He wants to properly impress the girl - after all, what's not exciting about teaching film? Only, much of his day consists of grading papers, copying papers, teaching filmmaking in theory, and helping his students with trivial tasks on set - in other words, trivial things. But what's trivial for one person might still be an adventure for a kid ... <p> <p>Above all, <b>Niece Day</b> is a very sweet short: Sure, it might not have the most exciting of premises, but then again the film has lots of heart, is totally relatable and at the same time pretty amusing. And a suitably subtle directorial effort paired with very natural performances make the whole thing flow rather beautifully, and make this roughly 12 minutes well spent. <p>  </td> <td width="4" rowspan="2"></td> <td width="100" rowspan="2" background="../stylepix/squareright.gif" valign="top">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2023"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
