Back From Ottawa
I returned from the gorgeous city of Ottawa yesterday after watching more than a hundred films and meeting just about as many filmmakers as part of the Ottawa International Animation Festival. Over the next few days I’ll try to mention just of few of those shorts, people, and short people.
First, a guy I’ve traded emails with for a while yet have never met. I’ve enjoyed Patrick Smith’s movies since I first saw Delivery about two years ago. His film Handshake was in competition and I ran into him a couple of times over the festival. Now that I met him, I’m an even bigger fan of his work.
One of my favorite films of the week was this CG Polish film by Tomek Baginski. After watching dozens and dozens and dozens of shorts, Fallen Art is one I just can’t wait to see again. Please watch it at your earliest convenience.
