International Puppet Animation Panorama (2008)

A bizarre, uber imaginative little garden filled with arguing apples, tiny elephants bred to vacuum under furniture and a masked, crime fighting butler called to action by a buzzer in his tie.

Produced with the help of puppet animation legend, Ray Harryhausen, this film depicts Poe's classic tale of one man's attempt to survive the torments of the Inquisition.

If only the park bench could talk it'd have some stories to tell. A film reflecting on the comings and goings of people who meet in the park.

The underground metro becomes an unlikely point for the time to suddenly come to a screeching halt.

An immensely absorbing, richly textured film set in St Petersburg and inspired by Russian poet Daniil Kharms.

A damn funky little music video jam packed with raw energy.

In a world made of paper a man struggles to keep his face.

A clown-like figure with something beating ominously in its chest is transfixed trying to perform a task he seems to have no hope of achieving.

On a desert planet, a medieval jester unfolds his portable stage and compels his puppets to perform an old story of transformation.

A kidnapping of almost comical incompetence.

A gorgeously animated, contemplative film capturing the very soul of a proud Africa.

Great advice from Mr William Shatner - "live life like you gonna die, coz you're gonna". Featuring an all star (although less than alive) cast including Johnny Cash, Albert Einstein, that guy from the Stones and Joey Ramone all sitting in on a special church service in The Ossiary, a church made famous by Svankmaijer because of the 40,000 human bones that decorate it.
