Bergen Animation Festival

It is a little bit late to talk about this festival, but...

I had the opportunity to watch two short movies and a long one.

The first short-film was about blindness but, unfortunately, it was in Norwegian.

The other two prima-donnas were from the same director, Bill Plympton. "Hot Dog" was the name of his short-film in this festival, a funny movie with a typical American humour. This was the 2nd sequel of "Guard Dog" from 2004.

But the main reason that took me there was "Idiots and Angels". This is the last feature of Plympton. "Idiots and Angels", as described on his website, is a "dark comedy about a man's battle for his soul".

For more information check the BAF website, the Billy Plympton website or the IMDB.

New contributor!

Hello film-addicted community:

My name is Enrique, from Mexico and I will be contributing on this blog. Sometimes my comments will be in English, others in Spanish, and as my Portuguese improves I will comment on that beautiful language too. I'm very interested in art-cinema and it will be my main topic, but one day I might comment on a blockbuster too!
Here I post a link to a very good website called Rotten Tomatoes, which offers the critics of the best experts on almost every film, it's very useful, although in this Blog I will post my personal critics and opinions of the world of film.

Queer Lisboa 12

This is a really peculiar cinema festival, but it is worth it anyway.

Queer Lisboa 12 is the 12th Lisbon Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. They will select films from three diffent categories: long-film, documentary and short-film, among many other activities, such as discussions about social impacts.

The Festival will take place at "Cinema S. Jorge" from 19th to 27th of September.

True Blood

From the creator of "Six Feet Under", here is a very different tv show.

"True Blood" was created by Alan Ball and is based on the "Sookie Stackhouse" book series by Charlaine Harris.
The series is about the coexistence of vampires and humans. That was only possible by the japanese invention "TruBlood", a synthetic blood. Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), a waitress, falls in love with vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) and the story begins.

Here is the trailer.
