Ahahaha someone finally found a fun way to make fun of ovation clocks standing in film festivals. One of the trends in the most stupid film journalism that day is the way someone will literally have the minutes during a standing ovation at the end of the world premiere of a film in the main film festivals, including Cannes & Venice. I even wrote an article once how is this trend is entirely useless and stupid, and how standing ovations mean nothing, and they generally occur because the public is obsessed with celebrities (that’s objectively not a measure of the quality of the film or Nothing Besides who is in the audience / why do they not leave). This short short film called Ovation is a riff on this trend, featuring the actor Listen to children’s rights During his first of the film Cannes Film Festival The latest saint of Inishberry (fully composed). Is it also a satirical answer to the question: what do these actors do during a standing ovation of 20 minutes? Well, look and discover.
Thanks to Luke on Twitter for the advice on these online beginnings. In short, intro via YouTube: “The journey of an actor through an endless ovation at the Cannes Film Festival.” Ovation is a short directed by the filmmaker based in Los Angeles Noam Kroll – He manages a website of the cinematographic community and provides advice – he also has a “commercial production house called” Creative Rebellion “, and manages a movie blog to inspire others.
