Lakas ng Lahi ("Blood Compact") - Filipino Animated Short Film from Arnold Arre on Vimeo.

It has been said that a fighter fights for himself but a warrior fights for his people. Three Filipino warriors fought against the oppression of the Spanish regime in the late 19th century. They come from different backgrounds- a man from a line of chieftains conquered centuries ago; a woman with the conqueror's blood in her veins rejected by her family of privilege; and a young man from a land across the sea fighting for his new home. Now the three find themselves in a new time. A time where the Philippines is a free nation. A time when the Philippines is as enslaved as ever. Their eyes have seen oppression. They still see it and they act in the only way they can. They fight.

***
Background notes: Very rarely do action films in the Philippines feature traditional Filipino martial arts like 'arnis' and 'eskrima' and this is why we made our own. The 19th century fighters represent three types of Filipino martial arts: pre-Hispanic, Hispanic influenced and Chinese influenced. These styles are represented by the characters’ weapons - a Kampilan sword, Spanish daggers, and a rope dart, respectively. All three now find themselves fighting a different war, a more ambiguous war, perhaps, in present day Manila. (Read more:http://arnold-arre.com/2014/06/09/lakas-ng-lahi-animation/)

The Soliloquist from Keats on Vimeo.

“Loneliness, sensing your existence makes me want to disappear.”

Of all those lonesome days, a heart broken man had received letters and packages stating with the wrong addressee. Unable to return those letters, he started to read them. As the letters piled up, leading him fell in to a fictitious love with an imaginary character.

This is my graduation project for MFA at Tainan National University of the Arts and majored in Graduate Institute of Sound and image Studies in Animation.


「寂寞啊，當我感覺到你存在，便讓我不想存在這世界上」
一個關於寂寞、人際、感情、妄想、幻覺交錯的現代寓言。

劇情簡介：
一個失戀之人，在寂寞低潮的日子裡收到寄給某人的信與包裹，在無法退還的情況下，主角似有心無意的拆閱信件，隨著不斷累積的數量，漸與那未曾露面出現的那人，發生一段曖昧詭異的另類妄想。

Between the Bars from Coline Brun-Naujalis on Vimeo.

Between the Bars is a short film I made on my spare time, for the eponym song composed by Elliott Smith, who’s music I completely felt in love with. The narration is freely inspired by Smith’s melancholic landscape and soft spoken voice.

The film has been completely hand drawn frame by frame and self founded. I am really excited to share it with you now!

Blast from Ignatz Johnson Higham on Vimeo.

How artists cheated the U-Boat. The short lived Vorticist movement came to an abrupt end during the first world war. One of it's participants and a signatory of its manifesto, Edward Wadsworth, went on to design disruptive camouflage for allied ships. This film was based on extensive research of the Imperial War Museum archive in London.
