I was mailed by the director/writer of a short film called 'Dym' with him asking me to check it out, and I was very glad I did. 'Dym' which translates as 'Smoke' is a polish film by Grzegorz Cisiecki. It is a surrealist film which seems to draw influences from the likes of David Lynch. The film explores the inner madness of one man through strong imagery, to which a lot of credit is due to the cinematography and editing. The film does not follow a specific plot, but that does not detract from the film as this allows the viewer to garner their own meaning from it. The film is shot in a very haunting fashion with a constant eerie tone to every shot. The sound design is also very strong in complementing the atmosphere of the film, particularly the piano accompaniment which plays throughout. The use of varying camera angles to create a series of interesting shots are edited very well together to created a visually intriguing final product. The performances are also very strong, coming across very professionally considering the actors have no dialogue to express emotion, but instead have to rely heavily on expression and movement. This 7 minute film is well worth checking out, so you can view it on youtube by clicking the link below.
