  • Michael Carlson - Irresistible Targets 

    It  has nothing to do with the famous poster of a woman in tennis whites rubbing her bottom, butTennis Girl, a 2013 short directed by Brazilian Daniel Barosa, and written by him with Humberto Palmas, packs a lot of emotion into its 15 minutes. It does it by showing very little but implying a lot. Ju is a pretty teenaged girl running late. She's snappy with her harried mother, she's distracted by text messages, and she's more interested in flirting with her tennis coach than actually having a lesson. On the face of it just a brief slice of a day in her life. But as Felipe, the coach, ignores he flirting and implores Ju to concentrate on her lesson, she runs off to the toilets. But she stops along the way, contemplating yet another call on her mobile, and for an instant  rubs her belly. We think back; the film opens with a shot of an empty corridor in the family's apartment; Ju eventually emerges from the loo. She skips eating, she ignores her mother and her godmother, and on the way out she barely has time f
  • Bruno Carmelo - Adoro Cinema 

    O curta-metragem brasileiro A Tenista, de Daniel Barosa, acompanha a história de uma adolescente rebelde, revoltada contra a mãe. O tom adotado pelo filme, tanto nos diálogos quanto na direção de fotografia, é de grande naturalidade, mas o aspecto que chama a atenção é o fato de ter sido feito inteiramente em plano-sequência, ou seja, em uma imagem ininterrupta, do início ao fim. O final pode ser abrupto, e o conflito da protagonista é um tanto banal, mas A Tenista se destaca por sua coerência.
  • Valentina Valentini - Movie Maker 

    What else is a good bet at Slamdance? According to Germanidi, the shorts are where tomorrow’s marquee names are duking it out today. “Slamdance has always been adept at finding new talent through shorts—Benh Zeitlin came to Slamdance with short films.” (She names “Viking,” “Salt,” “A Tenista,” and “Running Seasons” as narrative shorts to look out for.)
