In 2008, when #Vadata won the Tabloid Witch Award for Best Dramatic Horror Short Film, I interviewed director Manuel Lebelt, which I reprint below: A stranger leaves a puzzle piece outside a writer's door. More pieces follow. The writer never learns who's leaving the pieces, but foolishly, he completes the puzzle. Whereupon, a strange and supernatural event occurs. Vadata (11 minutes) is a German film, though it isn't evident because its simple tale has no dialogue. It's what some critics call "pure cinema," relying solely on visuals and sounds to tell a story. Filmmaker #ManuelLebelt creates an eerie and menacing atmosphere -- through photography, lighting, art direction, and sound effects -- that is thick enough to convince viewers in his tale's malevolent supernatural powers. Every noise, from a ticking clock to outside street traffic, is an integral part of the story. As with Rubinstein's images, Lebelt's sound effects build up to an atmosphere of impending and inevitable supernatural doom. Lebelt explains that "Vadata" comes from "Vadatajs," a type of Latvian demon. "The #Vadatajs make people lose their way, or take the wrong direction on crossroads, and as they do, their souls lose their way too. 'Vadatajs' means something like 'leading to nowhere,' which is what happens to the writer in the film. "I wanted to do an old school, mystery horror kind of thing. To abandon the guts 'n gore of many horror films. Which doesn't mean I don't like that kind of movie. But there doesn't have to be a huge, greedy monster, a maniac on the loose, or hordes of rotten zombies lusting for human brains to have a nice, fantastic plot. Quiet ways can scare as well. Sometimes even better. "And I didn't want dialogue. I wanted to create suspense without direct interaction between actors. So the lonely writer came about. The spiral staircase is a symbol for infinity, the central theme in Vadata. The writer seems to be lonely since the first day of his life, endlessly typing on his old typewriter. The series of envelopes on his threshold seems to have no end. The staircase leads further and further. Nobody knows when the 'bad guy,' dressed clichéd in black, began his evil work, and when he will end. He simply goes upstairs and upstairs, while his victims go down. Lebelt cast his film using German online casting portals. Then his first choice was injured doing stuntwork on another production, so Lebelt recruited his second pick, André Ebert. "Retrospectively, AndréEbert was perfect for the character," says Lebelt. "I love the closeups of his face. He was very companionable, very insightful." Vadata is Lebelt's directorial debut, and his "diploma project" at #OffenburgUniversity of Applied Sciences in Germany. The set for the writer's apartment was built in a studio at the university. "The spiral staircase was in a castle ruin," says Lebelt. "It felt like we visited thousands of ruins during the search. Luckily, the commune granted access and was very accommodating." Vadata was shot by DP #FabianZenker on a DVCProHD. "At college we didn't have access to film cameras," Lebelt explains, "but we had a Panasonic HVX200, so we tried the DVCProHD and the P2 Memory Card. The camera's chip needs much light -- which we didn't always have -- so some pictures are a bit noisy. Apart from that, I'm thrilled with what we, and especially Fabian, got out of it. "Post-production was made with FinalCutPro for editing, After Effects for the FX, and ProTools for sound design." Screened at nearly 50 international film festivals, Vadata won Best Photography at #Orvietocortofest in Orvieto, Italy. It also won Best Film, Best Photography, and the Audience Award at #Bornshorts in Gudhjem, Denmark. A German pay TV channel, "13th Street," licensed Vadata for their "Shocking Shorts" film program. Prof. Dr. #HeinerBehring was Vadata's supervising professor. Lebelt graduated in 2007. He is an assistant digital colorist at #Scanwerk, a post-production company in Munich. -- written by Thomas M.

In 2009, when #HeDiesAtTheEnd won the Tabloid Witch Award for Best Horror Feature Film, I interviewed director Damian McCarthy, which I reprint below: A man is working in an office, late one night. He's alone. The lights are dim. His computer asks him if he'd like to know how he will die. He Dies at the End is a simple film. One room, one actor, no dialogue, under 5 minutes. Yet in that brief time span, with those few elements, the film does everything a great horror film should do. It establishes a creepy atmosphere, heightens suspense, and ends on a genuine scare. Many longer, bigger budgeted horror films offer less suspense and no real scares, earning He Dies at the End 2009's Tabloid Witch for Best Dramatic Horror Short Film. He Dies at the End comes from Ireland, making this the second year that Best Dramatic Horror Short went to a foreign film. In 2008, the award went to Germany's #Vadata, another minimalist tale. Yes, the Tabloid Witch appreciates minimalist horror. #Oculus won 2006's Best Horror Short. All three of these films were mostly limited to one room, starring one actor each. You don't need big budgets to tell a scary story. "I wanted to make an old-fashioned supernatural horror film," says writer/director #DamianMcCarthy. "The story's universal. Everyone in the world has felt uneasy while on their own in some place. "In the last few years, every horror film is tie them up, cut them up. Every possible way to kill someone must have been filmed; it's not scary anymore. They're fun to watch, but they don't leave you looking over your shoulder. I wanted to see if I could scare an audience with a non-violent, black and white, dialogue free film. "Horror filmmakers have a big arsenal of ghosts, demons, monsters, the devil. He Dies at the End relies on the unknown, which is the most terrifying thing as the audience imagines all sorts of horrible possibilities." McCarty cites #EvilDead2 and #Ringu as influences. The latter "is the most terrifying, unsettling and simple horror film ever made. It is all suggestion. If they show you something to be afraid of, it's just a glimpse or a reflection in a TV screen." As with Oculus and Vadata, He Dies at the End makes admirable use of sound. Because there's no dialogue, sounds assume greater importance in establishing atmosphere and suspense. "Sound -- and more importantly, silence -- in Ringu was a huge inspiration for He Dies At The End," says McCarthy. "Evil Dead 2 was a big influence for it's balance between comedy and horror." Of his sole actor, #FintanCollins, McCarthy says, "All Fintan had to rely on was his facial expressions, and his turns and glances to the door. Fintan's a true film actor. He knows the camera will pick up every little blink. He did a great job keeping things sedate in the beginning, and subtle when the horror kicks in. It would have broken the tension if it had been played with more obvious terror in his face." McCarthy studied film and TV production at #StJohnsCollege, in Cork, Ireland. He's writing his first feature script. His next short film, Hatch, will premiere at the #NewYorkCityHorrorFilmFestival. He Dies at the End was shot on HDV, in black and white for atmosphere. "I wanted the office to be full of shadows and dark corners," says McCarthy. "Black and white in horror movies suggests the threat is more supernatural -- like a ghost or demon. It gives the office a haunted house look. There were practical reasons too. (1) I wanted the questions posted onscreen to stand out clearly. (2) We had no money. Our monster was not exactly #HRGiger's #Alien, so we needed to keep him as dark as possible. In the end, though, I think that he did look fairly rubbish added to the whole thing." The film was edited on Final Cut Pro. "I did the music on Garage Band. I used industrial generator and pulsing noises for the atmosphere." The film premiered at #Film4Frightfest in London. Since then "it has screened all over the world. And now the Tabloid Witch Awards Best Dramatic Horror Short, which is an amazing honor and something I am extremely proud of. I am a big fan of Oculus, a previous winner, so it's nice to have our film in such company. -- written by Thomas M.

Ainult küsimus: kriminalistikas soovitatakse uurijatel ühe esimese asjana vadata "kus on raha". Venemaa droonirünnakute koha pealt võiks mõelda: kellele/millele nn "Venemaa rünnakud NATO riikide vastu" on kasulikumad? Kas Venemaale elik Ukrainale ja olematu toetusega Euroopa nomenklatuurile?
