Films screening as a part of the ANIMATION FORNICATION session:
DEMIURGE EMESIS Australian Premiere Aurelio Voltaire / 2010 / USA When a young woman drops by to greet her new neighbours, her preconceptions of who is responsible for a horrendous tragedy hinges on a face and a note. A stop-motion short with an original score performed by chamber rock ensemble, Rasputina.
MOTHERSHIP Australian premiere Daniel Lofredo Rota / 2009 / USA/Ecuador The source of all absurdity; the mother of complication. Mothership is an abstract visual allegory of the current state of our ever-complicating, self-referential civilisation.
N.A.S.A. A VOLTA Alexei Tylevich / 2009 / USA Another day, another drug deal gone wrong in this NC-17 bit of ultra-violence set in 8-bit isometric metropolis. N.A.S.A. A Volta is a hybrid genre offspring of a music video, short film and video game.
JUNKO’S SHAMISEN Australian premiere Solomon Friedman / 2009 / Canada A young Japanese orphan and her mystical friend exact poetic justice on a malevolent samurai lord.
AFTER PARTIES DAYS ARE ENDING TOO Lou Beauchard / 2009 / France A pact with the Devil. The future, present and past intermingle in a closed world letting us feel the heroine’s anxiety.

MEATWAFFLE Leah Shore / 2009 / USA An old man recalls his strange and bizarre memories…
TENTACLES OF DIMENSIONS Nandita Kumar / 2009 / USA/NZ A journey of a brain that decides to unplug its cultural programming and purely indulge in the senses. It accepts its sexuality and duality of existence and evolves with each painful birth.
WILLY BUM BUM Daniel Fowler / 2009 / Australia It’s all your fault, you smelly old wasp!
MAK THE HORNY MAC-DADDY Ian Miller / 2009 / USA Mak is a horny guy and nothing will get in the way of his goals.
EVERYBODY Jessie Mott & Steve Reinke / 2009 / USA Animals debate the sticky subject of body dysmorphia and the merits of reconstructive surgery in this short animation.
TASTE Yvonne Grzenkowicz / 2009 / USA A man and woman are having dinner in a restaurant. A tasteful meal becomes something difficult to digest.
