Awards 2005: Guest Film 1


Here is the review of the first guest film to be shown at the Media Awards. (Click on the image once for it to open in another window, then once again to enlarge it to a readable size).

It's a surreal shaggy dog story, full of resonant dreamlike imagery and narrative elements that don't really make sense but speak to us on a deeper level, perhaps.
Like poetry, but without the words - it's dialogue free - and it plays a bit like a Michel Gondry music video.

The film received its first showing at a local film-makers' society meeting when it won a prize along with some other work that the pair produced (remember their school-based version of 'The Office' entitled 'Teacher's Pet' that was shown at last year's Media Awards?) Praise indeed from some very experienced people.

I also love it, as you might guess, but even the directors seem a bit ambivalent about it, or so it seems from the above review.


What do you think?
