58
Kristian Andrews, UK, 2'30
A simple idea brilliantly executed. A single line drawing capturing
the big and little details of the humble bus ride.
Shuteye Hotel
Bill Plympton, USA, 7’00
A film noir murder mystery that takes place in a sleazy hotel.
As cops investigate the gruesome murders they become victims of
this evil force. What "Jaws" did to swimming, "Shuteye
Hotel" will do for sleeping.
En Tus Brazos
FX Goby, E. Jouret, M. Landour, France, 5'15
A deco infused, tango spectacular. Jorge Moreno, tango dancer
of the century, finds some special iinspiration after an accident.
Bendito Machine
Jossie Malis, Spain, 4’30
Two civilisations summon the gods in this peculiar game of king
of the hill. Who will come out on top?
Birdcalls
Malcolm Sutherland, Canada, 5’00
A flock of callers has just left a message for all of us.
Forget Me Not
Kim Noce, UK, 3’00
An elderly woman recalls bygone memories of her three imaginary
pets.
Come Rain or Shine
Lucy Izzard, UK, 2'30
A (not so) tongue and cheek take on the ups and downs of British
weather.
Do You Mind?
David Myriam, France, 3'30
Out where an imagination is allowed to gracefully dance free there
is a world of ever changing styles and details.
Not The End
Clemens Steiger, Switzerland, 10'00
Freddy has just ended an affair, but the cactus on the balcony
ledge still requires tending. A prickly tale of astronauts and
wilted love.
Lost In Snow
Vladimir Leschiov, Latvia, 8'00
One man’s quiet day fishing through a hole in the ice is
disrupted (to say the least) by the unannounced arrival of a cosmonaut.
Crossing The Stream
Skip Battaglia, USA, 4'00
An absorbing meditation on water …. and on the way water
is animated. A view from both sides of the divide.
Recto Verso
Gabriel Jacquel, France, 8'00
You can’t mix black and white. It doesn’t work –
there’s no middle ground just lots of boundaries to push.
No Room for Gerold
Daniel Nocke, Germany, 5’00
After ten long years in his flat Gerold the crocodile is being
thrown out, but does Ellen the wildebeest have something to do
with it?
Taste Of Life
Ulo Pikkov, Estonia, 11'15
Extreme massage as a metaphor for the big issues of life. A truly
bizarre film that will tie you in knots.
