"The Symbol of Peace" was a rare case where I didn't want the film to end. It's short, it's informative, and it creates an aura of peace with its visuals, movement, and music. It doesn't rely on Enya or Sigur Rós to give it that sense of tranquility but instead creates something new and refreshing.
This film played at the 2012 Austin Film Festival, and though I missed it while there, I had an opportunity to meet the director. Seeing the film after the fact, I'm even that much more impressed that he was only 17 years old. It will be interested to see where Mr. Vel goes from here. "The Symbol of Peace" is a good step in a great direction.
