Last week was Next International Film Festival in Bucharest. On one of the nights they had "Oscar Night" were they played all short movies that were nominated at the Oscars this year. Two out of the five nominees really made a great impression on me.(or something like that)
Henry is very emotional short film which brings us closer to the life of an old man and his struggle with his memory losses or better said his daughters struggle. The film is beautiful shoot and it really brings back the kind of love story that took place long time ago. It's filled with compassion and joy. Although said overall I enjoyed it to the fullest. Furthermore the music is greatly chosen.

But now let me present my total favorite:
Curfew It's one of those story's taken out of our daily reality and put into a 20 min short. It has a story, it has a lovely cast, it has nice music I keep playing on my Ipod, it has it all. You have to watch it to be able to disagree with me. It won the Oscar and many other prices.
But it's not about this. There is so much more. It is a sort of dramatic touching story that brings a laugh up on your face. The main characters, Fatima Ptacek, who is only a 13 year old kid gave an incredible performance that will make you wanna clap at the end.
Well, worth seeing.
