Cultural Intimacy in Film = Time + Love | Film - Performance - Conversation

http://www.thelittlemovie.com/arthousefilm/fishing-without-nets

Cultural Intimacy in Film = Time Love. By Flo Ankah on October 15, 2014. United States Kenya Somalia. Indie films are a labor of love. Yes, the initial goal is making the best possible picture, one that realizes the director’s vision with integrity and can objectively reach its target audience. If by any chance, the film gets released, you feel connected to it, you saw it first and you feel entitled to brag and root for the project, it’s pretty much like being a baseball fan. The picture is about a Somal...

Moonrise Kingdom by Wes Anderson

http://www.thelittlemovie.com/arthousefilm/wes-anderson_moonrise-kingdom

They Don’t Kid Around, it Gets Bloody. By Flo Ankah on September 18, 2012. In “Moonrise Kingdom” the two protagonists may be 10 years old, but they are courageous and act on what they believe in, they don’t kid around. I don’t know if many adults can claim to have such integrity in their principles. Well… they also follow their impulses which cause trouble–lots. A first Wes Anderson movie for me. I have heard the guy is a genius. 8211;What do you want to be when you grow up? Here’s a kiss:. 8211;I like it.

French countryside documentary film - Bovine

http://www.thelittlemovie.com/arthousefilm/emmanuel-gras_bovines

French Cows Running on Brooklyn Rooftops. By Flo Ankah on June 8, 2012. What to do in Brooklyn on a warm Spring evening? I find the simplicity of the storytelling in Bovine very engaging. The soundscape thorough the film is realistic. We are almost uncomfortably propelled close to the big animals, and after a few ruminations, we realize it doesn’t get gross and become comfortable simply contemplating. A French New Yorker at heart, Flo Ankah works as an actress, director and voice-over talent (Listen Up P...

How About the Local Film Festivals? By Flo Ankah on December 2, 2014. In The Eye of the Spiral. Raynaldo Leconte and Eve Blouin. It’s always really helpful when we get in, so it feels good to be able to support the festival back. I ended up chatting with Brian Smith over pizza. He has written three horror screenplays. So different, I didn’t except it. It made my day. To be perfectly honest, most of my friends I met at film festivals. More with Big Apple Film Festival. Film / Theater Essay. New York Hot J...

Punctuated and Visionary Exploration of Brecht. By Flo Ankah on May 28, 2013. The Caucasian Chalk Circle.

Only God Forgives - Nicolas Winding Refn

http://www.thelittlemovie.com/arthousefilm/onlygodforgives

Dancing between Darkness and Light. By Flo Ankah on December 22, 2013. Nicolas Winding Refn does have an exciting mind. Even if I can’t quite pronounce his name right, I became a fan of the filmmaker after watching Drive. In both films I find his timing fascinating, I love that he clearly doesn’t care about the norm, and knows how to break boundaries. Only God Forgives. I missed out on the Spring premiere of the almost horror thriller. I’m gonna take care of the yellow nigger that killed my son. A French...
