A tribute to 138 years of cinema by UK filmmaker Vugar Efendi. To wit:

A deftly edited montage by Beyond The Frame celebrating the shared universe of Quentin Tarantino’s various films. To wit:
Everything’s connected. There are two universes shared by Tarantino’s characters. Everyone’s related, but unlike real families they talk to each other on the phone. They all eat Big Kahuna Burgers and smoke Red Apples, but somehow seem fit. K-Billy. Records scratching. Shots from trunks.
Spanish filmmaker Celia Gómez explores the cinematic match cut technique, wherein scenes are joined by retaining the position and/or motion of objects to preserve continuity and flow.

The 2016 Oscar winning live action short film by Irish writer/director Benjamin Cleary – now available to view online in its entirety courtesy of the New Yorker.
Thirteen minutes well spent (if, God forbid, you’re using a regional masking browser plugin), to wit:
…a young London typographer named Greenwood (Matthew Needham) stutters to the extent that verbal conversation is difficult. When he tries to resolve an issue with a service representative over the phone, he can’t get the words out; the operator, gruff and impatient, hangs up. (For surliness, she rivals the operator in the old Yaz song.) When a woman approaches Greenwood on the street, he uses sign language to avoid talking. But in his thoughts, which we hear, he does not stutter.
