DAY 1 - SHORT FILMS - MYSTERIOUS
16:00 Friday 27/09/2024
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 stop-motion animated fantasy inspired by the works of Ladislas Starevich. About the production: A four-year labor of love begun in 2020 as a "pandemic lockdown project" and completed in 2024, "Les Bêtes" was conceived to be a zero-budget, entirely recycled film in the style of a 1930's Ladislas Starevich animation. Even the stop-motion characters, all of which were originally constructed for other projects that never materialized, were repurposed after rotting away in storage for almost two decades.
Runtime 11:38 | United States
Directed by Michael Granberry
