FWAF 2009 – 'PLEASE SAY SOMETHING' by David O'Reilly

Please Say Something – Full Length from David OReilly on Vimeo.

David O’Reilly’s Please Say Something is one of the highlights of this year’s Floating World Animation Fest.  The deceptively archaic polygon style actually provides a very emotional and cinematic experience for the viewer.  This poignant and moving short film tells the story of a troubled relationship between a Cat and Mouse set in the distant Future.  Winner of the Golden Bear for best short film at the 2009 Berlinale.

The 3rd annual Floating World Animation Fest features senses shattering video art and psychedelic animation from the secret world of motionography. 3+ hours of mind melting, soul loving psychedelicanimation… this summer’s ultimate videocation!

Theusaisamonster Is Done Fighting

Your contributing editor learned a long time ago to be suspicious of most white dreads but theusaisamonster guys get a lifetime pass because they make unstoppable songs like “Cocaine Wedding” and create things like the above eight-minute-long forest-prog fantasy animation video. Witness “Fight No More Forever (remix)” and understand why people are bummed that they’ll be playing their last-ever show, this Saturday, May 9, 2009. Go click around on their mySpace page for more about that show.

A bit more info: The film is directed by Peter Glantz and incorporates 150 fresh new drawings by the great Kevin Hooyman, who was recently featured on this site. The song originally featured on THEUSAISAMONSTER’s “Tasheyana Compost” album.

UPDATE: Director Peter Glantz wrote to let us know that you can download yer very own HD copy of the above video — suitable for iPod screenings, etc — for $1.50. Wotta deal! Just click below …

Floating World Animation Fest 2009 – Holocene, June 25th

The 3rd annual Floating World Animation Fest features mind melting video art and psychedelic animation from the secret world of motionography. “Secret” meaning these are the geniuses that make your music videos, on air graphics, commercials, credit sequences, and movie fx by day… but a closer look at their resumes reveals a true passion for artistic expression and creativity in their short films and experimental personal work.

This year’s fest screens at Holocene in Portland, OR, Thursday June 25th, with a special bonus program curated by Show Cave Gallery (Los Angeles). Trailer features: Yoshi Sodeoka, Eve Duhamel, Peppermelon, Nofun, Bruno Dicolla, Mato Atom, Kaliptus, Kirsten Lepore, David O’Reilly, Nicolas Djandji, Peter Glantz. Music by: Glaznost. Poster by: Psilo Design. I’ll post more films from the fest over the next few weeks.
