In “Drawing Life,” directed by Nathan Fitch, the New Yorker’s George Booth looks back on fifty years of work — including the only cartoon to be published in the issue following 9/11.

“I became insane with long intervals of horrible sanity.” – Edgar Allan Poe Only one Servant remains in the ruins of an old house. He is valet, butler, footman, cook and sick-nurse. The master of the house is a cadaverous invalid whose every function is aided by the earnest, young manservant. He meticulously repeats his duties within the silence of the moldering chambers – his only company is the vacant stare of the Old Man’s blind eye. Time rots away. Tormented by constant silence and the banality of his duties, the Servant’s fears gradually turn to violent obsession.With tangibly detailed period design and hauntingly lifelike puppetry, THE TELL-TALE HEART unearths the decaying dreamworld of Poe. Director/ designer Robert Eggers centers the classic tale on the unnerving relationship between Servant and Master. With lyrical movement and a striking performance by Carrington Vilmont, the film quickly lures its viewer into its claustrophobic confines. Statement from director Robert Eggers: “I am pleased to share The Tell-Tale Heart. It is an uneven film, but my first film that I was proud of making. It is also my first collaboration with my DP Jarin Blaschke and editor Lousie Ford, and we have worked together ever since, so it is an important film for all three of us. It is also my first collaboration with sound designer Damian Volpe. Originally, I wanted an incredibly frail actor, on death’s door, to play The Old Man, and realised the shooting conditions would not be able to accommodate that fragility (We shot the film in an abandoned 19th century house in New Hampshire, in February. It was filthy and cold – to put it mildly). I said to myself, “I’d rather have a doll play The Old Man than a slightly younger actor in makeup.” That stuck. This idea of an unliving doll or puppet as the antagonist was a strange choice, but for better or worse, one that certainly makes the film unique. I am also particularly proud of the performance by Carrinton Vilmont. I hope that audiences take note of him.”

Inspired by true stories, Shed Some Light is an intimate exploration of vitiligo, a skin condition that is largely misunderstood and often leads to prejudice and the exploitation of those it touches. Drawing upon Lee Thomas’ powerful TED Talk about his experience with the disease, the film portrays the courageous journey to self-acceptance and boldness through one’s own internal light.  Hear the stories that inspired the film: https://bit.ly/3KnGuYg Para legendas em Português, clique em CC — Filmsupply exists to empower creative professionals by providing high quality, cinematic stock footage.

“The Journey” is this week’s Staff Pick Premiere! Read our Q&A with director Ève Saint-Louis on the Vimeo Blog: https://bit.ly/3xXE7ZZ After a year away from home, Chantale, who now lives and studies in Paris, returns to Quebec City, to spend the Holidays with her mother and sister. Against all odds, her father, with whom she has a contentious relationship, has offered to pick her up at the airport and drive her there. Hesitant about seeing him again, she accepts his offer nonetheless. The Journey tells the story of their reunion: a path strewn with obstacles, where nothing goes as planned. As night falls and the Father deviates from the planned route, Chantale will be faced with the hold he has on her, and will need to take action.
