Procreation for a Better Australia |
9 |
Remember those old duck-and-cover
documentaries of the 1950's? Everything was so simple then. Men wore suits and women wore
poodle skirts and everyone loved to dance to rock and roll. 'Procreation for a Better
Australia' neatly satirises the attitudes of a bygone era as our hero; a clumsy,
unattached nuclear scientist attempts, at the prompting of the narrator, to seduce and
court an unsuspecting sheila. Of course he gets the girl in the end. That's the beauty of
the era - the hero always wins, even when it's obvious he doesn't.Shot on rare 8mm film
format, giving it that authentic look, 'Procreation for a Better Australia' is so dead on,
John Howard could possibly mistake it for the real thing. |

SMILE |
13 |
"SMILE is an impressive 2005 student film by
Yuval Markovich and Noam Abta produced at Bezalel Academy of Arts & Design in
Jerusalem. Horror films are all too rare in animation, and this short does a solid job of
building the tension and creating a mood of paranoia and uncertainty. Technically, it
looks like the film was shot in live-action, with over sized CG heads placed on the live
bodies. It's a surprisingly effective technique that adds to the film's uneasy mood. |
