    "This Short Movie About An Endless Future War Looks Unspeakably Great"

    'Check out the trailer for The Shaman, a new short film debuting at the Tribeca Film Festival. As with a lot of short films we've seen lately, this has top-notch visual effects — but more than that, it looks like a thing of pure beauty. And it has an original story, with a concept I haven't come across before.

    Basically, in The Shaman, it's 2204, and the world has been at war for 73 years. And the main character isn't a soldier — he's a Shaman, one of a group of people who used to be healers. But now, instead, he uses his supernatural powers to "heal" the souls of the enemy, basically helping them cross over into the afterlife. That's what I get from the trailer, in any case. This is the work of writer/director Marco Kalantari (Ainoa).'
