International Programme #1

Tuesday 21 August 7pm Curzon Soho

Friday 24 August 9pm Renoir

The Pearce Sisters
Luis Cook, UK, 9’00
An instant Aardman classic! The black-hearted tale of two weather-beaten spinsters who eke out a rather dismal existence from catching and smoking fish.

Once Upon A Time 
J. Dernoncourt, S. Deroubaix, C. Laplatte, France, 5'30
Clever & bizarre – a rollicking cavalcade of steam powered, wind up, mixed media madness.

The Foxhole Manifesto        
Nick Fox-Gieg, USA, 4'15
A laconic, slow-burn pub poem on the pros and cons of interpreting the many possible paths to (a) God.

A Journey Across Grandmother     
Meghana Bisineer, UK, 5'15
Gorgeously drawn film gracefully tracing the various threads of a relationship between grandmother and granddaughter.

La Marche Des Sans Nom
L. Vigroux, N. Laverdure, J Constantial, France, 5'45
An intensely detailed film tapping a richly delicious, tormented surrealist vein of dancing through devastation.

The Lecture
Clint Cure, Australia, 4'00
“Animation’s Hard!”. “Hard”. “There’s no short cuts”. “No short cuts”. Two animation lecturers nut it out over a beer.

Journey To The Disney Vault
Robert Marianetti, David Wachtenheim, Glen Steinmacher, USA, 3'15
A wicked, behind the scenes look at what happened to Walt’s head – among other scary Mouseland outrages.

The Red Shoe
Magnus Fredriksson, Sweden, 4'15
A lady’s red shoe floats past a fisherman. An odd tale mixing corrupt local officials and mobile defibrillators.

Carlitopolis
Luis Nieto, France, 4'00
An experiment in mini marsupial slicing, inflating and exploding – all in the name of science, of course!

Ten Thousand Pictures Of You
Robin King, UK, 3'00
Hell hath no fury like an animator scorned.

Weiss
Florian Grolig, Germany, 5'15
Stunning and uber imaginative – a vision that could only be realised through animation. A figure walks through a fracturing landscape.

Blindman's Bluff
Isabel Herguara, Spain, 7'15
A visually extravagant film – ironically – exploring the world of the blind.

Dreams & Desires: Family Ties
Joanna Quinn, UK, 9'45
The latest tour de force from this master animator. A wedding video spirals wildly out of control.

The Man Who Waited
Theodore Ushev, Canada, 7'30
A bold & striking, wood-cut styled adaptation of the classic Kafka tale.

Jeu
Georges Schwizgebel, Switzerland, 3'00
The full scale of Schwizgebel’s unique ability to construct a rolling panorama of swirling, colourful perspective bending landscapes is given full flight in his latest masterpiece.
