“Pizza Verdi” is a seven-minute suspense-thriller short film by New York filmmaker Gary Nadeau, whose film “Red” won the 1994 Student Academy Award. In “Pizza Verdi,” a seemingly routine pizza delivery to a luxurious Manhattan apartment rapidly escalates into a tense operatic game of cat-and-mouse, and we soon realize that perhaps there’s more to this story than first meets the eye. Giuseppe Verdi provides the soundtrack for this quintessential New York tale, a spellbinding film that will leave you sitting on the edge of your seat right up to its astoundingly shocking conclusion.
This piece includes a number of black-and-white photographs, as well as the suspenseful short film.

“Hezarfen” is a joyously slapstick three-minute 3D animated short film by Tolga Ari, Romain Blanchet, Chung-Yu Huang and Rémy Hurlin, who are recent graduates of Supinfocom Arles. The film takes place in 1632 in Turkey and presents the trials and tribulations of Hezarfen, a citizen of Istanbul who folklore credits with having attempted to make the first human flight with artificial wings in the history of aviation. Legend claims that Hezarfen actually took off from atop the 183-foot tall Galata Tower near Bosporus and landed successfully at Uskudar, almost 3 miles away from the Galata Tower.
This film focuses primarily on how Hezarfen managed to jump from that lofty, truly sky-high tower. As he prepared to jump and launch into flight, a large crowd of townspeople stopped their work to gaze up at the tower, watching with astonishment at the sight of Hezarfen perched on top with flimsy wings attached. In short order, many of them ended up actually getting drawn into the breath-taking drama, as an unforeseen chain of events rapidly began to unfold. The initially courageous-seeming undertaking soon became a turbulently comical misadventure, a wacky escapade that demonstrates the high price imposed by attempts to execute schemes that are really peculiar and strange. Such offbeat strivings for bizarre pioneering achievement can so quickly degenerate into absurdly sparkling calamity.
This piece includes a number of colorful high-resolution illustrations, a slide show and the wickedly funny animated short film.

“Lock and Load” is a video essay about violent aggression and Hollywood’s weapon of choice, the gun, in all of it’s many, many forms. The video compilation is from cinema critics/editing whizzes Matt Zoller Seitz, Aaron Aradillas and Steven Santos.
The clips range from “Evil Dead 2” to “Full Metal Jacket” to “Taxi Driver” to “Raising Arizona” to “Pulp Fiction” and are smartly chosen, but it’s really the editing that’s the star in this short film. The 16-minute mini-movie builds a compelling rhythm, generating genuine tension, then letting it out in a burst of gunfire. Oh, and the very end references a very well-known moment from a very well-known movie, but replaces the clip in that film with the one that inspired it. That’s nothing short of brilliant.
This piece includes a number of high-resolution color photographs, as well as the remarkable short film.
