Samantha Mitchell’s “RSVP” : Incluvie Film Fest
“There’s always something you can do…to make people feel like they’re welcome”

What if feeling scared is actually the first sign of being brave? In Comet in Moominland, the ground trembles and the horizon glows ominously, yet the Moomins manage to stay curious, kind, and hopeful. With the help of each other, well-timed songs and a lot of pancakes, they realise that fear doesn’t have to stop you from moving forward. An animation by Karlotta Freier

The re-living of this historic trial through this film is relevant to current politics and disturbingly enjoyable to watch due to the excellent performances from the ensemble cast. If you like a juicy courtroom drama, this film will definitely scratch that itch in a really chilling manner.
One of the reasons I love watching movies is that, much like books, they serve as windows into other times and different places. Productions from around the world offer valuable insights into the history and culture of their respective countries. And just like literature, cinema can help us understand the present by showing us the past.
If you mix religious rituals with dark mythology, the result will be effective, and the story powerful in 90% of the cases. That is exactly what happens at the beginning of The Vigil.
