'Zombie Dogs' - Dir: Toh Hai Leong, Sinapore
"I
though it was quite a hard film to watch. It's a documentary
about the political system in Malaysia, and I knew nothing
about it before. It seemed to be against western society.
The younger generation not understanding what politics
are, like British Western Society. I was a little bit bored
towards to end and it could do with some graphics." |

Film Council Digital Shorts
"There were some good ones, the one that was
documentary based stood out, I though it was very good. It's
just a pity there wasn't more people in the audience. They
deserved a much wider showing. I'm seeing the Peter Greenaway
and Tarnation screenings, if I can find my pass, which is
in my lost purse!" |

Andrew, North Wales
"There
was some interesting stuff, quite diverse. I enjoyed the
one that was like that Audi advert because I love cars.
It's a good idea to have an open drop in style cinema,
they should do that more often with short films and videos " |

Reburn & Roxanne Borowska, students, Sheffield
Jerome: "Really
cool, some were I thought, not as good as I'd like
but others made up for it. There was a particular
one, very much the music I like, a kind of visual
representation of the music that was being played.
Quite a minimalist use of pianos and beeps, my favorite.
Yes it was an hour of really interesting, relaxing
videos."
Roxanne: "I
thought the collection as a whole was quite short,
which was a bit disappointing. I though that all
the music style was kind of similar throughout, which
kind of creates continuity but it would have been
nice to have a bit of diversity. Very good over all
I think!" |
Phil Banister, works for Sheffield Uny.
OneDotZero - Wavelength 04
"I
though it was mind blowing, it just makes you think
there are a lot of creative people out there with
a lot of time on their hands. Those things are so
pain steakingly done, the creative process and the
ideas as well, it wasn't just flash and empty. Yeah
just a hell of the lot to take in, in the space of
an hour and a half. I think the Air Performances,
which was entirely abstract, and I think completely
monochrome, was amazing, and Hunted by a Freak, was
extremely funny and deified description!" |

marvelous! I must come again, but sorry I'm in a rush now!" |
