Tom Hankins, Gijs va Kootenm Guido Puijk and Roy Nieterau, 2011) When you find yourself running scared and out of energy, there are only a few options one can turn to in order to outrun your opponent through the southern desert.

Our fourteenth film in Student Film Month is ‘Robots of Brixton’ dir. Kibwe Tavares (2011). Brixton has degenerated into a disregarded area inhabited by London’s new robot workforce – robots built and designed to carry out all of the tasks which humans are no longer inclined to do. The mechanical population of Brixton has rocketed, resulting in unplanned, cheap and quick additions to the skyline. The film follows the trials and tribulations of young robots surviving at the sharp end of inner [...]

Feel Flows (dir. Paris Zarcilla)

Music-based short films are often difficult to categorise but that didn’t stop director Paris Zarcilla ploughing much of his own money into making this cinematic gem which took the Best Music-based Film award at this year’s Van d’Or Awards in September.

His interview (in the cupboard) will be appearing online soon, but for now just enjoy the film…

Once in a while something pops up which is, well… kinda weird. This is 20 seconds of pure unadulterated CGI homo-erotic anim-porn (that should pick up some SEO traffic). Think Women In Love meets Toy Story compressed into an inch-thick sandwich. That’s not it,I just wanted you to picture it.

The Alphabet 2

“The Alphabet 2- a horn book video experiment – is a developmental spelling – video where each character visually represents the meaning of the word itself. Playing with different techniques and materials into little and big spaces, but always focusing on Helvetica font’s proportions. A collection of words in a delightful spelling-video.”
