One Shot Film

I received an e-mail today pointing me in to take a look at Canadian singer Leslie Feist’s recent music video. The claim in the e-mail was that part of the dance in this video was heisted from the Vis-A-Vis Society’s Mandance. Although there are some similarities between the two dances, I was really struck by the amazing craft given to this one-shot film.

We’ve taken to asking visiting filmmakers to create one-shot films while they’re screening at NWFF. So far Andrew Bujalski, Todd Rohal and most recently Aaron Katz have created one shots in Seattle. When Joe Swanberg arrives next month we’ll ask him to do the same. I dare say, this is one of the most well thought out one shots I’ve ever seen. Busby Berkeley would be proud!
