"Christmas is tiring… Just a bunch of kids yelling and running, anyway." How would you react if suddenly you lost control of your body and it started moving on its own? This freaky, fascinating experimental short Beast is made by a Montreal based filmmaker named Benjamin Nicolas. It's only 11 minutes and is shot in B&W. It's Christmas Eve, Martin drives customers in his VTC, suddenly, without warning, his body begins to make uncontrolled movements. Starring James Viveiros, a contemporary dance artist, in the lead role with an unforgettable performance. This isn't the most straightforward short, there's plenty of crazy things going on and after a quiet first half it gets real crazy leading up to the finale. It reminds me of the early work from that other Montreal director you might know - Denis Villeneuve (check out Next Floor). Watch below. ›››
