ifc/rooftop films (animated shorts)
I stopped over to check out the IFC/Rooftop Films Short Annimated Film Showcase at the Chelsea Market on Monday, and while I lament missing the summer series (rooftops+free beer=life can’t be much sweeter) I’m glad I finally got turned on to the event.
The evening started with Ivana XL (we can add her to the category of marcia-music). A sort of Cat Power, Emiliana Torrini-esque singer whose songs I’d like to download and listen to everyday.
The first film that was showed, Revolution of the Crabs, I’d seen two summers before while working at the Brooklyn International Film Festival, which was fantastic because I loved it then and love it now. The story of the marble rock crabs destined to travel the earth walking in only one direction, enduring 120 million years of tragedy. Its much more light hearted than it sounds.
Though I can’t embed the video here, check it on the IFC website.
My other favorites:
Composte
and Bob Log III’s Pony Dick Story (its exactly like it sounds and twice as hilarious)
