Musicotherapie
A. Isnard, M. Javelle, C. Picon
France, 2007, 5'30
A happy lab where the animals feed
themselves into blenders, chop bits off and generally go about
their loony experiments. The only unhappy one seems to be the
monkey in charge.

A-Z
Sally Arthur
UK, 2007, 3'15
A film as densely layered and with
as many twists & turns as the labyrinth streets of London. The
story of the woman who first created the A-Z directory map of London.

Dog
Hermann Karlsson
Iceland, 2006, 1'15
Man’s best friend deserves the
right send-off when it’s his time to go chase sticks in the
sky.

A Painful Glimpse
Into My Writing Process
Chel White
USA, 2006, 1'30
Somebody once said that writing was
easy – one simply had to sit down and open up a vein. Or drive
at crazy speed toward a cliff in a last ditch attempt to force the
brain to come up with a good idea. |
 |
A Vegetated Director
Priit Tender
Estonia, 2007, 2'30
A superbly nutty film for everybody
who ever thought their boss was no smarter than a pot plant. This
guy actually is! |
 |
Herr Bar
Clemens Kogler
Austria, 2007, 3'15
A kind of digital Pythonesque landscape
made up – and populated – entirely by hundreds upon
hundreds of hands. |
 |
Throwaway
Sandra Ensby
UK, 2007, 4'00
A couple have a rubbish argument |
 |
Bald Dad
Kristian Andrews
UK, 2007, 4'30
Love is blind, so the saying goes.
And perhaps no love is blinder than a small boy who simply looks
up to his Dad. |
 |
Demain
Alenda, Christophe
France, 2007, 4'00
A fantasising executioner dreams of
taking his skill with the guillotine to an adoring mainstream –
and interactive – audience. |
 |
Puzzled
Maarten Vranken
Belgium, 2006, 4'00
Pure fun! A glorious swirling maelstrom
of puzzle pieces. |
 |
L'homme A La Tete
De Poule
S. Jorget, A. Morales, R. Morales Axel
France, 2007, 5’30
It’s gotta be hard to play the
sax with a chicken’s head. And what will the audience make
of it? |
 |
Animal
Tatu Pohjavirta
Finland, 2007, 28'00
Where to begin??? A woman doctor mixes
up a small boy and a sheep during the chaos of a car accident. Clandestine
midnight surgery only makes things worse (a lot worse!) Then there’s
the wolf blanket…. that can’t be good! And how do you
squeeze a lamb into a little jumper? And how do you teach a sheep
to fly a kite? Maybe it’s just better to stick to the surface
and make everybody wear fleeces and fake body suits. Or maybe not.
