Rushes 2012 Programme Announced
Now in its 14th year Rushes Soho Shorts has just announced the full programme for this years festival due to run between 11th – 20th July. You can see the full programme over on the Rushes official site, but below we have their description of the Films in competition in the Animation category…
A programme full of unique graphic inspiration, this year’s Animation Category takes us to many places, from inner worlds of the mind and imagination (La Détente, Psychic Land, A Long Descent) to far off planets (Phone Home, Botanical Nightmare), to a local north London pub (The Pub).
No matter where or when the action is set it’s the narrative that drives through. The telling of both old and new stories, spanning from the dawn of the age of man with Pythagasaurus (starring Bill Bailey, Martin Trenaman and Simon Greenall), through the tales of the Brothers Grimm (The Golden Bird) to current affairs in Bradley Manning Had Secrets, unveiling the truth behind the Wikileaks, and into a dystopian future in Robots of Brixton.
Our expectations are challenged, characters are not always as they seem, whether they’re wolves learning to love sheep (Friendsheep), a magnificent beast, worshipped and exploited (The Holy Chicken of Life Music), Cadaver’s resurrected by love (starring Back to the Future’s Christopher Lloyd, Fashion Icon Tavi Gevinson, Academy Award winner Kathy Bates), or lovely Disney-like princesses that quickly turn to become more like Scarface (Whistler).
