I discovered a new short film, The Green Knight (2022) based on Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
It is on Amazon for purchase but also free on YouTube.

Trendy on The Green Knight
From the latest number of Arthuriana comes more on The Green Knight:
Tredy, Dennis. "‘The forme to the fynisment foldes ful selden’ (l.499): A Comparison of David Lowery’s Screenplay and His 2021 Film Adaptation The Green Knight." Arthuriana, vol. 34 no. 1, Spring 2024, pp. 21-44. Project MUSE, https://doi.org/10.1353/art.2024.a924597.
Abstract:
This study closely compares David Lowery’s film The Green Knight to his 2018 screenplay, detailing the many changes he made during two months of filming in 2019 and in post-production. These include changes due to location choices and budget, those regarding Lowery’s use of literary and cinematic subtexts, those made to his main characters (both male and female), and structural modifications distorting the linearity of the storyline. The analysis reveals Lowery’s organic filmmaking techniques, his changing priorities and how one’s vision at the outset of such an endeavor does indeed seldom match its final form.
