Toronto After Dark 2009 – Becoming (Short)

August 24, 2009

in reviews

Becoming is part of Toronto After Dark’s Canadian Short Film Showcase. It played before Black.

Becoming is a stunningly beautiful film about a mythical woodland creature called upon to fight a battle with Man. It mixes together beautiful imagery in the form of beautiful costumes and locations, but also the beauty of movement of the short’s main character – the mythical being described by the filmmakers as “…Idolamantis, an ancient woman that moves like a praying mantis…”

Gently it paints a picture of man’s battle with nature and takes a stand on the winner. I know I’ve said this a lot, but it’s deeply, truly beautiful. Go to the official website at http://www.becomingthefilm.com/Becoming.html for more images, the trailer and more. This trailer should be seen if you can. On a big screen it was astonishing.
