Wissenswertes

The Coriolis Effect is a 1994 short black-and-white film starring James Wilder, Jennifer Rubin, Dana Ashbrook and Corinne Bohrer, featuring a voice-only appearance from Quentin Tarantino. It was written and directed by Louis Venosta, and it was produced by Kathryn Arnold and Secondary Modern Motion Pictures.

Background

The independent film was premiered in America at the New York New Directors/New Films Festival on March 26, 1994. It was the winning short film at the Venice Film Festival of 1994, where it won Venosta the Telepiù Award.

The film was released in America on both VHS and DVD via Vanguard Cinema. The release, Kisses in the Dark, compromises four independent award-winning short films: The Coriolis Effect, Solly's Diner, Looping and Joe. The artwork for the release highlighted The Coriolis Effect as the main film, with Rubin pictured on the front and both Rubin and Wilder's names credited, whilst noting the cameo appearance of Tarantino.

Seemingly, the film dated back a couple of years before its release, where in The Hollywood Reporter of October 7, 1991, the issue noted that "Principal photography was completed last month in northern Texas on 'The Coriolis Effect,' a short film written and directed by Louis Venosta."

For the film's limited theatrical release, it was paired up as a double feature with a 1993 German short film, Making Up!. On October 21, 1994, the Los Angeles Daily News noted that the pairing of the films would court disaster. "Putting the short films 'The Coriolis Effect' and 'Making Up!' together on the same bill, as the Nuart has this week, is like fixing up RuPaul, the cross-dressing entertainer, on a blind date with a tomboy.
