Story Ville
M. Nove-Josserand, P. Kraft, F. Mounie, France, 6'00
A mournful, jazz rabbit carefully lays his trusty old trumpet
to rest – provoking an unpredictable but rousing response.
Moments Of I Don't Know
Meghana Bisineer, UK, 5'00
Deceptively simple, elegant hand drawn animation following the
ebbs and flows of an everyday conversation.
Songs From The Haven Of Despair
Jazzmen Lee-Johnson, USA, 6'30
A film that draws from a rich gallery of stencil & street
art imagery with a great soundtrack thrown in for good measure.
Soldier
David Peros-Bonnot, Croatia, 4'30
A statue of a soldier runs amok amidst a cityscape of questions
and plots.
Sarah's Tale
Svetlana Filipova, Russia, 5'30
A stylistic tour-de-force; hand-drawn Russian animation at it
finest. A simple tale of life in a snowy village.
Without An Of
Brian Bloss, USA, 3'00
An intense, visually arresting tracking shot of a desperate rush
down a street – with a twist and a push at the end.
Bows And Arrows
Stephen Irwin, UK, 6'00
‘Animated comic strip meets B Grade city crusher movie’
style. A very bad robot hits the streets. Our only hope is ….”The
Fat Weevil”.
Carnivore Reflux
The People's Republic of Animation, Australia, 7'00
A delicious, juicy look into humankinds carnivorous ways.
Endangered Species
Tony White, UK, 10'30
Can you imagine a world without hand drawn animation? It’s
not happening but this animator definitely feels on the endangered
list.
X.Pression
Laurie Thinot, France, 3'15
A visual tsunami of rich, x.treme, x.citing visual imagery –
straight from the electric socket to the big screen.
Yarn…Good Light Is Essential
Reka Gacs, UK, 3'00
A thousand uses for. A fascinating film showing that all an animator
really needs is a single line and a really good idea.
Weekend en Foret
A.Loic, S. Mathieu, Z. Xavier, France, 6’45
Four young people spend a nightmarish weekend inside a house in
the forest.
The Tale Of How
The Blackheart Gang, South Africa, 4'30
A film of such intense, magnificent visual splendour that words
fail us. A veritable cauldron of imagery from an uber animated
world beneath the sea.
The White Wolf
Pierre-Luc Granjon, France, 8’00
A delightful fable about a child who manages to tame a huge white
wolf – to ride on it.
