Documentary Review: 'The Astrology of Pandemics'
Can astrology be used to predict pandemics? It's a question most people probably haven't thought about lo these many months, but is at the epicenter of this documentary, made in response to COVID-19. Looking back at other pandemics throughout history, The Astrology of Pandemics sets out to see if astrology has a connection to how pandemics of the past progress--and if it could be used to predict and prepare for future epidemics. With astrology's status as a pseudoscience, it's almost a guarantee that there's going to be some people that will reject this notion on principle. I must confess, as open-minded as I am, there are parts of this film that had me thinking, "OK, you're starting to lose me with how far you're reaching..."

Documentary Review: 'Narratives of Modern Genocide'
As 2020 made clear with the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, racism is still alive and well. While many would like to believe that we've left this kind of irrational hate behind, we're still a long way off from eradicating bigotry from our society--if such a thing is even possible. That's one of the unspoken themes of Narratives of Modern Genocide, a documentary that focuses on the stories of two genocidal attack survivors. While just about everyone knows about the Holocaust, this documentary centers on two lesser-known genocides: the 1970s Cambodian genocide committed by the communist regime known as "The Khmer Rouge" and the massacres that marked the 1993-2005 Burundi Civil War.

Short Film Reviews: National Doctor's Day
While COVID-19 has ravaged the world and dragged plenty of businesses into a standstill, the medical world has been busier than ever. The workload was no doubt nightmarish, between the virus's destructive spread and all the misinformation that arose from COVID-19 becoming a centerpiece of the political mayhem that marked this past election. But as of this writing, it seems that an end to the pandemic may finally be in sight, and it's all thanks to the hard-working medical professionals out there who refused to let COVID stop them from helping those in need. So with this year's National Doctor's Day coming at a time when doctors have done so much to combat a devastating disease, here's a review list of 6 short films focusing on a doctor and/or the world of medicine:

Short Film Reviews: Women's History Month
Since #MeToo went viral in 2017 (eleven years after activist Tarana Burke founded the movement), it can't be denied that it brought massive changes to the entertainment industry and society as a whole. Serial sex predators were exposed, abuses of power against women were brought to light, and a culture of sexism that was once tolerated and accepted was called out for what it was. And while there's still plenty of work to be done, society has definitely made great strides toward gender equality in the past years. So in celebration of Women's History Month, I'll be taking a look at a few short films created by female filmmakers. With an evenly split selection of films from Short of the Week and Omeleto (my go-to sources for short films), let's begin!
