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 Dire...

  This pre-production photo for the set team of Melodia  shows two framed prints. The photographer has dropped keys on the floor to indicate scale. The details are from Beethoven Frieze  by Gustav Klimt, designed in 1902 for the Secession Building in Vienna. One print shows an angelic chorus singing ‘Ode to Joy.’ Another shows the composer embracing a female figure; a representation the world, she returns the embrace. In the short film the prints appear mounted on the wall of the title character’s apartment. It is characteristic that Mel surrounds herself with creature comforts but that nothing—except perhaps the piano itself—is extravagant in price. She has plants and books and framed prints. We see her enjoy a good bath, a cup of oolong, candlelight, and a goblet of wine. Her window looks out on Metro rail line; though above the ground floor, she hardly lives in a penthouse. Her taste in music is eclectic. Mel, a Taiwanese pianist, is played by Ms Yi-An Chen; the music ...
