OIFF: Program 9-C (original) (raw)
Oregon Independent Film Festival presents: A program featuring the following films: Hunky Dory L'equipe Definitions Swell Les Betes Hunky Dory Dir: Steven Vander Meer Hunky Dory juxtaposes scenes of animal life with images of human existence, observing the quirky and unexpected ways in which we are similar. The meticulously hand-drawn animation is a visual smorgasbord, moving and morphing in perfect time to the banjo music of Béla Fleck and his bandmates in My Bluegrass Heart. WINNER: Best Music Video L'équipe Dir: Lilian T. Mehrel What happened when an award-winning NYC filmmaker coincidentally stumbled upon a rising-star Scottish musician and his Mexican manager in a Brooklyn park with a Super8 camera? They started talking about their love for film, music, and soccer* (*football), got drinks, and came up with this music video. An accomplished animator (who also plays soccer with the producer on that Brooklyn team) joined the team for hand-drawn titles and touches. The result is a labor of love, an international collaboration, a global story, about solo vs team, the ball and the birds, the game and the people, the people, the people. definitions (TAIWAN) Dir: Bella Shih The essence of a fulfilling life lies in deeply understanding oneself and recognizing one's unique mission. This mission, inherently invaluable and irreplaceable, is a singular calling that only you can fulfill. Reflecting on my personal journey, I urge those who feel adrift in the currents of conventional society to introspectively explore their true values and purpose. Swell (AUSTRALIA) Dir: Stuart Spoard Slow and calming. Intense and dreamlike. Like the swell of a single, unbroken wave raising you up then back down. Showing the magic and beauty in nature and more specifically rivers and the ocean. Les Bêtes Dir: Michael Granberry A mysterious rabbit with a set of magic keys summons a host of strange creatures to entertain a wicked king and his decadent court in this dark stopmotion animated fantasy inspired by the works of Ladislas Starevich.PT27M2024-10-09
