Together in isolation: the lockdown of the Faroe Islands (2021)

★★ — Together in isolation: the lockdown of the Faroe Islands (2021)

Produced by Northcam Pictures, this short documentary runs to just 33 minutes and captures the Faroe Islands during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically the near-hundred-day initial lockdown period that the archipelago, home to fewer than 55,000 people, endured in 2020. The Faroe Islands, a self-governing territory of Denmark sitting roughly midway between Norway and Iceland in the North Atlantic, attracted some international attention early in the pandemic for its relatively aggressive testing programme. The director is uncredited, and the film sits firmly in the wave of pandemic-era documentary work that emerged across 2020 and 2021 as filmmakers responded to an unprecedented global event with modest, locally focused productions.

A-Z World Movie Tour Faroe Islands. Not sure this documentary was necessary. Sure it was nice to see the scenery and learn about the people of the Faroe Islands but honestly this was no different to lockdown in the rest of the world. It was literally no different other than the possibility it spreads faster due to low population. Average. Plus... on Plex some bits had no subtitles

Fantastic Planet (1973)

René Laloux’s Fantastic Planet (1973) is one of those films that doesn’t really fit anywhere: too cerebral for kids, too odd for animation festivals, too steeped in European political theory for the Saturday-morning slot, and too visually fearless to ignore. 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
