Because we don't have time every day for a film, here's a small selection of three excellent short films. Recent, in three very different horror registers from France, Switzerland and Belgium, they will in turn disgust you, terrify you, make you laugh and move.

They are salivating
Isolated in an apartment where filters a ray of light, a couple simmers and then kisses at length. After hugging, the woman spits the saliva of the kiss in a glass. Later, the room fills with people, a party is organized. One of the participants grabs the glass where the saliva of the kiss still stagnates, and swallows while thinking of drinking a shot.
Resolutely disturbing, They are salivating Take the guts. First of all, thanks to the evanescent image, located in the cloudy darkness of an apartment in which only a ray of external clarity shines, without specifying whether it is the day or the night, the sun or the moon. The loss of marks settles, accentuated by this torque which is not really known if they suffocate or suffocate. Love or violence, doubt settles. At least until the kiss, bringing to the short film all its sensuality: suctions, saliva sounds, regurgitations... The sound design takes the viewer to nausea, and to a body horror But, paradoxically, eminently poetic.
Rise & Shine
Nancy's boredom closes in her gas station shop, and it's not the announcement of the apocalypse that will get her excited. Yet, a strange customer may, against all expectations, succeed in giving meaning to his life...
Rise & Shine offers pop imagery, carried by the ultimate training scene All the Swiss cinema: zombie training. Ultra funny, full of neons to make pale Nicolas Winding Refn and offering beautiful gore effects, it's a very nice surprise from last year.

You died, Helen.
Maxime lives as a couple with her girlfriend Helene... who died recently. Weary of this life with a ghost, he'll decide to break up. Unfortunately, however, it does not seem to have the same view.
Big crush of selection of the Night of the Court 2022 and having done well in festivals, You died Helen is a real movie jewel. Combining humour, horror and emotion, his director Michiel Blanchart is losing his weight. A future great career in perspective?
