An evening pause: Hat tip Jim Mallamace, who was quite right when he said this nine minute animated film flies by in an instant.

An evening pause: The visuals come from the 2009 movie Up, and for me tell a much better story here.

Portrait of Lotte, 0 to 18 years
An evening pause: Somehow, to me, this seems a fitting introduction to the holiday season. From the youtube website, “Lotte from the Netherlands (Utrecht) becomes 18 years old in this film! Dutch filmmaker and artist Frans Hofmeester has been filming and photographing his children Lotte and Vince since birth. Every week the images are shot in the same style.”

Love These Days
Jean Mitry – Pacific 231
An evening pause: I would never sit through a performance of the music played during this 1949 short film showing the power of the steam locomotive. Juxtapositioned with the powerful images of the train in motion, however, this music works splendidly. The film itself is an example of the kind of short avant garde films produced during the 1950s and 1950s, and well worth watching.
Hat tip Blair Ivey.
The Last Day
An evening pause: This short Israeli film seems pertinent as I leave for Israel again to visit family. The film was made before 2012, and attempts to portray a moment in the future.
When I first scheduled this, I suggested that people make sure they read the analysis at the youtube website. Youtube however has terminated this filmmaker’s account. I wonder why. Could it be because some from the Islamic world complained? Could it be that some within the google/youtube world didn’t like its message?
The video is still on youtube, however, posted by others. Freedom lives, even as some try to squelch it.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
BLR – iDiots
An evening pause: For the New Year, this short film epitomizes the modern computer world. Do you use an iDiot?
