The short film series programmes are the best for film-goers who lose
interest quickly and love plump up their festival checklist. Here are
our top three flick picks for this years festival:
Animated Worlds: This package is chockfull of great animated shorts
including the 2012 Academy Award winner The Fantastic Flying Books of
Mr Morris Lessmore.
The End Of Days: A collection of comedic doomsday shorts featuring
everything from zombies, aliens and the end of the world. Our top pick
is The Voorman Problem starring Martin Freeman (Tim from the
British Office) dealing with a prisoner who is convinced to be
the allmighty deity himself.
Short, Fast and Funny: Who doesnt love to laugh out loud? Really
loud? This collection of hilarious shorts will make you gaffaw until you
tear up. The standout motion picture of the package has got to be the Blitzen
Trapper Massacre featuring the weirdest funny-guy around, Rainn
Wilson, stalking his favourite band. Kait Kucy
