For Short Film Saturday for most of the coming year I will revisit the animated shorts that were presented in snippets by the King of Cartoons on Pee-Wee’s Playhouse. And here you’ll get to see the whole thing.
This film can be viewed at this link.

When I reintroduced Monochromatic Monday I didn’t really lay out a plan about how or when I’d bring back the themes mentioned in my Manifesto. However, when I happened to discover this music video by Bad Bunny it reminded me that I have from time to time done a Music Video Monday as well and it is worthy of such a spotlight. The reasons are clear: first, its an homage to Nosferatu. Second, Steve Buscemi is in it. Third, in what’s already an homage to Nosferatu it drops a perfectly done Dalí/Hitchcock reference. Fourth, it’s just damn good in its own right in terms of editing, blocking, cinematography, set design, and performance.

Looking back at my Manifesto that I posted upon launching this website, it promised certain persistent themed posts. Rather than going back and editing something written by a much younger man, I’ll try to stick more closely to it by reintroducing these themes that have appeared sparsely at best over the years.
First, I’ll bring back Monochromatic Monday, featuring a black and white film that was easy to find free online.
Every year new films are available to the public domain. This makes certain classics that were easier to find for aficionados more readily available and I’ve always like sharing these films here.
I figured an ideal choice to recommence would be The Passion of Joan of Arc. It’s a riveting silent that tells a familiar tale, but employ canted camera angles, dynamic edits to make this a film that was ahead of its time and is still vibrant nearly 100 years later.
I’ve included links to both a YouTube version but also included I link to the Internet Archive for higher resolution, downloadable versions, and as a failsafe if the YouTube link breaks.
