Amnesia (BiM 2010: Avant Garde)
Made by Tom Gudde en Stijn HeirstrateOur last minute entry. We hope you'll enjoy/understand the film.
Well, I didn't understand it, but it was very good technically.
It looked like a guy trying to stop some people from kissing. 
I lol'd at "TG Tom and The Dancing Bricks." 
Nice work!

I believe I understood it basically well. Maybe a little subtle for sure, but still a highly interesting film.
Personally, I loved it. You did a fantastic job!
Yeah, really good job!
Thanks everybody. I understand that it is pretty hard to follow, so I'll make a explaination-tekst another time 
A solid addition to Nathan Wells' Dictionary Series. Probably the most ambitious one I've seen.
Well, it was hard to understand the story line. We liked the part where he was reminiscing of the past while running. But other than that, the film didn't really appeal to us, not saying that it was bad, though. In our opinion, 3/5.
Overall, extemely well-done and dramatic. The subtle camera rocking bothered me at first, but I got over it. I liked how there were no voices... your excellent choices in lighting, effects, camera angles, and music created a very intense mood. Nice job!

Well that explains the lack of dialog and further lack of plot.
Somethings to point out:
There's nothing wrong in asking someone else who doesn't have a female fig head with teeth marks on it to take that pic for you. If not that, then at least have someone fix it in Photoshop.
Looks like you used the run-in-place method. The least you can do is cover it up.
The editing could have been better. Some frames appear briefly and disappear suddenly, tsk tsk.
And unlike the others, I got what was going on.
Avant-Garde-worthy? Sure, it has an unconventional approach to confusing the viewer .
I enjoyed the dark mood it placed me at. The lightning was just too dark for me. And oustide seemed over exposed.
The music was great and really set the tone. I also like the fact there was arm waving dialogue.
The opening title was excellent. I think you have both done remarkably well and should place very high in the competition.
The bride looked like her face had been bitten by a dog, was that intentional?

I liked the sound and some of the lighting, but the whole thing felt really really cliché. The middle part with the running was interesting.
I liked the dark atmosphere and the music. Nice amnesia feeling.
Not bad, though this is the sort of thing I'd expect when I think of avant-garde, so in that sense it's not amazing. The unrelentingly somber mood and editing were what I think stood out the most.
Thanks everybody, I understand your critism

I was a bit dissapointed at the end. I didn't really understand the story which is bad because I think it has the potential for a good screenplay. It needed more depth and a better of telling it. The technical aspects were good though, I enjoyed the lighting although some shots might have been too dark and cinematography was good. It is definitely a good attempt at an avant-garde movie, but there still is a lot of work to do. Mainly on the story. 3.5/5
This just might be my favorite entry so far. Sure, it had a few technical flaws here and there, but I absolutely loved the dark, non-linear storytelling. I really like how it all clicks together at that last scene. It's all so very subtle and so very amazing.
5/5

Sorry for the slight bump but I gotta say I'm happy with the review and being ''recommended''
Thanks all
LOL, may I ask why I was under the special thanks?
