SELECTED PRESS & LITERATURE
"Night Horse embraces the relics of digital breakdown to build a new lyricism"
_Senses of Cinema -The Unspeakable finds Voice: The 48th International Film Festival Rotterdam by Dirk de Bruyn,
"Despite all the visual distress, the white noise that permeates Night Horse only grows ever more entrancing, drawing audiences deeper and deeper into its bizarre and startling world."
_Singapore Film News Portal -Staff Picks: SeaShorts Film Festival 2020 by Sinema
“All the unease, entrapment, sense of the inhumane and the impersonal are real in the film,
but it might as well be a nightmare.“ (Night Horse)
_Sindie -SeaShorts 2020 Film Festival: Space In Between by Timothy Ong
“La realidad mítica y técnica que Night Horse rescata se asemeja a un poema reciclado que, en lugar de buscar lo voayeurista de lo registrado de manera involuntaria, se digna a seguir los pasos de un cine de la contemplación y la espera.”
_Cinesinfin -Night Horse (2019) by Borja Castillejo Calvo
"Film ini meminta kita untuk fokus dan berempati pada detail dari menit-menit terakhir kehidupan seseorang. Kehidupan yang diambil paksa atas nama imajinasi tentang keadilan dan stabilitas negara."
_Minikino -The Execution: Wajah Kemanusiaan yang Tertutupi by Ahmad Fauzi
"Ритмичное появление точек на экране, постепенно закрывающих лицо жертвы ли, преступника ли, действовали как метроном гипнотизера." (The Execution)
_Лабиринты кино-Japanese Films at the 18th Pacific Meridian Vladivostok Film Festival by Olga Sumarokova
“Van Der Stock construit un récit à la tonalité fantastique. Il fait affleurer dans l’animal et le végétal une qualité spirituelle qui semble avoir quitté les êtres humains, devenus mutiques et robotiques.” (Dream Box)
_Tënk by Olivia Cooper Hadjian
"The kind of visual, implicit documentary that defies storytelling dogmas." (Dream Box)
_Modern Times Review -Dream Box by Dr. Willemien Sanders
"Mysterious and devoid of context. Protagonists are shown in distress. The cute animals have become superfluous."
_Cinetalk -RIDM 2017: Dream Box (Belgium, 2017) by Sandro Forte
“Un film à l’écriture Brechtienne, dont le tragique s’agence de manière à forcer un examen de conscience collectif sur notre rapport à la vie et à la nature.” (Dream Box)
_Le spectateur animal by Pastille Varda
“We can hear a very precise articulation of this un-cosy feeling amidst ruined modern buildings in the very sensitive and inspiring documentary Silent Visitors.”
_Rowman & Littlefield International Publisher -Reviewing the Past. The Presence of Ruins
by Dr. Zoltán Somhegyi
