TEXTUAL ANALYSIS


I have been looking at some short films, and stumbled upon a DVD collection of short films called 'Real Shorts'. Two films especially caught my eye. The first; 'I Expect Joan Feels the Same', a poignant film about two elderly women whose husbands were killed in the war. Directed by Sophie Williams, it shows an interview with the two women recalling their wartime loves intercut with archive footage from the war.
Another film that caught my eye was 'Silence', a film directed by Orly Yadin and Slyvie Bringas, features Holocaust survivor, Tana Ross, telling her story of her childhood in a concentration camp, and her teenage years after. Overlayed with different animation styles, it is a very engaging and interesting tale of what caused her 50 year silence of her suffering.
