Unravel Dir. Caroline Huf / AUS / 2008 / 6:50 An emotional unravelling, which reveals itself through the movement of found objects, plasticine and medication boxes that transform into strange forms that seem to be trying to tell us something.
Lonely Girl Dir. Kyle Evans / AUS / 2009 / 1:44 A young girl is happy and content in her own little world – then a strange man keeps bothering her. At first she tries to just ignore him, but then things get really weird.
The Animated Heavy Metal Parking Lot Dir. Leslie Supnet / USA / 2008 / 1:40 An animated tribute to Jeff Krulik and John Heyn’s 1986 video documentary classic, Heavy Metal Parking Lot.
Flip Dir. Peter W. Allen / AUS / 2009 / 2:22 Animated in hand-drawn flipbook style, ‘Flip’ uses humour to graphically explore the consequences of violence.
Oh So Sweet Dir. Amy Meyer / AUS / 2009 / 0:30 Have you ever spat on the birthday cake when blowing out your candles? A birthday cake wishes it had an umbrella to protect it from such mishaps.
Flying Lesson Dir. Rosane Chamecki, Andrea Lerner, Phil Harder / USA / 2007 / 4:37 Two women bat their wings, preparing to take off. They practice the dream of flight.
Bicycle Boy Dir. Marieka Walsh, Emmanuela Prigioni, Sarah Eddowes / AUS / 2009 / 1:12 This film depicts a little boy’s exploration of his surrealistic urban environment.
New Educational Series: Better Military Modelling Dir. Jill Kennedy / NZ / 2008 / 7:00 Intricately constructed from images sourced from out-dated instruction and education manuals of the 60’s and 70’s this film re-imagines childhood knowledge through a playful pastiche of images, movement and sound.
Cattle Call Dir. Matthew Rankin & Miki Maryniuk / CAN / 2008 / 3:30 A hyper-speed, abstract, absurd, adrenalizing, animated documentary about the art of cattle auctioneering, structured around the mesmerizing talents of Canadian champion auctioneer, Tim Dowler. A hallucinogenic mind-trip into what Werner Herzog has described as the “poetry of capitalism.”
Western Spaghetti Dir. PES / USA / 2009 / 1:40 Everyday objects become delicious ingredients as we learn how to cook spaghetti through stop-motion photography.
Up the Rabbit Hole Dir. Asa Mori / CAN / 2008 / 5:00 A six-nippled creature finds herself trapped in a capsule with a dead rabbit and a bloody hole. With trusty rabbit ears, she taps her way through bizarre TV scenes: Japanese men on carousels, people in monster suits with balloons, and disturbing garbage bags in bathtubs.
Greycon4 Dir. Brandon Blommaert / CAN / 2007 / 6:36 A scientist working for a better tomorrow, through schemes and manipulations that ultimately don’t work out in his favor.
Sleeper Dir. Marina Roy / CAN / 2004 / 8:05 A surreal experimental animation exploring the themes of the human-animal distinction and the nature-culture divide.
Orgesticulanismus Dir. Mathieu Labaye / BELGIUM / 2008 / 9:00 A tribute to the filmmaker’s father, who suffered from Multiple Sclerosis from the age of 29, this film explores the very nature of human motion. Beginning with a study of rudimentary human movement, the film eventually explodes into a kinetic orgy and an existential dance party.
The Beginning Dir. Jack McGrath / AUS / 2005 / 3:00 Set in a post-nuclear holocaust world, a special machine labelled ‘Genetic Order Design’ (GOD) is created to breed the new human race from blood samples taken from the dead. The film is a disturbing look at the future of genetics in our civilisation.
Triumph of the Wild I & II Dir. Martha Colburn / USA / 2008 / 11:00 With its disquieting allusion to Leni Riefenstahl’s Triumph of the Will, this film is a chronology of war, a disturbing retrospective of 200 years of conflict from the American Revolution, WW1 & 2, Vietnam and the Middle East.
Bir Fincan Kahve (a cup of coffee) Dir. Ebru Arda / AUS / 2008 / 2:30 This film invites the audience into a world of superstition and adventure, driven by the art of cup readin
