yesterday's screening was fun - at Eric's request we watched a bit of the most recently refurbished version of "Yellow Submarine" to start off with, and then launched into Annecy 2012, starting with
"The Making of Longbird", a quirky graduation film that tread a line between documentary and farce. Then on to
"The People Who Never Stop," a non-japanese piece about the japanese. Several other shorts, of which I will make just one more mention:
"Une Furtiva Lagrima," a wonderful stop-motion quip that is a great example of a simple idea executed with precision and emotional punch. You can't tell whether to laugh or cry for this poor fish.
and happy almost birthday and anniversary to Ellen (on Sunday), who showed up with marathoning husband Andy and their home-brewed beer, which was very wonderful! here's a link to Ellen's website:
actsofpaint.com for a little of advertising for our newest Head.
we also enjoyed the convivial company of Eric, his girlfriend Rebecca (sp?), Maya (back for a return visit - good to see you), and Janelle, once again making herself indispensable by bringing back the dvd that made it possible.
thanks to everyone for coming and making it fun, and now...back to work!
