Lebensader
Angela Steffen
Germany, 2009, 6'00
A beautifully drawn film with fluid hints
of Pacific Northwest Native American visual culture. A little girl
finds the whole world inside a leaf.

The Art Of
Drowning
Diego Maclean
Canada, 2009, 3'00
A deceptively simple dissertation on what
awaits us at the end of the line.

Cornelis
Ayaka Nakata
Japan, 2008, 3'30
Eyes closed, Cornelis
drifts to the centre of his space. A graceful, imaginative dance.

Music!
Geoffroy Moneyron
France, 2009, 3'45
A stunning digital montage
that follows a very special clown in the midst of a hyperactive vacuuming
mission. |
 |
Los Estrandados
Derek Evanick
USA, 2009, 7’00
One of the crazier
films we got in the mail this year - a strange, hilarious little tale
of desert-island dysfunction.

Six Steps
Ju-Young Ban
South Korea, 2009, 5'00
Escaping the periscope spies, one twin girl
makes a run for it when water starts coming in through the fireplace.

The Azure Soul
Julia Gromskaya
Italy, 2009, 4'00
If Monet animated, this is what we might have

Road Runner
Zac Wong
USA, 2009, 3'30
With more than an unknowing nod to McLaren,
we follow a wild ride down a suburban street. |
 |
Birds
Filipe Abranches
Portugal, 2009, 7'00
An air of Hitchcockian evil takes flight from
every frame of this sinister misadventure, which follows an old woman
obsessed with birds and her son who thinks he can fly (and quite possibly
can). |
 |
Yulia
Antoine Arditti
France, 2009, 5'45
In a flash, Yulia suddenly vanishes from her
kitchen only to find herself in the middle of a closed room and on
the receiving end of some absurd events. |
 |
Garbage Angels
Pierre M. Trudeau
Canada, 2008, 6'00
An enchanting world filled with herds and swarms
of creatures created entirely from the detritus of everyday life.
|

Mixed Bag
Isabelle Favez
Switzerland, 2009, 7'15
A tale of greed, betrayal, cheap suitcases -
and more greed and betrayal. A day in the life of a bag of lovely,
lovely cash. |
 |
The Kinematograph
Tomek Baginski
Poland, 2009, 12’15
Francis, a humble clerk and a self-taught inventor
had it all, it seemed: a big house in a small town, a lot of free
time and a loving wife. But….. |
