Watching the first teaser for Anna de Paoli's new German post-apocalyptic short, The Boy Who Wouldn't Kill, is a lot like looking into the past. Filmed in beautiful 16mm, the 24 minute short film has been made to look like an older picture and as a result looks like found footage from some unknown 70s relic.
Cinematographer Luciano Cervio deserves a lot of the credit here and I like the fact that it's not trying too hard to be a "grindhouse" movie. Just by reading the synopsis and seeing some of the poetic footage you can tell there's a brain in this one.
Synopsis:
Anjo and his family live on a chicken farm in the post apocalyptic desert. While his father constantly tries to teach him that killing is a necessity to survive, Anjo dreams of finding the last remains of civilization. After a desert pirate attack, a motorcycle is left behind.
