Fifty Feet that Shook the World

This stop-motion homage to the silent, Russian classics takes a twisted look at the on-going war between film and video (imagine Jan Svankmajer remaking Potemkin!). Originally made for LA Flicker’s “Attack of the 50 Foot Reels” (one roll of Super 8 film, edited in camera, sound created without seeing the footage). Awards: Ann Arbor Film Festival 2004, Best Animation; Athens Independent Film Festival 2004, 2nd Place Animation; Humboldt Film Festival 2004, Honorable Mention
