Eu Não Quero Voltar Sozinho – Full Short
by Felipe Rosa
Eu Não Quero Voltar Sozinho (I Don’t Want to Go Back Alone): this delicate, lovely short by Daniel Ribeiro, deserves to be seen. (It’s in Portuguese, but subtitles are available.) After winning many awards worlwide, it was expanded by the director into a wonderful feature, The Way He Looks (even thought the literal title translation actually is “Today I Want to Go Back Alone”; the title change is meaningful).

by Felipe Rosa
Aningaaq: A relatively little know fact about Gravity is that a short, a companion piece of sorts, was written and directed by Jonás Cuarón, Alfonso Cuarón’s son and a co-writer of Gravity. It’s a lovely piece. Enjoy!

by Felipe Rosa
Castello Cavalcanti: my appreciation for Wes Anderson’s quirky, very particular and recognizable films is well-documented here. This short, recently released, has done nothing but whet my palate for his upcoming feature, The Grand Budapest Hotel.

12 Minutes (2013) – Full Short
by Felipe Rosa
12 Minutes: Filmmaking is deceptively time-consuming. Coming out with a story, writing a working script, shooting, editing, it all takes much more time than it looks. A good friend of mine recently produced this short for the 48 Hour Film Project. The end result is a very fun short, all the more impressive because of the restraints. Enjoy!
