My heart buckles a little bit under the enormity of beauty in these short films. I usually keep things like this on a personal blog I have, but these are just absolutely inspiring and I need to share them. They really are the most beautiful things I’ve seen in a long time. I know they’ll be my inspiration for quite a while.
Scintillation by Xavier Chassaing, I can’t count the number of times I’ve watched this little film the past few weeks. It carries so much the essence of one of my favorite films, Blade Runner. The balls of fire, the delicate music, the color palette, the stillness. Modern but classic, calm but pulsing. It is one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in a long time. Perfect.

Vincent Moon is the guy that shoots the “Take Away Shows” and he has some really beautiful shorts. This one is composed of crunchy black and whites and is an enchanting tale of love set in China.

Moon is great at capturing something that seems to lie between film, photography and even painting at times. This particular short I could really feel. It seems a fitting response to my Dear Diary post-college monologue of confusion below, Desublimination!
