Implementing a rather unusual approach to animation, “Epicenter” is a 10-minute film that has already done its festival circuit, including a Jury mention in Tallinn.
“Epicenter” is screening at Vienna Shorts
Implementing a series of vignettes, essentially a series of stills taken from Bukhansan Mountain National Park the movie begins with an image of the mountains, without any movement. The sound of an earthquake, however, starts the movement, as some birds are shown flying, probably scared from the noise and the movement. The top of a crystal bowl is lying on a table where there is also a fruit basket with two tomatoes in it, which are first visited by a fly, and then one of them is picked by the hand of an individual who is only visible from the back. The next vignette shows a painter working on a sketch, while the next brings us to a field with a greenhouse,...

We're fast approaching the release of "Dune: Part Two," the follow-up to Denis Villeneuve's epic adaptation of the seminal novel by Frank Herbert. The first film was a fantastic adaptation that captured Herbert's sociopolitical intrigue, intricate lore, and complex characters, while giving the story a unique visual style that didn't pull from any of the previous adaptations.
With how expansive the story of "Dune" is, balancing the big picture with smaller character stories isn't easy, as we deal with a narrative that spans tens of thousands of years across the entire galaxy along with the small and personal story of a young man coming to terms with his destiny. In "Part One," we saw Timothée Chalamet's Paul Atreides lose his father, his station, and his home. Now, "Dune: Part Two" promises Paul will fulfill his destiny as he becomes a part of the Fremen and his revenge plan slowly takes form.
