‘Melodia’ in Montréal

Actor in photo: Yi-An Chen

Wow. We are delighted, humbled, and honoured to announce that Melodia has been named the Best International Short Film in the inaugural Montréal Shorts Film Festival on August 21. Congratulations and thanks to all!

Organisers describe the mission of the new Montshortsfest this way: ‘What is cinema?... The essence of cinema remains deeply rooted in its ability to depict the facets of existence, the world, the cosmos, and the human environment, along with all the beliefs, nightmares, dreams, and thoughts that shape our being. Cinema possesses a unique power to compel individuals to confront themselves, making it a profound tool for self-reflection and understanding.

‘Montréal Shorts Film Festival endeavours to enlighten the world with fresh perspectives and narratives... Ultimately, we want films that entertain, educate, push the boundaries of filmmaking and introduce us to new voices, new faces and new points of view.’

Michael Landrum, Festival Executive Director
Rose Hyvrard, Festival Artistic Director

Scenes with A T Beaune as David Episode 1 39:00 – 40:39 ‘Good things come with good wine.’ Episode 2        07:55 – 10:00 ‘Is Mr Fu-ji OK?’ Episode 6 45:20 – 46:49 ‘Is this the American Army #6 tea of legend?’ Episode 10    40:00 – 40:29 ‘The World Tea Expo happens every four years.’                               40:30 – 42:19 ‘This is my chief tea master.’                               42:20 – 44:00 ‘I am leaving Jardine.’                               51:42 – 53:29 ‘Our only condition.’                               53:30 – 54:20 ‘It’s amazing.’ Episode 12     42:17 – 43:29 ‘The Formosa tea will be here later today.’                         43:30  – 49:50      ‘Tea is like people.’  Series Trailer: Business Colleagues with David voiceover https://bit.ly/goldleaf-merchants What an honour it has

1 Cocoa Beach, 1969 (from ‘Five Vignettes’)

Five Vignettes from 1001 Nights and Other Short Stories by A T Beaune    ©   2014   All rights reserved. We do not remember days. We remember moments. – Cesare Pavese 1 Cocoa Beach, 1969 The launch of a Saturn V sends a bead of sun into the sky. You squint. The sky darkens around that bead of fire pushing its pale dart. Neighbours stand on their lawns around you, gazing skyward. Only after the glowing bead clears the rooftops does the sound arrive. You feel the rumble as much as hear it. It rolls toward you, takes over your ribs. Windows rattle, birds flee. Over the rumble now sprouts a burning crackle. The crackle and the rumble merge into a single growl of power. On my portable radio a tenor  voice speaks through static. ‘We’ve got us a roll program.’ The climbing fireball sprouts a trailing cloud. It lengthens into a snaking white spiral. ‘Roll complete and pitch is programming.’ Crackle. ‘Copy that,’ says another voice. ‘Stand by for Mode One-Charlie.’ Nearby m

Mussorgsky was devastated. When he learned of a fund-raising drive aimed at mounting an exhibition of the young man’s art, he donated at once. The event went forward. Mussorgsky attended. The exhibition lifted the grieving composer’s spirits. He completed the piano suite Pictures from an Exhibition soon after.   莫傑斯特．穆索斯基這首寫於 1874 年的鋼琴組曲是為了紀念一位英年早逝的藝術家朋友。當時那位朋友才離世不久，穆索斯基極度悲慟。 當穆索斯基得知有人發起
