5.0 out of 5 stars An Anthology of Quality Short Films, December 14, 2002

By

This review is from: Best of RESFEST Shorts, Vol. 1 (DVD)

If you love short films (and desperately miss the Quickband "SHORT" series like I do), then order Resfest 01. "Tongues and Taxis" is a brilliant animated sequence, ripe with wit and movement. "Golden Shoes" is haunting -- an experiment to replicate Russian stop-motion puppetry using computer graphics. And if you're not humming "Latin Alive" five minutes after you see it, you're not fully human. All in all, this is one of the best short compilations. Hoping for volume 02.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good collection of shorts, circa 2000, August 4, 2009

1.0 out of 5 stars The worst set of short films I have ever seen..., January 13, 2004

By A Customer

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Best of RESFEST Shorts, Vol. 1 (DVD)

I purchased this DVD in the hopes that I would find some interesting short films. What I got instead in the 2nd worst DVD I have ever bought. Most of the short films in this collection are mindlessly boring beyond belief (I kept finding myself hitting the fastword button), with the exception of three. Definately not worth the price of the DVD. If you're looking for good quality short films, look elsewhere - you won't find much here. Having seen this DVD once, I will never watch it again (yes, it's that bad).
