Something
Wicked Film Festival prides itself on representing some of the most diverse
storytellers out there and some of this filmmakers see the art and story of
film can be made challenging and more cryptic while also telling a story for
audiences. These films are included in
our Experimental category. These films
challenge audiences and make them think about things in an amore abstract
manner that when done adequately can leave the audience with the feeling of
being intellectually, psychologically, and metaphorically challenged.
Now, as a
filmmaker myself, I have never crafted an experimental film, but I’ve always
admired the filmmakers that have chosen this sub-genre to practice their artistic
craft. I have to admit that some films
do in fact challenge me as an audience member while others I immediately get
(the far few are those that are so abstract as I can see any redeeming quality in
storytelling, technique, or general artistic merit).
This year we
are only showcasing four experimental shorts in our program. These are the very best of what was submitted
to us this year, but each have their own unique story to tell. Filmmaker Emma Penaz Eisner’s “Beth’s Three O’Clock
with Dr. Harlow” is a film that has screened in film festivals all over the
world and we are excited to be bringing it to our event this year. Andrew Huggins who has produced many short
films in all genres brings to us “Reditus Domum,” a very visually engaging film
that is sure to keep eyes glued to the screen.
Our last two experimental films both come from Germany! Andre Carvalho’s “The Great Parody” has to do
with a director who dreams about selling his soul for fame while Berthold Bock’s
“Colonna” is a very lyrical film where past and present commingle.
Although these
are the only experimental shorts that we are screening this year, we hope that come
August 7-9, 2020 you’ll join us at SWFF for our Online Festival Event where you
will be able to enjoy these and all the other amazing shorts and features
screening at our event. Tickets are on
