I found this one the way I find them all — by watching. I reviewed it last year, and I couldn't let it go. The Wandering Island is now on the channel in full: an island that appears and vanishes, and a boy who wants to believe in it.
Watch it.

Before he won Ranina. Before Malta.
Davit Lomidze of Gori, nine years old, singing "Ananke" with Mgzavrebi — a boy standing inside a great band's song and making it his own.
Georgia chose well. Remember his name.

Étienne gives the feverish Bastien his own scarf — then stands in a broken doorway with a skinning knife so the boy can sleep two more minutes.

40,000 subscribers. Thank you.
Since 2005, theskykid.com has championed the small films — and the young performers who carry them — usually before anyone else noticed.
If a film ever raised you, you're home.

Saturday night, and I'm vibing to this. ELFIGO — fifteen years old, a full mainstage set in front of 10,000 people in Calais. I wrote this week that the answer is in their hands. Watch his.

Daniel Yastremski was fourteen when he sang "Time" for Belarus on home ground, at Junior Eurovision 2018 in Minsk. This acoustic version — with Kirill Good, the song's composer — strips it back to the voice it started with.

La miniserie de IT consiguió:
😱 Miedo intenso a los payasos. Lo que se conoce como coulrofobia.
🚿 Arruinó por completo la tranquilidad de ducharse para toda una generación.
Por cierto, esta escena no existe en el libro de Stephen King. Sin embargo, sigue siendo una de las más recordadas.
I've written about the eight boys behind the decks — the youngest generation of electronic music. ELFIGO played Tomorrowland at twelve years old. But it's Pulsar I keep going back to: , hard trance, all attitude and energy. The real thing.

I keep a small newsletter for the people who've followed theskykid.com all these years — new films, young singers and actors at their first break, and where Le Gamin goes next. It's free, and it's where my readers hear things first:

He went under in the crossfire. One hand never let go of him.

Chapter Three is the one I have been waiting to give you.
Le Gamin — The Price of Defiance is live. Bastien pays for the choice he made in the oak, and Étienne refuses to let him pay it alone.
Chapter Four tomorrow.

I did not find Alec Burette first.
The 12-year-old French pianist-composer finished 3rd at Junior Eurovision — but the professional juries placed him 1st. The public vote missed the quiet musicianship.
My late, sincere amplification:
