Catch Up on the Blog

We’re always keeping tabs on directors who have been featured on the YDA blog, and wouldn’t you know it they just keep surprising us. Anyway, here’s a couple of new films from old young directors that caught our eye. Enjoy!

First up there’s Kent Hugo, who we featured as part of the collective &a&k&d with their rather psychotropic promo Combed for Babe Rainbow. He’s back with the equally mental In Spain. But this time we’re thinking less Timothy Leary and more Louis Wain – and who can resist the charms of anthropomorphised cats? On holiday? IN SPAIN? This video cheered us up no end.

Eran Hilleli was last featured on the blog back in February when he was still a student at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design. Now he’s graduated – and talking about graduating in style! His final film Between Bears is just breathtakingly beautiful – inspired by Fleet Foxes White Winter Hymnal.

Korean animator Seong Yoon Jo was first featured on the blog with her whimsical short Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door, which followed a seed to plant heaven (yes, like we said, whimsical). Anyway, we also really dig her film In The Beginning, an abstract, geometric take on Genesis.
