It’s been a big couple of weeks for Ottawa’s film scene. Last week Donkey, a home grown gangsta film by Adrian Langley, opened at the Empire Theatres in Rideau, plus Saw Gallery had its annual members screening. Next week the Ottawa Film Festival will feature the results of their 72 hour film challenge, worth going if only to see how filmmakers managed to incorporate the diverse criteria that included jumping jacks, a reference to Back to the Future, and shawarmas.
However, this week the big news is Nuit Blanche, an HD short film created by Arev Manoukian of Ottawa. The dreamy black and white flick won the $100,000 first prize at the LG Life’s Good FilmFest, beating out filmmakers from around the globe. Each HD entry was restricted to no more than five minutes in length and had to convey the notion that “Life’s Good.” The imagery is pretty cool, so check it out if you have a couple of minutes to spare at work today.
This short is phenomenal! Thanks for posting.
Beautiful
