Brian Wilcox.Īppropriately titled, Air is a light and fluffy concoction of seemingly anime principles (about the animated megapolis) with an unlikely US origin (doesn’t feel a part of that film canon or usual style).
#Siff and then there was light movie
The utility for the short may skew very young but it’s a fair enough message movie for that audience. The animation is functionally simple but it works in wordlessly telling a story that means complex things about the character’s split cultures but tells the story simply so all children can understand it’s perspective. While he initially struggles, he soon finds companionship and other children who can relate to him. A young boy feels ostracized, left out on both sides of his culture. What does it mean to be Black & Jewish? Ezra Edmond’s sentimentally sweet autobiographical short explores the surface of this question. Nothing especially has happened, there isn’t much of a feeling there, and nothing to really take away. For a minute, a camel with an itchy hump tries to resolve his itch, finds a tennis racket in the desert and proceeds to scratch his back while being pummeled with tennis balls.

There are far better voices to write about it than mine and I hope to read them in the future. Gosh darn gorgeous, touching journey of a child diagnosed with autism (based on the director’s experience with their own child) and the awesome adventures in the hyper specific world they occupy, where everything is heightened by a sensory understanding of the world and the shapes inside it. The Amazing Adventures of Awesome The Amazing Adventures of Awesome. It has all the parts to tell a story and not anything else. Sweet and pleasant like a bedtime story of a film, wouldn’t mind watching again with my daughter. It’s a simply constructed parable by the French filmmakers but I find that it’s basic emotional approach works for the story like a children’s book would. In meeting a cute mouse after some berries they find companionship in their journey. Fanny Paoli, Anabelle David, Emma Gach, Claire Robert, Julie Valentin, Thēodore Janvier.Ī wholesome work of animation telling the imaginative story of a lost rain boot looking for the other part of its pair. Using cotton for the canon smoke is clever and really the saving grace is that the short is two minutes but could go on for five, making recommendation easy: you have nothing to lose and a clever idea to gain from watching it.
The stop motion process is clearly unrefined, using fewer frames than needed for each action. Stop motion LEGO pirates is a good, simple idea, executed exactly how you would expect.
Still, cute, and promises that director Leo Dinh may be able to pull off a short project with a more ambitious scope. The animation does not always keep up with the frames of the action and because the framing choice also allows an often-moving concept of a camera, it also destabilizes some of the motion in the frames and forgets the context for the action in them. Leo Dinh.įrom Vietnamese animators at Redcat Motion, Linh, Magic Powder is a straightforward chase animation with magical creatures, no dialogue, and regional appeal in its low key aesthetics and cultural grounding.
#Siff and then there was light full
Here, we’ll highlight the full range of short family films premiering at this year’s SIFF festival.
The field is wholly family friendly, as the title promises, and each film is for someone. Ten animations from the world over celebrate the art of showing and not telling, with hardly a word spoken between them, and a variety of multicultural aesthetics and approaches.
