Short Animated Film

I’ve been doing these almost weekly posts about short animated films for most of the year. I’ve discussed twenty four animated films since the end of March, and though it’s…

When you click to watch this film, be sure to hit the CC button and turn on the subtitles. Winter is a brutal time of the year, so this week…

Very little is going well in the world we live in. The past month has been an extended tragedy played before us every night. And as if that weren’t bad…

This Way Up by Smith & Foulkes is an Academy Award nominated short film. Too few of these are readily available to the public. Anyrate, we follow two men trying…

Monsterbox by Ludovic Gavillet, Derya Kocaurlu, Lucas Hudson, and Colin Jean-Saunier is delightful. It reminds me of being young and wanting the world to be a little more fantastic, with…
