Short film: Running the Gammatar
This is weird. I’d describe it as a Japanese kaiju film meets some sort of American slice of life TV show. Yeah; really. Made on a limited budget, Running the Gammatar keeps the visuals looking stylishly rubbish and in line with the weirdness. Can you imagine life in a city that’s pretty much under constant […]
Short film: 1900-2000
A short animation in French. A couple have to persuade a theatre owner to let them run their “time travel” show in which they preview what the world in the Year 2000 will be like. The wife is worried it’ll be a disaster. The husband is sure his steam-powered stakes and automatic farm machine will […]
Short film: Strange Thing
There’s always someone who wants to put their head in the mystery hole. I love that this couple are trekkies (with a Star Wars mug in there for good measure). The question is what you would do if you found a strange door you had never explored before? Strange Thing has a Facebook page for […]

Short film: Confusion Through Sand
Watch through the first few seconds of “what’s going on…” and you’ll soon find yourself in a pretty intense animation. Hand drawn and wonderfully produced by Ornana Films. Confusion Through Sand manages to ramp up the tempo with just a few sounds and powerful storytelling. This is one of those animations that you’ll find yourself […]
Short film: Shoot for the Moon
A quirky short film in which a homeless astronaut sets about trying to get the moon. The problem for the astronaut, Spaceman Sal, is that he doesn’t have a rocket. He has a travel case and a lot of ambition. I suppose the message here is to keep on dreaming. In Sal’s case, though, I’m […]
Short film: Lost Cubert
A short animation in which Cubert’s life is turned upside down. Until the event his life is defined by work, a perfect monotony and with no apparent escape. Things change. If you’re a fan of the film I recommend checking out the Lost Cubert blog for more information. This is the second year project of […]
