Numerous screenwriters and directors have often dealt in their films with the theme of borders, whether literal and officially recognised, like military ranks or state frontiers, or abstract and metaphorical, like those of morality, justice, race, and gender, along with several others. As a consequence, as John Gibbs points out, one could assemble these movies, especially those taking place on the confines between Mexico and United States, under the label of ‘border films’ (2002: 27); thus contextualising them in a very specific tradition, which includes pictures such as Touch of Evil (Orson Welles 1958) or The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (Tommy Lee Jones 2005). Accordingly, another notable movie belonging to the ‘border film tradition’ is Lone Star: an acclaimed 1996 hybrid of western and mystery film conventions, directed and written by independent filmmaker John Sayles. The picture recounts the story of a murder investigation, which leads the main character, Sheriff Sam

Tim’s Vermeer Tim’s Vermeer is a documentary film. It is about the struggle of a man to recreate a painting of Vermeer by seeing a rebuilding of the studio of Vermeer through a mirror arrangement.

He spent approximately 130 days to create a perfect and flawless imitation of Vermeer’s music lesson. He finally reached to the conclusion that the double mirror technique is a practical clarification for the distinctively lifelike painting style of Vermeer (Howard).

The Other Pair is a very moving and motivational video, which made me understand that we have to change our thoughts, we should seek to help, offer or give to others without expecting anything back. The whole story of this short movie is basically revolving around two young boys who acted in such a selfless and generous way, that in their purity, they were teaching an important lesson to everybody who watched the movie. The entire movie was filmed in natural daylight, which I think makes everything look much more clear and natural looking rather than harsh studio lightning. The main characters of the movie were a poor young boy wearing worn out clothing & another kid who appeared to have a place from a rich family.
