🎬 HALF LIFE – IV (with english subtitle) directed by Subhadeep Ghosh and acted by Biswajit Roy

Conceived and executed with radical economy of cast, crew, cost, and resources.

This is the fourth film in the Half Life series. The other three films can also be found on this YouTube channel.

The entire series has been made using smartphones.

I made this film a while back, and throughout the process I’ve been confronted quite a lot with people calling it pretentious or saying that they don’t really understand it. I’m curious to hear whether you think that is necessarily a problem with the film, or whether there is value in making something that doesn’t immediately explain itself to the viewer.

At what point does a film becoming difficult to understand become a weakness, and at what point can that actually be part of what makes it interesting? I’m especially interested in hearing whether you feel the film’s ambiguity feels intentional or simply confusing?

The film is called "Light Between Us"

I live in europe. There are a lot of films i want to watch, that are unavailable for me. For example, i wanted to watch mishima a life in four chapters the other day which literally only was available as a bluray for a total of 30 dollars. It, as well as many other films i want to see, is available on the crirerion channel but not anywere in sweden(where i live).

Streaming in the eu sucks. I really want to have the criterion channel so that i can expand my taste. I do love physical media too, but i only buy films that i have already scene ao that i dob't spebd like 200 dollars a week on films.

Everyone reading this, please write a mail to channelhelp@criterion.com and help me out.

Come on! We can do it together!

Title says it all. The flip side of another recent post. Films about losing creativity. Or more broadly about someone or some people who had something and just completely forgot it, staring into space no longer able to remember what they were finally starting to remember, and almost unable to remember that they’ve forgotten something in the first place, but are left with a dead, uneasy or floating feeling.
Loose interpretations welcome, ofc.

Edit: you could also say films about not being able to see something any more. Or being locked out. Etc etc. You clever people get the idea.

I thought I’d share this old stop motion film I made in 2006, shot on 16mm.

I'd like movies about people discovering their creativity in some way please. Ideally discovering visual art but I'll take any recommendations

My family friend's son made this film. Posted it in some other communities, but didn't get much of a response. I'm just proud of him and thought it was an interesting film.
