A powerful new short from the Short Cuts, Canada 2013 festival, titled Noah, was fully filmed off of the desktop screen. It not only entraps you with its familiarity but it quickly depicts a love story in a short sequence of clicks that reveal a new generation of social relationships playing out online. In a matter of only minutes, the characters seem as familiar as lifelong friends and the story of young heartbreak as teenagers prepare to embark to college, transcends what I can only imagine is happening all across the nation, in repetition, and yet unique to each one. Could any of us really have imagined how the story of our lives would be playing out across servers?
The short is quite powerful as a medium and in this case, the film could have been even shorter. I wonder if this format would be too exhausting to view for a longer period but I love the experimentation of this piece. Enough said. If you haven't seen it already, take the time and watch it below.
