  Have you ever watched a film with no dialogue, no actors, and no conventional storyline, yet it left a lasting impression? Mankind Is No Island, directed by Jason van Genderen, is one such film. It relies entirely on real footage from city streets and words taken from signs to deliver a heartfelt message about homelessness, compassion, and society’s tendency to overlook the vulnerable. Rather than following a traditional narrative, the film unfolds like a visual poem. It uses simple phrases from everyday street signs like “I love you,” “We don’t see you,” or “Your family cares” rearranged to create a touching story. These words appear alongside images of real people, many of them homeless, sitting or sleeping on the sidewalks of New York and Sydney. The emotional connection grows as viewers are quietly shown the lives of people so often ignored. At its core, the film carries a powerful message: no one should be invisible. Every human being deserves recognition, love, and dignity....

Watching Still Wylde was honestly a mix of emotions. It made me laugh in parts, but it also hit pretty hard emotionally. It felt really real and personal, like something that could actually happen to anyone, which made it easy to connect with. Right from the beginning, the film got my attention. The characters and their dialogue felt natural and honest, so I was immediately pulled into their world. It didn’t take long at all to get into it. If I were to summarize it without giving too much away, I’d say it’s about a couple dealing with an unexpected situation that challenges their relationship. The whole story takes place inside a car, but somehow it still feels full and emotionally deep. I think the main message of the film is that life doesn’t always go the way we expect, especially when it comes to things like love and loss. And sometimes, people deal with those things in messy, complicated ways and that’s okay. There was definitely a twist I didn’t see coming. It added a new lay...

From the added responsibilities and constant fatigue to the endless tasks that come with raising children, one of the most noticeably impacted areas is your sex life and it often feels like there's no going back.

https://youtu.be/JO1lriCv6kI STORY AND THEME:    It places you firmly in the middle of post‑partum intimacy and parental exhaustion. You're laughing one moment at the absurdity of two sleep‑deprived parents trying to reclaim a moment of connection; the next, your heart partially goes out to their vulnerability. It's the kind of film that tickles then tugs. It has you from the first scene. There's a relatable, immediate energy: new parents walking on eggshells around their responsibilities, desperate to be normal again. There's no need to wait for the setup—the setup is the situation. A young couple, fresh from having their baby, teases intimacy, but every time they attempt to rekindle their spark, reality wailing baby, diaper changing, exhaustion yanks them back.

  Review by Baji Namaja Short Film: “Fuck” (Starring Brett Goldstein) This film made me feel emotional and surprised. I thought the man was going to surprise Kaboo Mango with something impressive. During summer, making love in the presence of children isn’t allowed — and clearly, the husband was aware of that. He ignored the woman and the wife’s side completely, which made things feel dull. That twist was unexpected. When did Child go back to bed while the parents were talking? I’m not hiding the  fact that I expected them to have sex. The characters were well developed, and they clearly knew what they wanted to do. Their performances in the film were lovely — especially how they behaved in bed. However, the characters ended up feeling negative because they weren’t able to achieve the goal of making love. Both of them were in the mood, but still, it didn’t happen. The cinematography was well prepared. The film was shot with interesting angles, mostly in landscape and medium cl...
