Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
AFTER SCHOOL KNIFE FIGHT
Synopsis

Our take
Sounding out the uncertain feeling of being on the knife-edge of late adolescence, Caroline Poggi and Jonathan Vinel’s short is slashed with sirens and alarm-bell reds. Understatedly grungy, Marine Atlan’s cinematography treads that tender emotional terrain with staticky, fallen-leaf crackle.
