For Abby’s Beautiful Film Week
I had to go into work super early today, so I went to bed at 7 last night and was not able to post my beautiful film for Thursday. I’ll try and post two today to catch up. Originally, thinking about the week ahead, I had wanted to post about the movie Science of Sleep, which was the last movie I loved enough to purchase and absolutely beautiful (if you haven’t seen it, please do). Looking through other people’s contributions to BFW, I’ve seen it covered already, so I chose another. One of the best lines in Science of Sleep was when Stephen says “she makes things with her hands”, well I think that line perfectly describes Christiane Cegavske who made the today’s movie entirely by her own hands. Thursday’s film is the stop motion film Blood Tea and Red String. This is the kind of movie that is so perfectly new and refreshingly different that I had somehow put this idea in my head that it was a foreign film. You don’t need to ask how delighted I was to discover that Christiane made this movie here in the states, over a span of many years. Once again, this is a different kind of movie and not for everyone. It has no dialog and is pretty macabre. Rent the movie here; and PLEASE watch all the extras and commentary, they are half the enjoyment of the film. Christiane also has her own youtube channel where you can watch a few other shorts she has done. And her website is here

Just to let you know, as you’ve been posting these, I’ve been adding them to my queue. I moved this one in particular to the top!
