Ug (8.5 minutes)

These should give you an idea of the sort of thing DUST filmakers worldwide are capable of. Three of my favourite intriguing, well-produced short films, covering animation, moral choices and humour.
Plenty more to choose from if we want more.

Why I like DUST

Dust filmmakers are usually independent, sometimes even amateur, and almost inevitably low-budget. The effects they achieve are stunning, whether by creating something that looks ultra hi-tech and/or by using simple tricks to tell the tale. In my experience most of the films listed on the site are well worth watching. And even if the cracks do show sometimes, at least they tried.

There are so many brilliant ideas to choose from! I have kept my selections fairly light, mindful of Horizon’s 13+ guidelines, but there is plenty of gruesome, suspenseful stuff in there as well, for those who are so inclined.

One of the things I particularly appreciate is that so many of the films use child actors. Presumably they’re less expensive, but also, they remind us that the future is theirs not ours.

Since many of the films are short, I wonder if it might be easier not to comment during them, but save it all for later? Not sure!

Hope you like them!

Looks like it.
I'm not usually a fan of animation, but Resistance is SO well done! The impassive faces, the threatening chef... so many brilliant details.

A great way to explore the gap between what the rules say and what you feel or know is right!

Most of my choices are from a while ago. Haven't had a lot of time for watching new ones recently.

Same for me, do you remember the animation one about a dystopian future for men on a motorcycle being chased by a space craft?

In Stowaway, there's not really even much dialogue but it's very powerful.

Sorry - as I said, watching has had to take a back seat. I'll look it up, though.

Have you seen Einstein-Rosen before?

Your description reminds me of that film 'The Road', I think it was.

It's a brilliant answer to the basic science fiction question of 'What if?'
Love the fact that it was his brother's toys he threw in!

Ok, I'm guessing you want to be off to bed already. Or is there one you'd like to choose before you go?

Rakka is a Oats not dust,but you like it,it's like a trailer/film thing,it's little bit graphic but very thought provoking and make a great full film

I'm not against graphic but this site has guidelines - maybe not one to watch here.
Have you seen Orion's Caravan?

A bit naff to start with but it gets better, IMO.

No need to shoot the Hugbot! It's not my fault that you missed the rewatch.
