Replay.25: Grand Prix Shorts 1
75 minutes
For the 25th anniversary of the festival, a programme featuring prize winners and highlights from the rich festival history is obviously unavoidable. In the build-up to the festival, visitors of the website could nominate films from the past 25 years for the Shareware programme. Not necessarily films that were once screened at the festival. Trend-setting examples of animation in the rapidly changing media landscape are screened in the Re-Imagining Animation section.
This program screened as part of HAFF 2010
Showing in this program
Barcode
A road movie through an abstract and virtual world.
Instructions for a Light and Sound Machine
An attempt to transform a Roman Western into a Greed tragedy. The hero suddenly realizes that he is not only subject to the gruesome moods of spectators, but also at the mercy of the filmmaker.
Muto
An ambiguous and surrealistic animation painted on public walls, indoor in Baden, outdoor in Buenos Aires.
Rabbit
In this tale of lost innocence a boy and girl find an idol in the stomach of a rabbit. Its magical abilities lead to riches. The vintage children's book style is inspired by a selection of 1950s educational stickers that director Run Wrake found in a thrift store. A retro and adult fairytale.
Ryan
An ode as well as a warning. A biography as well as a creative art piece. Chris Landreth's Oscar-winning animated short centers around the life of Ryan Larkin, one of the most influential Canadian animators of his time. Before his death in 2007, he lived every artist's worst nightmare - succumbing to a drug and alcohol addiction. Through CG characters, Landreth interviews Larkin to shed light on his downward spiral.
