Cast

2000 • 17 min • United Kingdom

Cast creates a claustrophobic and haunting space where people and things invade worlds in which they do not normally belong. Lifeless dolls are heaped inside drawers, dolled-up life size figures lie motionless on a windy beach at the water’s edge; a chair rocks in an empty room, a mirror reflects and observes, and a chest of drawers is caressed by the sea. The film has a dramatic sensibility that sets up a false promise of narrative. Its structure, instead, is akin to that of dreams where different scenic spaces collapse and the inanimate and animate interchange. Wide-angled perspectives, shifting points of view and juxtapositions of sound and silence force inner and outer realities to collide, creating an unsettling psychic world.

Fatboy and Twintub

2000 • 11 min • Ireland

Irish writer-director Clair Breton's winsome and stylish little love story is the very model of a women's webfilm - a kind of click-chick-flick. Fatboy and Twintub celebrates one of those love-hate relationship where the girl is either screaming "Don't TOUCH me!" or "Do you KNOW how much I love you." Naturally, since this is film, her boyfriend sticks around, rather than bolting for the pub at the first pout. Fiona Glascott, an actress with illegal amounts of charm, manages to make our heroine look fascinatingly mercurial rather than a bunny-boiler. Teamed with a tub of Chunky Monkey and the regulation Chardonnay, it'll ease the pain of broken-hearted female viewers everywhere. (Kate Stables - the Guardian)
