Yesterday April 20, our cyber arts class was included in a special screening of short films, hosted by sprockets. These short films, some animated brought many topics to attention about our global world. Others were just cartoons with foxes running around. One film, done in French was about a man making a movie, and it follows him shooting one of his scenes in a hospital. The whole short film leaves you confused, with the actors making it seem actually real. This comes to your attention when the actress is acting sick even when they are not shooting. I though this was a very unique technique for a movie to use.
The next longer film we saw was a cartoon in French, taking place in forest and a castle. It followed the story of a depressed princess with her rat "parents" and her unicorn friend named "U". U helps her become happy and almost acts as her guardian angle, as Molly the princess describes it. Their land is disrupted by a travelling gang of musicians. Molly's "parents" do not approve of these visitors and want them off their land. The whole story focuses on in depth character development for every single character. You feel compassion for every character, and understand their problems from every angle. No other movie has made me understand each character so well. These short films were a great experience and I'm glad I was a part of it.
