Jingle Bells: RFK - 1964

Surrounded by his children, his wife Ethel, and Sammy Davis, Jr., RFK visits schoolchildren around the city, and is every bit the good patriarch and dutiful public servant. But it’s the films’ fleeting, in-between, moments where Pennebaker most precisely hits the mark, offering reflection on the possibilities that Robert Kennedy’s all too brief life foreclosed. Set against the pageantry of a long ago Christmas, the film speaks to tragic contingencies of history lying far beyond the ken of politics that continue to circumscribe the tortured destiny of our country.

The first film by director Tim Sullivan; this short tells the story of Jason, a young boy who, after hearing something in his house on Christmas Eve decides to go investigate.There isn't a lot to say about this, especially because it's only five minutes long. However, I will say that it was a very ambitious first attempt for Sullivan (who was 21 at the time) and that the award he received from Fangoria his efforts were well deserved.If you want to see an interesting short film centered around the holidays, consider checking this out. It's a fun good time to bring your friends together and make it into a marathon.6.5/10
