The Gilic is just remarkable in the way it sustains such an eerie atmosphere for half an hour - I loved it. I enjoyed aspects of the Bernard, too, but it certainly felt less cohesive than the previous two.

Does anyone have a copy of Common Air to upload? Trying to get my vote in before the deadline.

really strong round, the bernard contains some mindblowing moments, but i found it hard to relate all the elements, so it was the sum of its parts and no more. the gilic was hypnotic and disturbing and i haven't had that experience with a film in a long while, and in all of the shorts so far i've been impressed with how gilic thinks about sound, same was true here. so while i think the bernard film deserves to fare better than to be shut out, i still have to vote

gotta mostly just echo flip's sentiments. the bernard was certainly nice, but the gilic is my fav discovery of the cup, and one of the more surreal and disturbing pieces of art i've ever seen
