TOKYO: Lexus and The Weinstein Company recently premiered two short films selected from thousands of submissions at global film festivals, to kick off the third Lexus Short Films series, which is held this year under the theme ‘Anticipation’.
The first film to be premiered at Tokyo Short Shorts Film Festival was Alexis Michalik’sshort film ‘Friday Night’. This film features a story about a mother named Claire who, while visiting her daughter studying in France, is thrown into the midst of a citywide attack. In a place where she does notspeak the language or know her way around, she is forced to navigate in the dark of night in a desperate search to find her daughter and ensure her safety.
Damian Walshe-Howling’s short film ‘MESSiAH’was also recently premiered at the Sydney Film Festival.
The film highlights a playful collision of cultures, in which a hapless Irishman and his Parisian girlfriend get more than they bargained for when they encounter a particularly mischievous stranger in the spectacular Australian wilderness.
Well-known Australian actor David Gulpilil (The Tracker, The Proposition, Crocodile Dundee) will star in the film.
