Oh Willy… is a short film about a porky guy who goes to care for his sick mother who lives in a nudist colony. It’s directed by Emma De Swaef and Marc James Roels, and debuts later this month at the prestigious Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival. I enjoyed the cozy-looking knitted animation of Emma’s earlier film, Soft Plants, and I’m really looking forward to checking this one out, too. 3 Comments » posted in Shorts, Stop Motion, Belgium, Emma De Swaef, Marc James Roels

Unexpectedly thought-provoking and beautiful in its own way, In the Pig, Everything is Good (Dans le cochon, tout est bon) takes advantage of the unconventional narrative possibilities available to the animated filmmaker. Made by Iris Alexandre as a graduation film at the Belgian school La Cambre: Ecole nationale supérieure des Arts visuels. 19 Comments » posted in Shorts, Stop Motion, Student, Belgium, Ecole nationale supérieure des Arts visuels de La Cambre, Iris Alexandre

Seed is a stop motion short directed by Ben Richardson and Daniel Bird about “an egg and an apple who build competing broadcast towers that vie for the attention of a transistor radio” with a “narrative of animal evolution, competition and reproduction.” Your mileage may vary—I personally found the storytelling obtuse and drawn-out—but it’s an undeniably attractive piece of stop motion with lovely photography and production design. 2 Comments » posted in Shorts, Stop Motion, Ben Richardson, Daniel Bird
