Joseph Pierce “The Pub”


In The Pub, Joseph Pierce uses his surreal magnifying glass to shine a light on the murky slipstream of a North London pub. Similar to his previously highlighted films, A Family Portrait and Stand Up, Pierce uses a combo of shot footage and animation to illuminate and accentuate the emotional states of the pub patrons.

Fun shots of the pub in progress are available on flickR and a great interview with Joseph Pierce is available at Directors Notes.

Destino by Salvador Dali and Walt Disney

destino_still

Destino is a short film written and storyboarded in 1945 by Salvador Dali and Walt Disney that was shelved for financial reasons, but then re-discovered and completed in 2003 by Dominique Monfrey. It was released in a limited run theatrically with the Triplets of Belleville, and may have a 2010 release on DVD. Wikipedia entry here.

How long this will last on YouTube is anyone’s guess, so take a peek before it’s gone.
Edit: The video was removed on Youtube. We’ll all have to wait for the DVD now …

Vinicius Costa “Special Guest: The Journey”

viniciuscosta_thespecialguest

Brazilian director Vinicius Costa shows off some mixed media chops in his new short, “Special Guest: The Journey.” There’s a suitcase as cabinet of curiosities with flapping airplane, piano keyboard parking lot, and pink neuron climbing through a Dali-inspired landscape. It’s an endless, playful, stream of consciousness loop that rewards repeated viewings (are those people dancing in the front yard?).

Costa’s debut film with 1st Avenue Machine-sibling Special Guest is in the studio’s tradition of having new directors create a film based on their idea of The Special Guest. From Costa: “It occurred to me that just looking at someone’s luggage could tell you a lot about the owner’s personality.”

Director: Vinicius Costa
Production Services: Animatorio
