Je suis un vélo (2018)

★ — Je suis un vélo (2018)

Shot in French Guiana by co-directors Quentin Chantrel and Léa Magnien under the banner of Collectif Lova Lova, a small local production collective, this micro-short clocks in at just over two minutes and appears to have been made on essentially no formal budget. French Guiana, an overseas territory of France on the northeastern coast of South America, has a negligible film industry of its own, which makes even modest grassroots productions like this one something of a rarity in terms of documented local filmmaking. The cast, led by a young Morgan Chantrel (presumably a family connection to the co-director), are non-professionals, and the whole thing has the character of a community micro-project rather than a conventional short film release.

A-Z World Movie Tour French Guiana It's just over 2 minutes long. No speech. Seriously what am I really supposed to do with this? Child gets bike stolen by man. Man repaints bike. Gives it to another child. That child rides it off with the first child on the handlebars. Yeah... transcendent

A 72-minute French–Czech co-production designed by the

Viy (1967)

Viy (1967) is a strange and almost solitary object in Soviet cinema: a horror film, an actual horror film with monsters and demons and supernatural set-pieces, in a national cinema that mostly didn’t make horror at all. Officially endorsed by Mosfilm and based on a Nikolai Gogol folktale, it

Alice in Wonderland (1951)

Disney’s Alice in Wonderland (1951) is the studio’s middle-period work par excellence: technically polished, commercially tested, narratively cautious, and just slightly off. Made between two of Disney’s commercial successes (Cinderella in 1950, which had rescued the studio from one of its periodic financial near-misses, and Peter Pan
