Four screenings review some of the hits, misses
and should-a-beens from those years - and, of course, how could
we go forward without including a program of Late Night Bizarre
highlights – you KNOW you want it!

Fantasie In Bubblewrap
Arthur Metcalf
USA, 2007, 3'45
Even bubblewrap has feelings. Lots of feelings.
Especially when you start popping them one at a time. They begin to
wonder out loud which bubble will be next.  |

The Bastard
Dave
Quion
USA, 2005, 3'00
Mild-mannered Johnny goes berserk when his computer crashes. Really
berserk. |
 |
Susie
Cathy
Snelling
UK, 2006, 3'45
Even a written synopsis for this would
have problems passing the censor. A knitted exploration of…well…..
personal bits! |
 |
Global Warming
Sheldon Lieberman, Igor Coric
Australia,
2007, 2'00
One of the most popular Late Night Bizarre films ever! A hilarious
musical homage to denialism. |
 |
Journey To The Disney
Vault
David Wachtenheim, Robert Marianetti
USA, 2006, 3'00
A wicked, behind-the-scenes look at what happened to ol' Walt's head
– among other scary Mouseland outrages. |
 |
Saddam And Osama
David Wachtenheim, Robert Marianetti
USA, 2003, 3'45
Politically incorrect – check. Horribly slanderous – check.
Too hilarious not to screen – check. Let’s screen this
baby! |
 |
Hairy Driving
Jem Roberts
UK,
2004, 3'00
They don't come much crazier than this. Two guys trying to shoot an
illegal car-chase movie cross paths with a very unusual cat. |
 |
Sub
Jesse
Schmal
USA, 2000, 8'30
A submarine crew trapped inside a fountain attempt an attack on a
soccer team of nuns and a gourmet dog. |
 |
Contamination
Carl Stevenson

A glimpse into a dystopian future in which the cross-contamination
of genetic material has resulted in a world of hybrid lifeforms. |
 |
Cuddle Sticks
Mike Geiger
USA,
2008, 2'30
This film got the biggest audience groan of any we've ever shown.
Crossing a line that even Kricfalusi might have stopped at –
a demented look at the murky origins of 'organic' kiddie treats. |
 |
Golden Age: Hansel
And Gretel
Aaron Augenblick
USA, 2007, 3'00
The shameful truth of a forbidden love deep in the forest, somewhere
near the end of the trail of breadcrumbs. |
 |
The Evil Empire
Russell Lowe, Federico Solmi

2008, 4'15
A porn-crazed Pope sends an army into battle. NOTE: Contains content
of a graphic sexual nature which may offend some people. |
 |
Ah Pook Is Here
Phil Hunt
UK,
1999, 6'30
“After I become Death, Death is the seed
from which I grow”. One of the most atmospheric animated films
ever made. Featuring the voice of William Burroughs and the music
of John Cale. |
 |
I Live In The Woods
Max Winston
USA,
2007, 3'45
It has to be every crazed hillbilly's dream to kill all the animals
with his bare hands. But what about God? Is nothing sacred? If you
like your Gods all-powerful and INTACT, this is probably not the film
for you. |
 |
Billy's Balloon
Don Hertzfeldt
USA,
1999, 5'00
One of the most popular animated films every made. Only the hilarious
genius of Mr Hertzfeldt could so comprehensively capture the pure
evil that beats in the heart of every balloon. |
 |
Gravitation
Priit Tender
Estonia,
1996, 9'00
A complex, utterly surreal examination of both youth and the animation
art-form in their determination to ignore the physical laws of nature.
Or something! |
