CHEERS..

What's the connection between thread and film?
Do these spools of thread bring anything to mind?
Film reels maybe?

These little gems I found on the internet are like bits of handicrafted embroidery that you can only discover in the best kept of households..
They all have English subtitles when necessary, and are always short and sweet..

Every Wednesday a new short film , available to everyone of you online during the whole week.

A short movie for a long week.
Enjoy..

Oh belga , that was a long comment. thank you. Let's see what it says more or less in english :
Navarro's short movie took me back to the days I was living away out of Rhodes. Big city, many people running araound, unknown people around me.There were moments you feel like a small sheep waiting and trying to figure out how it is possible to get into that train, in which compartment there are not many people. how to turn right , then left and then a step forward.Fuck , what am I doing here? So much lonelyness although so many people stand around me..
There were many times that I 'cought' myself doing the same thing as the protagonist. trying to find a familiar 'sight', in order to feel that you are unique and you're not like the rest of the sheep around you, to feel that you exist, that you're not alone.
'Magma' had a happy-end (atleast they touched eachother). Not like my similar experiences.
And i think ,the director expressed the whole situation as it really is.

(i tried to put all this in english, did you get the idea? hopefully yes..)

it seems that greek speaking people insist writing in Greek. Ok then.
Here's Dark's comment :

This eye-contact game was magnificent. Everythng has been told without a single word. In the end , this touch has given another dimension to this experience!
Very good choice Gabriel
(why things like these do not happen with me?)

Well, Dark , i guess because you got married too early! That's why , I suppose... hehe
