The Old, Old,
Very Old Man

An intriguing continuous pan across a
strangely active sepia-hued panorama |

their ageing relatives succumb to slow onset of memory loss and dementia.

The year’s best entry in the “two angry old men

Life Is Sweet
Ray Lu
Australia 2007, 1’45
Beautifully drawn. A stream of excuses
for bad behaviour and poorly thought out plans. |
 |
Heather
Edward Suckling
UK
2007, 5’15
A bold black and white film taking us to the very brink of
sanity as we follow Heather through a tortured rationale only she
could concoct. |
 |
For Annie
Amy Collen, Andy Collen
USA 2006, 6’00
With a subtle understated style, “For
Annie” takes us on the gentlest of rides through the velvet
madness of a classic Edgar Allan Poe tale. |
 |
In A Pig’s
Eye
John Paul Molloy
Australia
2007, 5’15
Hell hath no fury like a butcher spurned. A crime of passion
dripping in excess. |

The Shoes
Wenchunng Lu

Finalist 33rd Annual Student Academy Awards
Having the ultimate shoes would be great
– but you don’t need them to win the race.

The story of Stig the budding nature poet,
the Blueberry King, and a girl who throws a mean blue shoe. |

An entrancing painted dance of nature.

The Tourists
Malcolm Sutherland

They’re everywhere! All shapes and sizes – some of them
are even on fire (good thing too!)
|
 |
Blossom In Blue
AC Vives, G Arrighi, J Lenoble
France 2007, 5’00
Gershiwn’s classic ‘Rhapsody In Blue’ is
but the starting point for this intensely detailed magnificently imagined
bar-room pastiche. |
 |
Tar Boy
James Lee
Australia 2007, 6’15
A heartily told tale drawn straight the dark innards of the
earth and brought to livid life – probably not the most soothing
bedtime story for a small boy. |
 |
Killing The Fittest
Santosh Kale
India 2007, 3’30
It might be time to give cockroaches some respect – they
might wind up outliving us. A super stylish look at the multi talented
roach army that will inherit the earth. |
 |
Hezurbeltzak, A
Common Grave
I Onederra
Spain 2007, 4’30
Try to imagine the result if Ralph Steadman went beastially
surreal and decided to drag a certain famous mouse into this gnarled
cauldron of visuality? That would be a start….. |
